Global technology company Proserv Controls has been awarded a contract from DEME Offshore to supply the inter-array monitoring system for phases A and B of the 3600MW Dogger Bank wind farm in the UK North Sea.
Proserv will deploy its new ECG holistic cable monitoring system to deliver this project, which it developed with power system monitoring expert Synaptec.
Proserv’s Great Yarmouth Centre of Excellence team will be executing the full scope of supply.
Both Dogger Bank A and B systems are scheduled to be ready for dispatch in Q3 2022.
The new system represents a step-change from traditional monitoring systems, as it provides real-time analysis with insights through an intuitive user interface, Proserv said.
It allows proactive and predictive decision-making by using intelligence from all data across an asset, leading to improved utilisation of resources and reduced operational expenditure (OPEX), added the company.
The contract envisages a cable monitoring system solution for each phase, integrating applicable sensor interrogator technology.
The hardware will be complemented by the intuitive human-machine interface, utilising Proserv’s TIACS software suite, said Proserv.
Chief executive Davis Larssen said: “This award from DEME Offshore marks a very significant win for Proserv. We have clear, proactive plans to grow our business in the offshore wind segment, as the world gradually transitions to more sustainable forms of energy.
“Our ECG technology is a combination of our subsea heritage and expertise being brought together with our renowned ability to innovate new solutions. It offers a real transformation in cable condition monitoring capabilities.”
