EDF Renewables for Offshore Wind
EDF Renewables is a major international renewable energy provider with a global portfolio of 8 offshore wind projects across Europe, including France, Belgium, Denmark and the UK.
About the partnership
EDF Renewables has selected Kraken to deliver a software system that will improve the operational efficiency and safety of its global offshore wind projects.
The software will enable EDF Renewables to manage operations across its international portfolio, notably in France and the United Kingdom, using one centralised system.
This multi-site capability is crucial to EDF Renewables as it continues to expand its portfolio. Furthermore, validating Kraken's technology will showcase the benefits of digitisation to the wider industry.
Kraken's multi-site capability, which was crucial to EDF Renewables, was developed with the help of a £40,000 funding from the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP).
The Kraken system will power the control room for the wind farms, maximising the use of valuable technicians and vessels while ensuring safe working.
It will allow EDF Renewables to plan ahead and respond to real-time data so the team can make informed decisions without delay. It also means the performance of each wind farm can be closely monitored.
Appointing Kraken positions EDF Renewables at the forefront of digital transformation in the sector, ultimately improving the operational efficiency and safety of its global offshore wind projects.
Looking ahead
As part of the five-year contract signed with EDF Renewables, Kraken will continue to develop its software system, specifically its multi-site functionality.
By allowing operators to plan, manage and report on every element of the wind farm’s operations and leveraging the data for optimisation, EDF Renewables and Kraken can be partners in transforming operation systems in the renewables industry.
