Software provider Sennen is launching its latest set-to-work module to help offshore wind operators reduce downtime.
Set-to-work can help reduce downtime by one hour per turbine per month, Sennen said, which for a wind farm with 50 7MW turbines, amounts to 2,100,000 kilowatt hours and deliver a £157,000 annual revenue increase.
The work management tool is available as either a standalone module or as part of a the wider Sennen software.
Set-to-work “seamlessly integrates” with marine control systems to digitise and optimise operations and maintenance workflow, from shift management to reporting on productivity.
“It allows O&M managers to build reliable and effective work plans, ensure safe working, simplify record keeping and monitor operations in real time, enabling users to identify issues that cause delays to planned work,” stated Sennen.
Sennen’s portfolio management system is now deployed across more than 4GW of offshore wind, as well as onshore wind, solar, hydro, anaerobic digestion and biomass capacity.
Set-to-work is the latest module, released to deliver safer and more efficient offshore wind operations.
“Over the past two or three years, we’ve identified that many wind farms with marine control systems in place are still manually managing their day-to-day operations. Set-to-work is the solution,” said Gaby Amiel, Sennen CEO.
“Optimising shifts and gaining efficiencies can have a huge impact on a wind farm’s overall performance.
“Our Set-to-work module delivers 30% reduction in central overhead and boosts productivity equivalent to >0.25% of gross revenue for London Array – one of our longstanding clients. We are excited to now offer it industry wide.”
