OSLO, Norway — TGS and Kongsberg Gruppen have agreed to jointly develop integrated data and digital solutions for the offshore wind sector to help speed up scaling of planned projects.
The global offshore wind installed base worldwide could more than quadruple between 2023 and 2030, TGS said, but cautioned that the process of prospecting, site assessment and field development needs to be more efficient.
The partnership will work on digital solutions that are “accessible, modular, scalable and support an open ecosystem,” the company added.
TGS specializes in energy data acquisition, asset management, high-power computing and data analytics, while Kongsberg offers sensors, marine robotics, automation, industrial digital twins and collaboration tools.
Since 2021, TGS has diversified into renewable energy and carbon storage via various partnerships, initiatives and acquisitions, and it provides market intelligence from 4C Offshore, wind and metocean measurements, analytics platforms, subsurface data for site assessment and data management.
The company claims to have more than 450 client companies focusing on offshore wind.
Last year Kongsberg established Kongsberg Renewables Technologies, and Kongsberg Digital recently acquired a majority ownership in FutureOn, a cloud-based platform provider (FieldTwin) for offshore energy field development.
