Abstract
An Operations and Maintenance (O&M) simulation tool has been developed with inputs specific to the off-grid array of wave energy converters designed by Scottish company Albatern Ltd. This paper takes the ongoing test programme of six ‘Squid’ wave energy devices as a case study for analysing several aspects of the O&M strategy for an off-grid wave energy array. The study demonstrates how the O&M simulation model can be a useful tool to inform contractual negotiations during the development phase of a wave energy array. Uncertainty in the model inputs is addressed by presenting the results of three different input scenarios.
