Ventyr, the developer of Norway’s first offshore wind farm located 87 miles off the coast, Sørlige Nordsjø II, deployed two specialized monitoring buoys in 2024. One of these buoys, from Seaview partner TechWorks, is a 3m wave buoy collecting metocean data. SeaView’s SVS-603HR wave sensor installed on the buoy is key to capture wave dynamics as well as other instrumentation to monitor weather and subsea measurements of conductivity, depth and currents.
‘The data gathered will be instrumental in guiding future construction and operational decisions and aligning sustainable energy production with robust environmental stewardship,’ said TechWork’s Oceanographic Data Scientist, Coline Mathias. ‘The buoys are set to remain in place for at least one year, and have already measured winter conditions on site and several storms have been captured by the wave sensor.’
