Metocean Data Acquisition
2 MetOcean Instruments mounted in seabed frames with surface Dan buoys in water depths of approx. 12m
Parameters to be measured include:- Current velocity- Tidal height- Directional wave parameters- Turbidity
Instrumentation has been calibrated with Water Samples
Deployed by Thales Geosolutions on 17 January 2002 for 6 month duration
Service visits every 2 months
Data to feed into Coastal Processes Model, Design Layout & Foundation Design

Coastal Processes Model
ABP Research are assessing the baseline coastal processes
Then potential impacts of the development can be quantified over the life of the development
Model will include tides, waves, currents, sediment mobility beyond 1 tidal excursion of the licence area
Utilisation of Remotely Sensed Imagery

Collision Risk Assessment Study
99% of traffic passes at least 3.7 nm from development area
Collision risk assessed for powered and drifting vessels
Highest risk around NE corner - collision return period of 34,013 years.

FinancingPrimary objective at present to ensure bankability of Project• NFFO 4 for 30 MW of total 108MW•Watertight PPA agreement for remainder of off take • Reliable Wind Data –
• Initial data from Gunfleet Lighthouse• Considered onshore data to supplement this but decided on offshore metmast to avoid any uncertainty• 60m lattice mast founded on a 32m monopile with measurements taken at 3 levels with GPS data collection

Operation
Efficient Operation is critical to financial viability
Reliability, Availability,Maintainability, Serviceability
• proven technology (see EW 1.5)• next offshore generation:
i.e. new offshore design rather than marinised MW-class• larger & proven turbines
lower O&M costs
