The first Offshore Risk Quantification Analysis (ORQA) platform went live in Asia this month after SgurrEnergy completed the installation on behalf of Hong Kong Electric Company (HEC).
ORQA boasts the latest technology in data monitoring equipment designed specifically to capture meteorological, environmental, wave and tidal data, including SgurrEnergy’s Galion Lidar. The measurement campaign, located near Lamma Island, Hong Kong, will run for one year and the data captured will be used to inform the planning and construction phases for the proposed offshore wind farm. As part of the project, the Galion Lidar was independently validated against a calibrated test meteorological mast in Germany. The instrumentation chosen was verified as being fit for purpose and the installation of all measurement equipment was validated on-site in Hong Kong. In addition to running the measurement campaign, SgurrEnergy will also be providing operations and maintenance services to HEC for the one-year monitoring period.
