Proven Controls for Wind Offshore

Worldwide, offshore wind farms are growing in number and size as global demand for renewable energy increases. Additionally, the subsidies for wind power are ending. To keep pace, reliable and cyber-secured control solutions are required to optimize operations and to manage the fleet of wind and other generating units over the complete lifecycle. Advancements in offshore wind generation controls enable operators to monitor and automate individual turbines and their communication networks. SCADA technology allows for these individual offshore wind turbine generators to be interconnected and viewed through a single platform. Tools and systems for direct marketing of wind power on the intraday, spot, and balancing energy market help wind farm operators remain competitive.

Wind farm developers, owners, and operators share an interest in cybersecurity risk manage ment strategies that account for the full life cycle of these assets. To ensure secure reliable renewable power delivery, offshore wind farms should be built and operated with a secure by design approach, with systems-level integration in mind, and with the understanding that the threat environment will continue to evolve long after construction is complete.

Virtual Power Plant is a decision support tool to optimize revenue and resource use based on the combination of different generation technologies.
For example, we can help you to maximize your benefit if you decide to expand your offshore wind farm with hydrogen storage: Every 15 minutes, Virtual Power Plant delivers forecast data to the electrolyzer on wind feed-in, as well as gas and electricity consumption. The receiving interface converts this data directly into control commands for the electrolyzer.
Depending on price forecasts and the current utilization of the gas and electricity network, the VPP remotely starts and stops the electrolyzer, while at the same time standing by to deliver control reserve to the national grid at any moment.
The fast-response nature of an electrolysis plant allows to participate in the balancing energy and primary control power markets.
Virtual Power Plant allows you to make a decisive contribution to a stable power supply and at the same time actively promote the economic efficiency of green hydrogen.

Opportunities enabled by Virtual Power Plant include:

Dispatch between all generating units and storage systems
Real-time optimization and efficiency increase of units and assets
Forecast of energy demand and energy production, as well as market price
Energy management (including storage, hydrogen, offshore, gas, etc.)

Omnivise Asset Management is a modern software suite combining deep domain know-how, the latest technologies and methods, and modern software design. Its four modular applications cover all power generation core processes and domains, supporting both local and remote teams. It is built on a single platform, so users can draw on the same data and insights. Seamless workflows between applications enable cross-role collaboration, while supporting broader use cases, such as Remote Operator Rounds & Inspections, Asset Performance Management, Full Plant Monitoring, and Remote Operations up to Autonomous Plant.
