Negotiation of Grid Connection & Electrical System Design

With a good understanding of the electrical characteristics of most of the leading marine energy devices and an electrical team with a utility background, we support owners in their negotiations with utilities. GH undertakes the overall design of the electrical system, including specification of components and selection of suppliers. Capitalised electrical losses are determined to minimise lifetime cost of the overall system.

Operational Simulation

Analysis of projects in terms of the operational resources, unscheduled failure rates, scheduled servicing requirement, environmental impediments to access and access capability:
• Bespoke in-house “O2M (Optimisation of Operation and Maintenance)” tool - based on a Monte Carlo modelling approach
• O&M strategy development
• Sensitivity studies on project availability
• Cost-benefit analyses on operational resourcing
• Vessel and port assessment.
