We are proud to announce that Marlinks won a contract for cable health monitoring for the Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm in Germany. Arcadis Ost is situated in an area of the Baltic Sea where challenging seabed conditions are present.
Within the APAC region Taiwan is a frontrunner in view of the transition towards renewable energy, having released in 2022 its “pathway to net zero emissions by 2050”. This pathway includes Taiwan plans on introducing 1.5GW of offshore wind capacity per year between 2026 and 2035. Whilst speaking, the auctions (also called round 3 auctions) for these capacities are ongoing. Floating wind will make its entry as well, seen the Bureau of Energy has promoted developers to submit projects including floating technology for the round 3 auctions.
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology provides answers to challenges that wind farms are experiencing in view of protecting their critical infrastructure. Continuously monitoring these assets to proactively tackle potential risks, that’s the future we envision for the offshore wind industry.
Our goal at Marlinks is to turn data into actionable insights. In a nutshell, this means as a starting point we verify and enhance the quality of the raw data and afterwards we process the data to provide actionable insights to the client.
Ampacimon and Marlinks, have signed an MoU to combine the complementary strengths in monitoring of cables, power lines and substations with their respective sensing technologies and data analytic platforms. Where Ampacimon will focus on dynamic line rating of overhead lines and Marlinks focus on Dynamic Line Rating of buried cables.
Through our DoB White Paper, you will learn more about why it is necessary for offshore wind farm developers and owner operators to continuously monitor the depth of submarine power cables. Ready to take a deep dive?
