What is POD?
Our POD service enables you to access and request data sets arising from ORE Catapult and partners’ wide range of innovation project activities and operational assets.
POD, the dissemination Platform for Operational Data, supports innovative research, projects and product development through data provision to academics, researchers and the wider community in pursuit of growth opportunities in renewable energy.
How it works?
Browse the POD catalogue and request your required datasets. Samples of each data collection are available for you to view. There is a small charge to cover the data retrieval, depending on the size or complexity of the request, and this will be calculated after we have received your request.
When you have chosen the data collections and time periods you are interested in we will ask you to briefly describe what you intend to use the data for. When you have submitted your request, we will endeavour to respond to you about the delivery of your request within 3 working days.
Get in touch
If you cannot find a data collection here that meets your research needs or you want to make a general enquiry, then please get in touch with us at ORE Catapult.
We will work with you to understand your requirements and see how our research programmes and data repositories can help you.
Data collections
Data from operational assets can be obtained from ORE Catapult. On this page each collection is described, and various filtering options are available to focus your search. You can read more to find out in detail about all the measures and data points available.
Floating Turbine Design Cases
Measurements from a floating turbine in Equinor's Hywind wind farm in Scotland for 11 operational cases. The 11 cases are selected based upon finding stationary environmental conditions that makes them relevant for doing simulations of the same events. They represent typical operational cases with a range in wind speed and wave height.
Further information on the turbine will be provided in an accompanying document.
