Business profile
Proserv is a leading technology developer in the energy sector. Proserv’s vision is to define and lead controls technology through the development of best-in-class technologies, partnering with like-minded innovative technology providers to support data driven asset-wide operations and maintenance.
Through strategic guidance on standards, certification, and market positioning, OWGP has helped Proserv accelerate the development of its technology strategy in direct support of the Advanced Turbine Technology priority set out in the IGP.
This innovative solution directly addresses the Advanced Turbine Technology priority outlined in the IGP to tackle key challenges like erosion and fatigue, driving down the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) and boosting UK leadership in offshore wind technology.
Proserv is set to deliver transformative impacts on offshore wind operations through innovative solutions, ensuring greater reliability, reduced costs, and long-term sustainability for the sector
Proserv continues to expand upon its core capabilities to offer the offshore wind market an advanced alternative to technologies that currently needs to be imported or is new novel technology. Proserv sought strategic support on how to develop and move its latest disruptive technology forwards from a standards and certification perspective without which it would risk this technology being resisted and ‘killed’ by overseas-based OEMs.

Benefitted from strategic planning which will enable future growth.
Before
Prior to engaging with OWGP, Proserv had established a presence in offshore wind through the development of its leading holistic cable monitoring technology, ECG™, which received widespread industry support. Proserv have continued to build on this progress by developing new solutions for future electrical systems, cables and other critical offshore wind infrastructure. After engagement with senior level operators, Proserv identified a clear need to optimise and extend the life span of wind turbines. This prompted the strategic development of its controls technology which enables turbine parameters to be optimised in real-time to maximise productivity when prices are favourable and prioritise life when prices are low. Proserv sought support to leverage its unique capabilities and develop a technology strategy to compete effectively in a market characterised by established oversees OEMs. Proserv required support on two fronts: strategic standards and certification support; and guidance to secure first use case industry sponsor.
