Developing a holistic operation and maintenance simulation tool for emerging offshore wind projects, 2025#

The 2025 doctoral dissertation by Nadezda Avanessova [1] highlights a comparison of ORE Catapult's COMPASS, WavEC's O&M Tool, and NREL's WOMBAT for offshore wind O&M.

Code-to-Code Comparison#

This document serves as a demonstration of the capabilities of this work in reference to two major works to document simulated O&M results from various industry and research software systems. Here we compare our software to the published results from Dinwoodie et al. [2] and Smart et al. [3].
