Abstract
Scheduling of activities and resources occurs across various sectors, especially those susceptible by uncertainty, where budgets are significantly impacted by delays, and a need for sudden reprioritization. At Ørsted Wind Power operations, we face challenges due to weather conditions that affect accessibility of wind farms for multiple types of operation & maintenance. To address these challenges, we have created a Scheduling Engine designed to integrate weather uncertainties into our planning systems. We are aiming to deploy the engine to planning problems ranging from tactical asset planning over major component exchange campaign planning, to operational weekly planning. Embedding the engine into our planning systems enables the creation of multiple scenarios and assists in understanding the potential impacts of weather conditions durations. Building upon its generic foundation, with the capability of custom adaptation to the specific scheduling problem, we aim to extend the Scheduling Engine to become the go-to tool for all planning and scheduling needs within Ørsted Wind Power Operations. This presentation outlines some of the complexities in designing the generic scheduling engine and developing it for real-world application.
