Pulse Structural Monitoring, a division of marine energy and infrastructure services company Acteon, has been awarded a contract by Orsted Taiwan for the design, engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning of measurement and data acquisition systems for the 920MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms.
These projects are located 35 kilometers and 60 kilometers off the coast of Changhua, Taiwan, with completion expected by the end of 2025.
“The Greater Changhua 2b and 4 contract represents another important step forward with the development of Pulse capabilities supporting the global offshore wind industry,” said Paul Smith, Executive Vice President at Pulse Structural Monitoring.
He added, “These include campaigns to measure environmental, metocean, settlement, load and acceleration, corrosion and anode efficiency. All our installations are built on the open framework NX2 digital platform which integrates synchronous data acquisition from sensor to desktop. This will further enable Acteon to play a major role in supporting clients making a difference in the journey towards net zero.”
The project-based integration and software development will be executed at the Pulse Technology Centre in Wokingham, UK, while installation activities are planned for construction yards in South Korea and Taiwan.
