Description
Offshore renewable energy such as tidal, wave and offshore wind is an important part of the UK energy supply
and is becoming more so. However there are challenges when it comes to operating in an offshore or marine
environment. The cable infrastructure can be vulnerable to being dragged or worn. The transmission capacity
can limit the ammount of energy taken from a device or device array. Repair of offshore cables or
infrastructure is costly. This project seeks to investigate the feasibiity of combining two types of sensor
technology on a shared optical fibre network that can provide real time monitoring of electrical performance
and also the physical condition of a cable in a marine energy project. The proposed system would use pre-
existing optical fibre already on the installed power cable to opticallly interrogate electrical sensors and to also
perform as a dsitributed sensor The expected outcome from the project is a system level design with technical
and commercial development plan to fully exploit this technology.
