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

该项目旨在进行可行性研究，为海上风电行业的5G海上基础设施投资提供商业案例，使未来能够进行东英吉利一号项目等市场部署。JET Engineering System Solutions旨在利用海上风电行业的行业拉动，作为采用具有数据收集能力的浮动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。这是作为目前环境监测和通信的替代方案，目前的环境监测和通信使用的是污染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行业在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，以及整个风电场运营的潜在监测。该项目将包括与现有海上风电场(包括East Anglia One)进行详细的需求分析，以及关注即将在英国境内部署的风电场，并与我们预期的行业咨询小组合作，目前与苏格兰电力公司、维斯塔斯和许多其他海上风电场利益相关者有联系。还将对近海海运市场的替代使用案例和潜在的早期采用者进行调查，以了解未来部门增长的潜力。这项研究还将确定在这一部门工作的正确业务模式，包括商业融资和部署的途径，以及将数据作为服务输出或出售的可能性。

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.
