This proposal focuses on the development of an integrated application covering the first three elements mentioned in the ITT SoW Annex A2: a) Planning dashboard for wind farm design and operations, including weather windows for off-shore operations planning; b) Winds for resource assessment and wake; c) Rain Erosion of Wind Turbine Blades. EO based services can provide valuable information during the design stage by providing a long time series of wind data that allows a better assessment and characterization of the wind resource energy production potential of different possible wind farm (WF) sites, helping to select the most advantageous ones. These typical site wind characteristics can also assist in the determination of the optimal location of each individual wind turbine (WT) inside the specified site boundaries, minimizing combined WT wake influence and therefore minimizing energy production losses. Once the WF is operational, the EO based services can help establish optimal site maintenance weather windows and help foresee or determine/monitor possible rain erosion effects on the WT blades. Long time series of wind and wave data will help determine possible overall weather windows for those operations, while short term weather forecast can provide valuable information to guide the planned maintenance activities (e.g. adjust time window for the activity based on weather forecast inputs). In this proposal the proposed services will be specified, implemented, tested and demonstrated, following the requirements defined in the SoW Annex A2 , the Atlantic from Space Workshop and the main identified user of those services, EDP, one of the project partners. The use case will be the Windfloat Atlantic wind farm project installed in the offshore region 20 km off the coast of Viana do Castelo and managed by. Nevertheless during the early user engagement the consortium team will be in contact, together with the Atlantic Project Office, with a series of stakeholders working in the Atlantic Region to help consolidate those requirements and derive additional requirements. As a result, additional service exercises for different users might be prepared.
