The Electrical Cable Failure Trending & Reliability Analysis for Operational Developments (ELECTRODE) is the first programme of its kind for the continuous collection of anonymous data around subsea cable failures in offshore wind. The new platform, to be launched by ORE Catapult early in 2021, will track failures, service downtime, as well as the effectiveness of the repair and monitoring procedures, and use of technology in cable failures.

POD (Platform for Operational Data)

Our Platform for Operational Data enables users to access and request data sets collected by the Catapult from the 7MW Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine. Better access to quality data leads to better analysis and insight and thus better decision-making – this, in turn, leads to reduced risk for investors and greater return on investment. We aim to support innovative research projects and product development through data provision to academics, researchers, and in the wider community pursuing growth opportunities in renewables.
