Offshore wind project at MET Norway
View through CrossRef
Norway has an ambition to assign areas for 30 GW offshore wind production by 2040. The first project areas for offshore wind at Utsira Nord and Sørlige Nordsjø II were announced last year 2023. Other areas that may be suitable for offshore wind have been analyzed and we expect high activity on the Norwegian continental shelf regarding offshore wind in the near future.The Norwegian Meteorological institute (MET Norway) wants to support renewable energy. For the maritime sector, offshore wind will need meteorological and oceanographic data and services. Today MET Norway delivers products and services to the offshore industry. The offshore wind project at MET Norway has an overall goal to further develop the services to fit the needs for offshore wind. This service includes statistical weather data, offshore forecasts delivered and visualized through a web portal called Luna, data delivered though Luna-API and also services such as providing a weather brief in video meetings and dedicated meteorologists. For the weather forecasting services through the web portal, the project focuses on delivering wind forecasts at hub height, a good way to present forecasts of ocean surface current with ensemble data and make maritime observations available. Both monitoring and forecasting of lightning in a wind park are planned topics to work with as well as icing on wind turbines.As well as predicting wind conditions in turbine heights, another purpose of these services is to give operators working with offshore wind the necessary information to perform operations and maintenance related to the wind park with the lowest possible risk for personnel and equipment. The offshore forecasting services at MET Norway plays an important role to develop waves and ocean models that further benefits the society. In addition, providing this service gives MET Norway a valuable competence in maritime forecasting. This project will prepare MET Norway for the green industry and the needs of MET data, products and services in the future.
