The move towards sustainable energy generation means the Offshore Wind energy generation sector is a growing market globally. The UK is a leading proponent of the deployment and exploitation of offshore wind. Inherently, offshore wind platforms are dangerous work environments with rigorous health and safety standards. The increase in the production of offshore wind will require increased staff numbers and an innovative solution is needed to train, retain and upskill staff.This application will aim to develop a training solution for the offshore wind- industry; wind-farm developers, OEMs and training companies. We will utilise simulated training using VR headsets to create virtual environments where users can undertake interactive training on a range of safety and operations modules tailored to offshore platforms.Many operational scenarios are difficult and expensive to recreate in real life training. This is a challenge faced by other industries particularly aviation and military training. These industries have long relied on simulators to overcome this obstacle and better prepare individuals for the hazardous work they undertake. However simulation training is traditionally expensive to create.There is currently no similar virtual offering available to offshore wind operators. The cost and technical capabilities required to develop simulation modules is prohibitive. However recent advances in virtual reality technology is opening up simulation training to non-traditional industries with smaller training budgets. By combining VR, big data and business model innovation, this project will bring simulation training to the offshore wind industry.VRAI International is an SME based in Gateshead in the North East of England. It has previously collaborated with Durham University to develop a first, test simulation training module under the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership. VRAI now wishes to develop additional training modules to create a minimum viable product (MVP) for market participants to assess and then bring to scale at the next stage.This industrial-research project will expand on engagement with industry participants to identify the essential training modules required, how users of the modules will interact with and learn using the simulation environments and then develop an additional test modules. These will be built upon our own HEAT simulation platform creating a minimum-viable- product (MVP) of training modules. We will also engage with industry stakeholders to produce a sustainable business-model and commercialisation-plan for the roll-out of the business over a five-year period.

迈向可持续能源发电意味着海上风能发电行业是一个不断增长的全球市场。英国是部署和开发海上风电的主要支持者。从本质上讲，海上风电平台是危险的工作环境，具有严格的健康和安全标准。海上风电产量的增加将需要增加员工数量，需要一种创新的解决方案来培训，留住和提升员工技能。该应用程序旨在为海上风电行业开发培训解决方案;风电场开发商，OEM和培训公司。我们将利用VR头戴设备创建虚拟环境，在虚拟环境中，用户可以进行针对海上平台定制的一系列安全和操作模块的交互式培训。许多操作场景在真实的生活培训中重现是困难和昂贵的。这是其他行业面临的挑战，特别是航空和军事训练。这些行业长期以来一直依赖模拟器来克服这一障碍，并为他们所从事的危险工作做好准备。然而，模拟培训传统上是昂贵的创建。目前还没有类似的虚拟产品提供给海上风电运营商。开发模拟模块所需的成本和技术能力令人望而却步。然而，虚拟现实技术的最新进展正在向培训预算较小的非传统行业开放模拟培训。通过结合VR、大数据和商业模式创新，该项目将为海上风电行业带来模拟培训。VRAI International是一家位于英格兰东北部盖茨黑德的中小企业。该公司此前曾与达勒姆大学合作，在海上风电增长伙伴关系下开发了第一个测试模拟培训模块。VRAI现在希望开发额外的培训模块，以创建一个最小可行产品（MVP），供市场参与者评估，然后在下一阶段进行规模化。这个工业研究项目将扩大与行业参与者的合作，以确定所需的基本培训模块，模块的用户如何与模拟环境进行交互和学习，然后开发额外的测试模块。这些将建立在我们自己的HEAT模拟平台上，创建培训模块的最小可行产品（MVP）。我们还将与行业利益相关者合作，制定可持续的商业模式和商业化计划，以在五年内推出业务。
