UK government-industry technology development body the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult has launched a new open-access data service aimed at honing insights into offshore wind farms operations.

The Platform for Operational Data (POD) service is built on a comprehensive series of data sets pulled from Catapult’s 7MW Levenmouth demonstration turbine in Fife, Scotland, along with the unit’s met-masts and electrical substation.
