Abstract

Throughout the three Data for Net Zero (D4NZ) work packages it has developed, the National Subsea Centre (NSC) team have sought to illustrate how, when coupled with high quality data sources, novel data science, AI and modelling techniques can be used to guide and accelerate cross-sectoral decision-making approaches that support the transition to net zero by 2045. The Energy Hub Planning Tool demonstrator (WP4 - Section 1.2) has two modules. The first one improves the ability to quickly explore network-based complex design spaces associated with a given wind farm project and provides decision-makers with a set of inter-array cabling solutions that incorporate optimal trade-offs between targeted key performance indicators (e.g., cost and fragility). The second WP4 demonstrator module enables planners to rapidly outline flexible and resilient energy systems by providing them with the ability to define quickly construct operational models and associated scenarios that integrate real-life data regarding supply, demand, and flows of energy over time and across different areas and vectors. The Offshore Energy Workforce Planning Framework demonstrator (WP5 - Section 2.2) aims to support the just transition of workforces, by helping decision-makers construct equitable and inclusive workforce development plans that meet company needs over both operational (12-15 months) and strategic (3-5 years) timescales. The WP5 demonstrator incorporates our novel AI-Driven methods to ingest…
