With global energy demand set to increase by 40% by 2030 and climate change issues mandating a reduction in non-renewable energy sources, wind energy has become the leading candidate for energy production. Offshore wind energy production offers the potential for wide-scale energy production due to its advantages over its onshore counterpart including less visual pollution, less competition with agricultural operations, more/stronger consistent winds.However, offshore wind generation suffers from an increased Levelized Cost Of Electricity due to a range of factors; increased operational, installation/maintenance costs, significant safety issues and limited operating conditions. A key focus of the UK government is to reduce the costs associated with offshore energy production mainly associated with operating in a marine environment, which includes the need for a recognised dynamic positioning solution for monitoring two objects in motion efficiently and safely.Rinicom aims to further develop and validate their Six-Axis Monitoring (SAM) technology in a relevant environment using existing video analytics and machine vision algorithms to a novel offshore wind use-case using off the shelf components to ensure ease of integration and a cost-effective solution. This project will also leverage the expertise of Edda Supply Ships (a subsidiary of Østensjø Rederi) to test and validate the SAM technology. This technology offers a step-change with respect to marine-based dynamic positioning and monitoring systems, with improved accuracy, low latency, lower costs and ease of retrofitting and integration into existing vessel systems, enabling the reduction of costs associated with operational and maintenance aspects of offshore wind energy generation, benefitting society as a whole.With market need validated (through discussions with end-users including Edda Supply Ships) and building upon previous proof of concept in-house laboratory studies that presented promising accuracy results (acceleration/velocity accuracy: <99%, displacement accuracy: 5cm at 50m), this project will further develop the SAM technology and validate a prototype in a relevant environment. This novel technology has the potential to completely revolutionise the way in which installations and maintenance is undertaken on offshore energy infrastructure in order to reduce the cost of operation, increase number of operational days and increase the safety of operating heavy machinery in challenging conditions. This innovative solution has the potential to be exploited across the globe in a range key sectors (including oil and gas, passenger ferries, etc.) and will reduce the overall Localised Cost of Electricity for offshore wind energy.

随着全球能源需求到2030年将增加40%，气候变化问题要求减少不可再生能源，风能已成为能源生产的主要候选者。海上风能生产提供了大规模能源生产的潜力，因为它比陆上能源生产具有优势，包括视觉污染少，与农业运营的竞争少，更多/更强的持续风。然而，海上风力发电由于一系列因素而遭受增加的电力平准化成本;增加的运营，安装/维护成本，重大的安全问题和有限的操作条件。英国政府的一个重点是降低与海上能源生产相关的成本，主要是在海洋环境中运行，这包括需要一个公认的动态定位解决方案，以有效和安全地监控两个运动中的物体。Rinicom旨在进一步开发和验证他们的六轴监控（SAM）该公司将利用现有的视频分析和机器视觉算法在相关环境中使用新的技术，以利用现成组件实现新型海上风电用例，从而确保易于集成和具有成本效益的解决方案。该项目还将利用Edda Supply Ships（Rederi的子公司）的专业知识来测试和验证SAM技术。该技术相对于基于海洋的动态定位和监测系统提供了一个台阶式变化，具有提高的准确性、低延迟、较低的成本以及易于改造和集成到现有船舶系统中，从而能够降低与海上风能发电的操作和维护方面相关的成本，使整个社会受益。随着市场需求的验证，（通过与包括Edda补给船在内的最终用户的讨论），并在以前的概念验证基础上，该项目将进一步发展SAM技术，并在相关环境中验证原型。这项新技术有可能彻底改变海上能源基础设施的安装和维护方式，以降低运营成本，增加运营天数，并提高在具有挑战性的条件下操作重型机械的安全性。这种创新解决方案有可能在全球范围内的一系列关键领域（包括石油和天然气、客轮等）得到利用。地球仪并将降低海上风能的整体本地电力成本。
