Trios Renewables

What Trios Renewables does

Trios Renewables is a privately-held R&D and consultancy firm headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, that provides modelling and analytical services to the offshore wind sector. The firm targets three primary customer segments — offshore wind developers, offshore wind operators, and major OEMs — and helps them make informed, transparent operational decisions across site selection, O&M strategy (CTV, SOV, tow-to-shore), failure-rate investigation, and validation of novel turbine concepts.

The firm's core asset is the TRIOS Model, an in-house, Matlab-based time-series Monte Carlo operational performance model with academic open-source roots dating to 2011 and published validation exercises. The model simulates the discrete state of every entity across a wind farm — turbine components, vessels, staff — at hourly resolution across an asset's lifetime, running 30 to 100 parallel streams to quantify outcome variance and convergence. Its modular, plug-and-play architecture supports floating and fixed-bottom sites, novel turbine taxonomies, and vessel-movement resolution, and includes an advanced weather model that learns each site's stochastic metocean profile from in-situ or hindcast data.

Trios Renewables monetises its capability through professional-services engagements: O&M modelling projects, R&D collaborations with partners across the O&M value chain, and innovation consulting on questions such as rotor count and component redundancy. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with renewable-energy stakeholders, leveraging an extensive industry and academic network rather than broad marketing. The firm describes itself as a small team (1-10 people) and reports a modelling portfolio exceeding 12 GW of early-development case studies covering Scotwind and other UK and international bidding rounds; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Trios Renewables provides specialist O&M (Operations and Maintenance) modelling services for offshore renewables, with a focus on offshore wind. The consultancy quantifies operational performance, availability, and maintenance requirements for offshore wind assets using its proprietary TRIOS time-series Monte Carlo simulation model developed in Matlab, and delivers technical advisory outputs to wind farm developers, operators, and OEMs.

Product overview

TRIOS Renewables offers a single unified product platform centered on the TRIOS Model—an in-house offshore wind operational performance model. This core model is supported by professional services including O&M Modelling (covering logistics planning from CTV to SOV strategies), R&D Projects (collaborative innovation with industry partners), and Innovation Consulting. The TRIOS Model serves as the analytical engine, while the services represent consulting engagements utilizing the model to deliver client-specific outcomes ranging from site selection studies to novel turbine concept validation.

Direct peers

• Natural Power: Scotland-based renewable energy consultancy providing technical due diligence, O&M advisory, and asset management services to wind developers and operators. Directly comparable in geography, scope, and customer base to TRIOS.
• K2 Management: Global offshore wind owner engineering and construction advisory firm serving developers, OEMs, and investors. Comparable consulting model and target client base (developers/operators) to TRIOS Renewables.
• Aqualis Wind (LOC Group): Aqualis Wind (now part of LOC Group) provides offshore wind engineering, O&M advisory, and marine consultancy for developers and operators. Comparable service mix and target customer segments to Trios Renewables' modelling services.
• BVG Associates: UK-based offshore wind strategy and O&M consultancy that advises developers, OEMs, and investors across the project lifecycle. Closest like-for-like competitor to TRIOS Renewables in offshore wind O&M modelling and advisory services.

Emerging players

• Fraunhofer IWES: German applied R&D institute developing simulation tools and operational models for wind turbines and offshore wind farms. Overlaps with TRIOS on Monte Carlo O&M simulation methodology and floating wind research.
• ORE Catapult: UK Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult is a not-for-profit R&D centre in offshore renewables technology and operations. Comparable R&D and modelling function for offshore wind clients, though structured as a public-backed accelerator rather than a private consultancy.

Broad incumbents

• DNV: Largest energy advisory and certification body in offshore wind, with O&M simulation tools (e.g., BLIX) that overlap with the TRIOS model. Operates across a wider portfolio (certification, verification, advisory) of which offshore wind modelling is a subset.
• Wood Mackenzie: Energy research and analytics firm whose Asset Performance and offshore wind analyses (e.g., EnergyMod acquisition) target the same developers and operators as TRIOS. Scale and recurring data products dwarf TRIOS but represent the head-to-head commercial threat.
• Mott MacDonald: Global engineering consultancy with a substantial renewable energy practice covering offshore wind advisory, owner engineering, and O&M strategy. Wider remit and bigger headcount than TRIOS but overlapping offshore wind consulting engagements.
• Renewables Consulting Group (ERM): Renewables technical and environmental consultancy now operating under ERM, providing O&M and yield advisory to wind developers globally. Competes with TRIOS for the same enterprise developer clients.
