TEPCO and Shoreline Wind partner to digitalise offshore wind operations

TEPCO Renewable Power and Shoreline Wind have announced a collaboration aimed at optimising the design and management of offshore wind power operations and maintenance (O&M) by utilising intelligent simulation software.

Japanese energy company TEPCO Renewable Power is on a mission to significantly expand its offshore wind portfolio.

As part of this strategy, TEPCO Renewable Power sought a solution to accurately evaluate maintenance and management costs, predict future cash flows, and streamline operational logistics, and will be using Shoreline Wind’s O&M simulation software tool to meet these requirements.

TEPCO Renewable Power stated, “We aim to expand our offshore wind power business and believe that improving our ability to accurately assess the maintenance and management costs of offshore wind farms and forecast future cash flows will help us make ongoing development and investment decisions.”

By integrating Shoreline Wind’s O&M simulation software into the design phase of its offshore wind projects, TEPCO Renewable Power is supported with a digital framework for insights into costs, availability, and resource utilisation during the operations and maintenance campaigns.

A key task for TEPCO Renewable Power is the estimation of maintenance costs and vessel specifications, including the costs and specifications of Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) during operations.

TEPCO Renewable Power’s collaboration with Shoreline Wind marks a significant step towards more innovative and digitalised offshore wind operations.

By utilising data-driven outputs strategically for O&M planning, TEPCO Renewable Power is supporting their offshore wind operations with reduced uncertainties and improved reliability.
