Offshore Wind Accelerator: Transition Piece Optimisation for O&M (TPO)

Calling for entries from companies and consortia interested in undertaking a study for the OWA Logistics and O&M Technical Working Group (TWG-L) that will investigate transition piece (TP) optimisation in context to O&M and the potential design standardisation.

The main objectives of this work are to:

  • Review the transition piece platform design in context to O&M operations and access methods. 
  • Identify the main design requirements for personnel access including different types of access systems, material handling, electric charger interfaces and drone operations.
  • Develop a standardised TP platform design detailing O&M requirements for the future turbine platforms. 

The expected benefits of this work are that it will allow for a better understanding of the specific requirements for TP design in context to O&M operations.
