Retrofit array cable instrumentation with ORE Catapult, UK
Synaptec’s photonic current and temperature sensors were retrofitted on ORE Catapult’s grid-connected offshore wind demonstration platform in Levenmouth, Scotland. This successfully demonstrated Synaptec’s unique ability to retrofit monitoring systems quickly, stream real-time operational control data from remote locations to optimise availability, and reduce outage costs by earlier warning of most failure modes – many of which are overlooked by conventional monitoring.
Equipment installed: DES Interrogator, Photonic Current Transducer and Photonic Temperature Transducer | Communication protocol: IEC 61850-9-2 | Live since: 2019
