Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Export Cables to be monitored by Omnisens – UK

Omnisens has been awarded a contract by Nexans Cables for the supply of a permanent monitoring system for the export power cable network of the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm in the Outer Moray .  This continues a long established collaboration where Omnisens fibre optic based temperature monitoring systems are being used to monitor the health of critical Power Supply cable networks for the UK’s power generation capacity.

Beatrice Offshore wind farm will be one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms when operational in 2019 producing 588 MW.  The export cable system is over 90kms long, and each meter of the Power Cables will be monitored continuously to ensure the cable temperature remains within the safe operating limits.
