Abstract
Offshore wind energy is pivotal for the UK's net zero grid ambitions, increasingly, cable failures pose financial and reliability challenges for new and existing projects. New, innovative condition monitoring can improve the commissioning and operation of offshore cables to mitigate the risk of failure and overcome the limitations of existing techniques (e.g. maximum cable length). In this project, we will research state-of-the-art monitoring techniques, including for temperature, vibration and integrity of electrical insulation. The aim is to create an integrated monitoring system, aiding network operators in decision-making for a more flexible grid and robust commissioning practices.
