TidePulse

TidePulse is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) for operators and developers of tidal and wave energy devices to forecast power output and plan maintenance windows using site-specific ocean conditions. It ingests metocean feeds (waves, currents, tides, wind), combines them with a device performance curve, and produces day-ahead to 14-day energy forecasts with uncertainty bands. It also flags “high-risk access days” and recommends maintenance windows based on sea state thresholds, vessel limits, and expected lost production. An AI layer helps reconcile messy sensor data, detect drift/anomalies, and auto-generate weekly operational reports for investors and regulators. This is not a consumer app; it’s a niche B2B tool built for a small market that desperately needs better forecasting and planning to reduce O&M costs, which are often the make-or-break factor for tidal/wave projects.
