Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO144: USVs: Platform for data acquisition for all phases of a windfarm project.
Ole Dahl Kristensen, Senior Lead Specialist, Ørsted
Abstract
Being able to easily configure, deploy, and operate a floating platform with purpose-specific equipment is increasing the value creation from floating data acquisition platforms. Ørsted has developed a multipurpose offshore platform for data acquisition, known as an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV). It can be equipped with multiple types of sensors, and while the primary focus was originally wind resource assessment, the scope of work has now expanded and continues to grow. The USV can be used in greenfield areas for wind resource assessment, deployed in development projects to support site investigations, and utilized in construction projects to support foundation and turbine installation as well as cable installation vessels. It can be operated remotely and remains operational on sites for extended periods. Based on experience, the USV has high availability, long operational time, and extended service intervals, making it a sustainable solution from an environmental perspective. The number of use cases for this platform continues to increase as operational experience grows. Over time, resource assessment in offshore windfarm development projects has evolved from using fixed met-masts to floating units for data acquisition. Floating lidars equipped with supplementary equipment for additional data acquisition beyond wind and wave content have developed significantly, but our USV represents the new generation of measurement systems for resource assessment.
