A predictive method for assessing the impact of turbulence on device performance and lifetimes, for tidal stream and offshore wind installations

OceanArray Systems开发了一种算法，可以从最少的，在某些情况下已经可用的海洋调查数据集预测海洋污染对潮汐流涡轮机的影响。我们认为我们已经发现了市场上的一个空白：目前的产品要么是计算密集型的，和/或没有反映物理学的重要方面。我们的算法使我们的技术灵活而强大，确保比替代技术更广泛的应用。我们需要验证我们的假设，看看这个市场缺口是否真的存在，如果存在，它是否受到其他进入者的威胁。我们打算进行市场调查，调查市场的规模和价值，并探索进入市场的替代途径。我们将对竞争对手进行评估，特别是关注来自邻近行业（如风力涡轮机行业）的进入者的威胁。我们将扩大对学术界、咨询公司和设备开发商的现有监控。我们还将绘制知识产权景观图。该项目将成为我们业务规划流程的一个组成部分。我们的市场研究着眼于我们的技术对潜在客户的价值。我们还将对我们的成本、开发时间和进入市场所需的资金进行内部建模。

OceanArray Systems has developed an algorithm that allows the effects of marine turbulenceon tidal stream turbines to be predicted from minimal, and in some cases already available,sets of marine survey data.We think that we have spotted a gap in the market: current offerings are eithercomputationally intensive, and/or do not reflect important aspects of the physics. Ouralgorithms make our technology nimble but powerful, ensuring much wider application thanalternative techniques. We need to test our hypothesis to see if this market gap really exists,and, if it does, whether it is under threat from other entrants.We intend to conduct market research to investigate the size and value of the market andexplore alternative routes to market. We will conduct a competitor appraisal, in particularlooking at the threat of entrants from adjacent industries (eg the wind turbine industry). Wewill extend our existing monitoring of academia, consultancies and device developers. Wewill also map the intellectual property landscape.This project will form one component of our business planning process. Our market researchis looking at the value of our technologies to potential customers. We will also do in-housemodelling of our costs, development time and funds required to get to market.
