Viper Innovations is proud to have been selected as the winner of an Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult\u2019s Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence, in partnership with Floatation Energy and Simply Blue challenge to identify autonomous floating offshore wind turbine dynamic cable inspection solutions. The challenge was supported by Innovate UK Innovation Exchange (iX) programme.<\/h5>\n

The purpose of the competition was to identify innovative solutions for monitoring defects inside dynamic cables on floating offshore wind farms. Viper Innovations\u2019 entry builds upon their record of providing electrical monitoring and asset integrity solutions for a broad range of applications and industries.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Daniel Denning, Viper Innovations Engineering Manager,<\/strong> said: \u201cOur journey through this initiative, part of the iX programme backed by ORE Catapult, highlights the importance of innovation in advancing floating offshore wind technologies. As the UK prepares for the deployment of approximately 1,000 dynamic cables over the next decade, Viper Innovations is proud to be at the forefront of delivering the solutions needed to improve reliability and accelerate the energy transition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to building on this success and continuing to work closely with Flotation Energy and the Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence to support the future of offshore renewable energy \u2013 to push Dynamic Cable Condition Monitoring (DCCM) into its next phase, helping the sector overcome the challenges on the dynamic cable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emily Sarveswaran, ORE Catapult Dynamic Cable Strategic Programme Lead at ORE Catapult<\/strong>, said: \u201cAt ORE Catapult\u2019s Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence, we were pleased to support Viper Innovations through the Innovation Exchange (iX) challenge. As the floating offshore wind sector moves toward commercialisation, condition monitoring of dynamic subsea cables is vital to ensuring long-term asset integrity and reducing operational risk. We look forward to continuing our support for Viper Innovations and the development of their solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Viper Innovations\u2019 focus on insulation monitoring, insulation protection, and mechanical condition assessment for dynamic cables was particularly commended as addressing a critical and currently underserved need in the floating offshore wind sector. The winning solution from Viper Innovations, leveraging advanced technologies such as SSTDR and V-LIM, received excellent feedback from the judging panel. They recognised their expertise, the strong suitability of the technology to the challenge, and the innovative adaptation of proven insulation monitoring and reflectometry techniques from other industries, including subsea oil and gas.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
