Global controls technology company Proserv Controls has secured a contract from DEME Offshore for the first two phases, A and B, of the Dogger Bank wind farm, which when complete will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world.
Proserv will harness its new, disruptive ECG™ holistic cable monitoring system to deliver the project. ECG has been initiated and driven by Proserv with critical support from its partner and fellow EIC member Synaptec, a power system monitoring expert.
ECG represents a step-change in traditional monitoring methods, offering comprehensive visibility across cable assets. Adopting an integrated and scalable approach, it provides real-time analysis with insights through an intuitive user interface. By using intelligence from all data across an asset, the system is capable of enabling proactive and predictive decision-making, improved utilisation of resources and reduced operational expenditure (OPEX).
Proserv’s Great Yarmouth Centre of Excellence team will be executing the full scope of supply, with both Dogger Bank A and B systems scheduled to be ready for dispatch in Q3 2022.
The extent of the scope of supply will include a cable monitoring system solution for each phase, integrating applicable sensor interrogator technology. The hardware will be complemented by the intuitive human-machine interface, utilising Proserv’s TIACS software suite.
Dogger Bank wind farm is located more than 130km off the north east coast of England and is being delivered by joint venture partners SSE Renewables, Equinor and Eni. SSE Renewables is leading on construction and delivery while Equinor will operate the wind farm on completion.
Due to its size and scale, Dogger Bank is being built in three consecutive 1.2GW phases: Dogger Bank A, Dogger Bank B and Dogger Bank C. In total the wind farm is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to supply 5% of the UK’s demand, equivalent to powering six million homes.
