The Crown Estate Commissioners (TCE) has appointed Garrad Hassan and Partners Ltd., (DNV GL) to undertake a study into the variability of offshore wind speeds in UK waters. In this study, DNV GL has identified, assessed and tested options for deriving two potential industry "products": A robust definitive wind speed index for UK offshore wind; and, A new characterisation of Inter-Annual Variability (IAV) in wind speed that is specific to the UK offshore wind climate. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a reduction in Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) for future offshore wind projects by improving financing conditions through the provision of an improved characterisation of the long-term UK offshore wind resource. For the purpose of this study and to assess the potential reduction in LCoE, a base case scenario considering the use of a nearby meteorological station and an IAV of 6.0% has been assumed to represent the current industry standard.

Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2016, DNV-GL, Study on UK Offshore Wind Variability |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | b05ca5f2-4e04-4183-8d02-17c21d87fc67 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 25959 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016 |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The study has been completed in four phases, from the initial design of the products, through to validation, and consideration for potential further work. The results of each phase are summarised in this report, which is structured as follows: Section 3: Phase 1 - Scoping and outline design Section 4: Phase 2 - Validation Section 5: Risks and opportunities Section 7: Considerations. Further discussion of the background and motivation for this work is included in Section 2. |
