Challenge
Developing technical and economic feasibility studies for offshore wind farms in an emerging environment, facing unique regulatory, infrastructure, and logistical challenges.
Solution
Leveraging our engineering experience in conjunction with our international partners to apply proven analyses from around the world, collaborating with companies interested in exploring offshore wind energy in Brazil.
Challenge
Developing reliable data acquisition infrastructures related to weather conditions that determine the feasibility of an offshore wind farm.
Solution
Applying best practices acquired from our long history in offshore engineering to provide offshore infrastructure projects for the measurement and acquisition of metocean data in deep-sea environments. Additionally, our experience with the dynamics of the Brazilian offshore market allows us to include logistical constraints and available resources in our projects.
OrcaFlex, digital twins e fluxos de trabalho assistidos por IA
Na NSG, OrcaFlex, digital twins e inteligência artificial já fazem parte da rotina de engenharia offshore. Mas o diferencial não está na tecnologia isolada, e sim na capacidade de integrá-la ao conhecimento técnico para gerar decisões que economizam tempo e dinheiro....
OrcaFlex, digital twins & AI-assisted workflows
At NSG, OrcaFlex, digital twins and artificial intelligence are already part of the offshore engineering routine. But the difference isn't in the technology on its own — it's in the ability to combine it with technical knowledge to make reliable decisions that save...
From the rigor of oil and gas to offshore wind energy
The long-term performance of an offshore wind farm is determined long before the first turbine begins operation. Structural performance throughout a 20- to 30-year design life depends on a series of early-stage engineering decisions, including environmental load...
