OUR O&M BLUEPRINT

We use our offshore asset maintenance experience and industry knowledge to provide solutions fit for the Korean offshore wind industry. 

O&M assessment

  • Scope identification: Establish goals and parameters of the O&M phase, evaluation of existing O&M strategies.

  • Industry evaluation: Analyse Korean market dynamics relevant to the O&M phase. Stakeholders and regulatory frameworks.

  • Risk identification: Identify and evaluate risks relevant for O&M operations, such as vulnerabilities and barriers.

  • Viability assessment: Conduct an analysis to evaluate viability of Korean O&M strategies which include a technical feasibility, regulatory compliance, supply chain and financial viability.

  • Korea supply chain analysis: Evaluation of the offshore wind supply chain potential which includes the availability, capabilities and limitations, barriers, logistics and service providers.

O&M concept

  • Strategy development: A detailed strategy that includes the goals, objectives, key activities and timelines for the O&M phase. This requires setting of performance targets, maintenance methods, resources allocation and regulatory frameworks to ensure realistic O&M operations.

  • O&M evaluation: Analyse and evaluate the O&M requirements with a high focus on equipment maintenance, operational concepts and logistics. Analysing specific logistic requirements related to transportation, infrastructure and spare parts to optimise the O&M process.

  • O&M optimisation: Identification and optimisation of O&M activities. Improving organisational efficiency and processes to maximise efficiency.

  • Availability assessment: Conduct an analysis to evaluate reliability of Korean offshore wind assets and improve their performance. Performing reliability analysis to identify areas for improvement, increasing of asset availability and minimising downtime.

  • Technology analysis: Evaluation of technologies and solutions that can improve O&M operations. Conducting feasibility studies and developing new approaches to improve O&M efficiency.

  • Logistics evaluation: Analysis and selection of suitable ports for logistics operations related to O&M. Distance to the offshore wind farms, port infrastructure, bottlenecks and timelines of availability.

O&M planning

  • Financial analysis: A detailed evaluation of costs related to O&M operations and an identification of cost improvements. Budgets, operational expenses, developing cost saving measures including optimising of resources allocation.

  • Supply chain management: Managing the supply chain aspects of O&M operations. Ensuring timely and efficient delivery of spare parts and services. Optimising the means of offshore transport, spare parts inventory and implementing efficient supply chain strategies minimising vulnerabilities.

  • Service contracting: Defining the scope of services, negotiating service contracts, developing service level agreements and monitoring the performance of contracted services

  • Operational assessment: Evaluating performance data and operational parameters. Identifying areas for improvement and developing, implementing strategies to improve asset performance.

  • Spare parts management: Minimising downtime through effective spare parts management.

O&M execution

  • Planning and coordination: Development of detailed plans and the coordination of O&M activities. Scheduling, resources allocation, task coordination and ensuring effective communication.

  • Performance evaluation: Monitoring the performance of assets and O&M activities. Collecting and analysis of operational parameters, identification of issues and areas for improvement.

  • Break-down analysis: Perform detailed analysis to identify the root cause of failures, incidents or performance degradation.

  • Lessons- learned: Development of processes to capture lessons- learned for continuous improvement of O&M operations.

  • Quality control: Ensuring adherence to quality standards and specific regulatory requirements during the O&M execution phase. Quality control measures, inspections and compliance with HSE and Korean industry regulations.

  • Supply chain optimisation: Evaluation of supply chain processes and development, critical interfaces and vulnerabilities for the O&M operations. implementation of strategies to optimise the supply chain and reduce costs.
