When a new problem is solved, or a better solution developed to a known issue, we can be pleased and satisfied that we have made a difference.


Overview

windFIT is an exciting service which allows you to analyse wind loads to assure optimum wind turbine suitability for your site. windFIT provides a comprehensive analysis of site wind characteristics, machine loads assessment, and enhanced turbine suitability modelling respecting dynamic wind loads.

The windFIT service is specifically tailored to developers, financiers and operators to help solve the wind / yield / loads balance by providing a comprehensive understanding of the project at the early stage of development.

windFIT is a cutting edge analytical tool that is available to complement our world-class resource analysis service and offers unprecedented front-end understanding of wind turbine suitability for all sites.

Air density and ambient turbulence may be understood, but often important parameters such as flow inclination, wind speed shear across the rotor and effective wake turbulence are broadly neglected.

Our windFIT service combines these elements, taking into account the non-linearity in the interaction of individual load contributors, to provide a realistic assessment of site specific turbine suitability risk.

windFIT has been deployed on projects totalling many hundreds of MW, and also in combination with CFD on very complex terrain.

Overview

NaviRA is the navigation management tool designed by PMSS specifically for offshore renewable energy projects. A key element of NaviRA is the navigation risk assessment, which is required as part of the environmental impact assessment.

Features:

Collision risk modelling that meets MCA required standards

Advanced geospatial and geotechnical techniques that combine base and future case analysis of navigational risk

Easy to interpret visual representations

Marine Hazard Identification (HAZID) and risk modelling

Guidance on suitable mitigations including stakeholder contact and cost benefit analysis

Survey vessel inspection and program management

Maritime traffic survey management (Radar and AIS)

Navigation risk assessment

NaviRA is implemented by our highly skilled and experienced team of marine engineers, vessel experts, health & safety and GIS personnel.
