With worldwide investment in renewable energy continuing to rise, we anticipate a significant increase in floating offshore wind (FLOW) developments over the next ten years. However, investors are concerned about this nascent technology’s performance in deeper, more dynamic environments, particularly risks associated with dynamic cables.

In this blog, we introduce and explain the core content of the B-gram data format produced by Origin ADCPs.

A category three cyclone swept through Queensland, Australia during a three-month deployment of two Origin 600 ADCPs in January 2024. This blog looks at the data gathered and how they performed during this unexpected weather event.

A trial to understand the dynamics of cable movements in floating offshore wind installations provided the opportunity to also trial real-time measurements (logged every 20 minutes) of waves and currents using an Origin® 600 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) in the same location. This blog examines the results of the trial and looks at how Origin 600 could be utilised for other similar applications.

Origin 600 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), already established for its advanced data collection capabilities, takes underwater observations to a new level thanks to its recently introduced echosounder mode. From monitoring fish behaviour to examining seaweed growth, its innovative design offers unique insights that can revolutionise aquaculture and marine research.

Port of Aberdeen, Scotland’s largest berthage port – previously known as Aberdeen Harbour, was established in 1136 by King David I of Scotland. It is the oldest existing business in Britain, with a history spanning almost 900 years.
