Project overview:
Environmental Monitoring of Floating Offshore Wind Farms using Autonomous Vehicles
Awardee:
Teledyne Marine
Start Date:
Q4, 2025
Technical Challenge Area:
Environment and Conflicting Use
Completion Date:
N/A (Currently Underway)
Synopsis:
This project will use two separate autonomous marine vehicles to monitor environmental conditions around future installed floating wind farm platforms. Surface monitoring will be conducted by an Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV), the DataXplorer™, manufactured by Open Ocean Robotics.
Target Outcomes:
1
Development and assembly of USV and sensors for the monitoring of offshore wind platforms.
2
System testing of USV in a deployed environment.
3
Collection and analysis of data collected during the USV demonstration in a deployed environment.
