1. PERMITTING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
We provide services to support clients in their greenfield projects' development according to the national regulation of the project, including:
. Screening and scoping studies, doing a country-wide selection of optimal sites. It involves a full analysis of wind resource, bathymetry, seabed nature, environment, affected services, maritime traffic, aeronautical assessments, and other constraints to select best location minimizing LCOE.
. Feasibility studies and conceptual design, which comprehend preliminary lay-out analysis and yield assessment, alternative analysis, preliminary electrical calculations, CAPEX and schedule estimations, logistic arrangement assessments, etc.
. Assistance during the permitting stage, including services as stakeholder management; land management; specification and procurement support and supervision of engineering surveys, assistance during permitting (environmental, technical, grid connection, etc.) and subsidies (Local, Regional, State)
. Focusing on support during the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA): we manage and supervise the environmental surveys and site characterization campaigns, the environmental assessment and the socioeconomic studies realized by third parties, integrating them on our design' scope.
. Responsible of the design of the Floating lidar campaigns, supervision of its execution and data acquisition and analysis of the results and reporting.
. Preliminary project documentation preparation to complete permitting process according to national regulation.
2. ENGINEERING AND R&D SERVICES
Our capabilities regarding offshore wind farms engineering cover all design stages from scoping, feasibility studies and conceptual design, to pre-feed and feed to detailed design and tailor-made services, considering all packages to deploy a complete project: WTG, offshore cable (Export & Inter-array), foundations (floating and bottom fixed), mooring system, onshore export cable, offshore substation, onshore substation and facilities, transport and installation, O&M, SCADA and control system... Our services cover from design, interface management, support to ITT and owner's engineer, depending on our client's strategy and, particularly, for detail design and those packages where contractors develop the design of their scope.
We have extensive engineering experience in full cycle, from conceptual design to EPCM & commissioning, which allow us to plan and take decisions early with consideration to delivery, supply chain, yield, and operations implications.
In our services, we are technology agnostics which lets us to analyze the technical and commercial feasibility (including production, supply chain and O&M) of relevant technologies developed by third parties.
We provide tailor-made services according to client's requirements and needs.

2.4. CONSTRUCTION, TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION AND PROCUREMENT
Sener has large experience in port design, delivering services for offshore wind as:
. Construction strategy definition and planning.
. Screening studies for ports selections and feasibility studies for ports infrastructures improvements. It includes ports requirements assessment for the offshore wind market including manufacturing and assembly, load-out and float-off operations, transportation & logistics of components, etc.
. Port and shipyard design (port development plans, functional design,conceptual up to detailed): quay, yard, road/rail access and maritime connections, mooring and berthing structures, bearing capacity, water depths and drafts.
. Support in the engagement with port
We also provide construction and T&I (as strategy definition, concept/process assessment and method statement/procedures)procurement and logistics planification, as well as cost and schedule studies and tailor-made services.
2.5. O&M
Sener has an O&M department with large experience in energy and industry projects and we are taking part in R+D projects related to O&M as Float&M and involved in digitalization using digital twins and CMS. We deliver O&M tailor-made services. Our capabilities include O&M Ports screening and assessment, O&M strategy, O&M concept, O&M method of statement /procedures and Operational modelling.
2.6. SCADA & CONTROL SYSTEM
Sener has an instrumentation and control department with large experience delivering services related to control & Scada system in energy and industry projects. Our services until basic design stage cover:
. Communication network requirements and design
. Cybersecurity strategy, guidelines, requirements, and design

We also provide the supervision (as owner's engineer) of the design developed by the related contractors, through the activities described above.
2.7. R&D SERVICES
We have developed our own software, called FARMWISE, for the definition of layout of wind turbines, substations, and the laying of inter-array cables, based on generative design. This software defines and optimizes offshore wind farm layout from early stages, considering production and its losses, electrical loses and LCOE results.
Our R&D services include offshore wind digitalization, floating technology engineering as platforms and substations.
We also take part in R&D programs, as Project Horizon calls (e.g., MarineWind, coordination and support action oriented to market uptake measures for Floating Offshore Wind Technology), and collaborative R+D projects as:_

We are currently developing:
. Floating platforms, as HiveWind.
. Floating substation, as ECOFOSS
We are aware of the potential of hybridization of floating offshore wind with other complementary technologies, as hydrogen, or new solutions that bring robustness to the floating offshore wind farms, increasing their availability or reducing costs. This is why we are exploring holistic solutions taking profit from the strengths of each technology and synergies between them. We are currently analyzing the inclusion of modular distributed substations, H2 equipment to produce offshore green hydrogen on floating and other solutions.
