What is ROMEO project

The ROMEO project is an initiative backed by the EU through its Horizon 2020 programme, under the call topic Low Carbon Energy LCE- 13-2016, which aims to develop advanced technological solutions that enable the operation and maintenance costs of offshore wind power facilities to be reduced.

What does ROMEO project do

Reduces Costs

ROMEO project aims to reduce the O&M costs of the offshore wind power generation facilities

Foster competitiveness

In order to meet the EU 2030 target

Energy consumption

Supports the objective of at least 27% of EU’s energy consumption coming from renewable energy sources

Our Objectives

The objective is to develop a platform for the analysis and management of the data obtained from the offshore wind power generation wind farms during their operation and use these data to optimise the O&M in wind farms

GREATER RELIABILITY

Increase wind farm reliability and decrease the number of failures leading to downtime

LIFECYCLE ENHANCEMENT

Increase the life time of key turbine components

O&M REDUCTION IN WT

Reduce the WT O&M costs through the reduction of the resources required for annual inspections of the turbine

FOUNDATION COSTS

Reduce the O&M costs associated to foundation through reduction in jacket substructures inspections

Partners & Pilot Test

ROMEO is an industry based consortium made up of 12 recognised and experienced key players from 6 different EU member states and 1 associated country led by IBERDROLA RENOVABLES ENERGÍA.

The consortium includes large companies (Electricité De France, ADWEN offshore, SIEMENS Wind Power, RAMBOLL IMS, IBM Research, INDRA Sistemas, BACHMANN Monitoring,), SMEs (LAULAGUN Bearings, UPTIME Engineering and ZABALA Innovation Consulting)and a prestigious university (University of Strathclyde, Glasgow), and will work jointly to benefit decision making processes of offshore WF operators.

The project will be put to the test in three different locations: Teesside (United Kingdom), East Anglia ONE (United Kingdom) and Wikinger (Germany)
