Vissim and StormGeo are to provide weather forecasting and vessel management services to the 1075MW Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm in Scotland.
The wind farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables and Total and is currently under construction in the Scottish North Sea with expected completion date of early 2023.
SSE Renewables is leading the development and construction of the joint venture project, supported by Total, and will operate Seagreen upon completion.
In the collaboration between StormGeo and Vissim, live, on-site measurement data from Vissim’s wave devices is sent to StormGeo, which then creates live weather forecasts for Vissim’s vessel management system.

British utility SSE (SSE.L) and Norwegian energy firm Equinor (EQNR.OL) are jointly developing a new gas-fired power plant equipped with carbon capture technology (CCS) at Peterhead in Scotland, they said on Tuesday.
The planned new 900-megawatt (MW) Peterhead CCS Power Station could capture up to 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year, 15% of the UK government s annual target of 10 million tonnes of CO2 capture by 2030, the companies said.
SSE operates a combined cycle gas turbine power station at the site in Aberdeenshire, which it is seeking to decarbonise.
