Precision Ocean Data for Offshore Renewable Energy Development

With more than five decades of experience in marine monitoring, AXYS Technologies continues to play a central role in advancing offshore renewable energy through the design, deployment, and maintenance of ocean observation systems. 

These systems provide real-time MetOcean data — critical for reducing risk and informing the decisions that shape offshore wind and tidal energy infrastructure.

Each project begins with a detailed analysis of monitoring requirements, followed by a tailored system design process. AXYS engineers apply robust quality assurance and project management protocols to ensure every system meets the exact specifications of its intended site. Full-service support, including training, commissioning, and deployment, ensures users can begin gathering accurate data from day one.

Driving Smarter Design and Cost Reduction

By equipping developers with high-resolution wave and sea state data, AXYS systems enable more informed decisions in the early design stages of offshore projects. A clearer understanding of wave loads and underwater conditions improves the accuracy of turbine foundation and mooring designs, reducing unnecessary use of materials and optimizing structural performance.

Detailed current and seabed data also inform cable route engineering, helping developers determine appropriate burial depths based on actual site conditions. This ultimately contributes to lower installation costs and fewer corrective interventions.

Enhancing Safety and Operational Efficiency

Real-time access to weather and sea state information gives offshore wind teams critical insight during deployment and maintenance operations. By minimizing weather-related downtime and improving scheduling accuracy, AXYS solutions contribute to safer operations and reduced lost time at sea.

Supporting Environmental Planning

AXYS technologies are equally valuable in environmental research and impact assessments. Accurate weather forecasting, wave tracking, and oceanographic measurements support data-driven planning and help reduce the environmental footprint of offshore operations.

Configurable Sensor Suites

Each AXYS platform can be configured with a wide range of sensor types, including:

• Wind speed and direction
• Atmospheric pressure
• Air and water temperature
• Wave height, period, and direction
• Current speed and direction
• Conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH
• Relative humidity
• GPS position
