Assessing the feasibility of 5G data buoys for offshore windfarm installations

该项目旨在进行可行性研究，为海上风电领域5G海上基础设施投资的商业案例提供信息，从而实现未来的市场部署，如东安格利亚ONE项目。JET工程系统解决方案旨在利用海上风电行业的行业吸引力，作为采用具有数据收集功能的浮动5G网络的潜在技术发展机会。为了实现这一目标，将进行详细的可行性研究，以确定客户需求和基础设施要求，以支持JET的5G网状网络。这是替代目前环境监测和通信的一种方法，目前的环境监测和通信使用污染严重的船只和昂贵而缓慢的卫星通信。该研究将包括概述海上风电部门调试和安装阶段所需的数据和网络要求、服务质量和环境传感要求，以及整个风电场运行过程中的潜在监测。该项目将包括对现有海上风电场（包括East Anglia One）的详细需求分析，以及对即将在英国部署的风电场的研究，与我们预期的行业咨询小组合作，目前包括苏格兰电力公司、维斯塔斯和许多其他海上风电利益相关者。此外，还将探讨海上海事市场的替代用例和潜在的早期采用者，以了解未来行业增长的潜力。该研究还将确定在该部门工作的正确运营模式，包括商业融资和部署的途径，以及出口或将数据作为服务出售的潜力。

This project aims to conduct a feasibility study that will inform the business case for 5G at sea infrastructure investments in the offshore wind sector, enabling future market deployments such as the East Anglia ONE project.JET Engineering System Solutions aims to harness the industry pull of the offshore wind industry, as a potential technology development opportunity for the adoption of floating 5G networks with data collection capabilities. To achieve this a detailed feasibility study will be conducted to identify the customer need and infrastructure requirements, to support JET's 5G mesh network. This is as an alternative to the current environmental monitoring and communications, which use polluting vessels and expensive and slow satellite communications. The study will include outlining the data and network requirements, the quality of service and the environmental sensing requirements required during the commissioning and installation phases within the offshore wind sector, as well as the potential monitoring throughout windfarm operation.The project will include a detailed demand analysis with existing offshore windfarms, including East Anglia One, as well as looking at the upcoming windfarm deployments within the UK, working with our expected industry advisory panel with current contacts including Scottish Power, Vestas and many other offshore wind stakeholders. Alternative use cases in the offshore maritime market and potential early adopters will also be canvassed to understand the potential for future sector growth. The study will also identify the correct operational model to work within this sector, including routes to commercial financing and deployment, and potential for export or selling data as a service.
