As global wind power capacity soars, efficient operations and maintenance (O&M) is becoming the linchpin of project profitability and asset longevity. Yet, traditional O&M methods—reactive maintenance, manual inspections, and static scheduling—are no longer viable for large, remote, and complex wind farms. Enter Artificial Intelligence. AI is not just automating inspections;...

Offshore wind holds immense potential to supply clean electricity at gigawatt scale – but siting these massive projects is anything but simple. Developers must consider wind resource availability, seabed conditions, environmental impact, marine traffic, grid proximity, and more – across dynamic and often data-scarce ocean zones. That’s where Artificial Intelligence...
