Kinewell Energy has launched its Kinewell Designing Offshore Transmission Systems (KDOTS) software solution.
KDOTS, developed alongside researchers at Durham University and the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, uses mathematical methods to help developers identify the easiest, most cost-effective ways of transmitting energy from offshore wind farms to shore whilst also considering various sources of uncertainty in such decision-making processes. The development of KDOTS was also supported by match-funding through the £3.5m Technology Innovation and Green Growth in Offshore Renewables (TIGGOR) programme, delivered by ORE Catapult and funded by North of Tyne Combined Authority.
