TGS has launched a wind data analytics platform that enables offshore wind market stakeholders to assess risks and opportunities.
Wind AXIOM is designed to offer interactive feasibility analysis by aggregating many critical data categories in one place and subsequently enabling comprehensive benchmarking of current and future lease rounds.
Jan Schoolmeesters, EVP of digital energy solutions at TGS, said, ‘In the development of this easy-to-access platform, our mission was to improve the wind assessment experience for everyone. TGS has leveraged 40 years of data expertise, including that from subsidiary 4C Offshore, to help customers access multiple high-quality wind data resources in one place, screen offshore wind projects faster, and easily compare offshore wind lease opportunities across the globe. Wind AXIOM allows wind stakeholders to assess their potential investments and future opportunities.’
Wind AXIOM integrates and homogenizes a wide variety of data, said TGS. Data types include high-resolution wind resource data, energy assessment, the 4C offshore market, regulatory and policy intelligence, environmental and marine use restrictions, bathymetry data, transmission infrastructure, and other data sources. These are analysed together, providing early insights into the costs and risks of pursuing a particular lease area, the company added.
