The developer of the 860MW Triton Knoll offshore wind farm off the UK east coast will continue to use Norwegian outfit Shoreline’s installation and operations and maintenance simulation systems to evaluate the project.
The cloud-based and integrated systems have helped with contracting strategies and the UK Contract for Difference (CfD) tender by providing vessel spreads, logistics, schedules, weather downtime and cost analysis.
Triton Knoll construction lead Peder Christensen said: “Shoreline’s simulation solutions have proven to be very valuable in the development of the project.
“We intend to use the tools for further developing our project and subsequently moving into construction.”
Shoreline chief commercial officer Michael Bjerrum said: “Working with the highly competent Triton Knoll team has been a pleasure for us, and they have added a lot of value to the continuous development of our simulation solutions.
“We look forward to continue the good cooperation into the next exiting phase.”
The wind farm, which has secured a CfD from the UK government, is being developed by Innogy and is expected to be operational in 2021.
It will feature a total of 90 MHI Vestas 9.5MW turbines.
