Description:Over the past five years, the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME) has judiciously expended state funds to advance the development of offshore wind energy resources on the Outer Continental Shelf off Virginia, with a focus on activities that will lower risks and reduce costs. DMME also has successfully leveraged state funds by obtaining cost sharing from federal and industry partners to support its offshore wind projects. This article describes two such projects, which combine to provide considerable added value to the commercial wind energy area (WEA) leased by Dominion Virginia Power, and the two DMME research leases, one executed and one pending, that are immediately adjacent to or within the commercial WEA off Virginia. The first of these projects is the deployment of a Datawell Waverider buoy just south of the DMME research lease for technology demonstration. The second DMME project is the development and implementation of a Mid-Atlantic Metocean Data Portal to enable real-time validation of various public-domain forecasts of winds, waves, water levels and surface currents.
