During the company’s four year life time this belief has proven to be true and to become increasingly important. Value creation in the renewable energy industry is dependent on high quality data from production assets. With so many actors in the value chain dependent on data to create value there is a need for products leveraging modern software to make the data available. During the past four years Greenbyte has developed two products - Breeze Development – for wind energy project developers and Breeze Production – for wind turbine owners.

  • Opportunities and Challenges for a Floating Offshore Wind Market in California
    Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California PIETER-JAN VANDENBRANDE Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2017 Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California Pieter-Jan Vandenbrande Master of Science Thesis INDEK 2017:71 KTH Industrial Engineering and Management Industrial Management SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis INDEK 2017:71 Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California Pieter-Jan Vandenbrande Approved Examiner Supervisor 2017-05-30 Terrence Brown Serdar Temiz Commissioner Contact person n.a. n.a. Abstract The offshore wind energy industry is a rapidly growing industry as solutions are becoming cost-competitive and there is an increasing need to limit greenhouse gas emissions. New floating offshore wind turbine designs now enable the access to previously inaccessible offshore wind resources. In this research, a comprehensive analysis is made of the different factors influencing the macro environment for a potential floating offshore wind energy market in California. The analysis assesses the relevant political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal aspects in California. The outcome of this research shows the opportunities and challenges for a floating wind turbine market in California. It is found that there are many opportunities present due to California's political and economic climate. There is considerable support for offshore wind projects on the state level, demonstrated by the active engagement of the governor and the creation of the California Task Force. The large economy and high electricity prices are promising for future projects. Furthermore, wind resources are vast and the technical infrastructure is present, especially Southern California is well suited.
