The UK software specialist, Critical Group, is working with offshore renewable developer, Floating Power Plant (FPP), to help the company adopt a proactive approach to monitoring the condition and structural health of its Poseidon, off-shore wind and wave energy convertor.
Critical’s work on the Poseidon prototype, situated off the coast of Lolland in Denmark, will “open up an unprecedented level of Integrated Condition Monitoring, ensuring that the facility can be operated efficiently and proactively, with minimal human intervention”.
Poseidon is a concept for an integrated floating power plant that transforms wave and wind energy into electricity in-situ. The wave energy plant serves as a floating foundation for offshore wind turbines, thus creating a sustainable energy hybrid. A 37-metre long offshore demonstration plant was launched in 2008, while a full-scale Poseidon plant measures from 80 to 230 metres in length, depending on wave and wind conditions at the chosen location.
