Use our free ESOX Excel tool to simulate and analyze weather downtime for most of your offshore installation activities.
The tool helps teams optimize project planning and scheduling by allowing all project participants to perform most of the analysis needed in an offshore wind project – without the cost and learning curve of online platforms.
Simply go to the ESOX map and click any blue ERA5 data point to download the tool.
Free, easy-to-use tool combined with at global re-analysis database.
Excel based - intuitive to use if you are familiar with Excel.
The Excel file can be copied, saved and e-mailed.
The downloaded tool works offline.
Identify the most cost-effective installation setup by exploring what activities are causing the most downtime and by analyzing how changes in operational constraints impact downtime.
Identify critical weather variables for each installation scenario by using the breakdown of how individual weather variables contribute to the total downtime.
Generate monthly weather calendars for Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project.
Quantify seasonal variations in weather downtime in order to identify the preferred installation periods.
Estimate completion dates for each position for any confidence (percentile) value. Example displays forecasted completion dates for a construction campaign with 70 positions, starting January 1st.
No black-box modelling: see how the simulation works and double check your campaign assumptions.
