AP Sensing to receive the 2024 Sensing in Offshore Wind Award
AP Sensing is honored to be recognized by the Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA) for our Quantitative Depth of Burial State (qDoBS) Method for Power Cable Monitoring. This innovation is a game-changer for global submarine cable operators, providing a real-time, continuous solution to accurately determine burial depths without the need for extensive thermal modeling or ambient condition data.
Offshore power cables are essential for the growing transition to sustainable energy. However, exposure due to waves and seabed currents can lead to costly damages and environmental impacts. Our qDoBS method enables operators to identify unburied spans early, preventing threats like damage from fishing trawlers or anchors. Using only Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and cable load data, qDoBS delivers centimeter-level accuracy in real-time, enhancing cable safety and reliability.
As offshore wind farms and submarine cable networks expand, we are proud to contribute to a safer and more sustainable future for energy transmission.
This innovation was successfully deployed on the Skagerrak4 HVDC interconnector between Norway and Denmark, in collaboration with Statnett (Norway), showcasing its precision and effectiveness.
