Operations and maintenance is a vital area of
research in the push to make wave energy a commercial reality.
A tool has previously been developed by Pelamis Wave Power to
obtain reliable estimates for operational expenditure and ensure
smooth running of wave energy arrays. Wave Energy Scotland is
now tasked with the future development of this operations and
maintenance tool. One of its key inputs is the wave and wind data
used to simulate weather windows suitable for marine access.
This paper details the creation and validation of a Markov Chain
Model to enhance the weather simulation capabilities of the tool.
This will ensure that the operations and maintenance strategy of
wave energy arrays is modelled more realistically, resulting in an
increased confidence in cost estimates and logistical
arrangements.
