The first targetless DP sensor optimised for positioning and station keeping at a wind turbine

Standard navigation and positioning techniques used in offshore oil and gas are not optimised for navigating inside a wind farm. Unlike an offshore supply vessel servicing an oil platform which may have 1 or 2 approaches per day, wind service vessels may visit as many as 50 wind turbines in a single day. This requires fast and efficient turnaround times without compromising safety.

RangeGuard Monopole SystemA new type of radar sensor has been developed which does not use a dedicated target – rather it uses the local environment as its target; typically the leg or tower of a wind turbine. This removes the need for physical targets to be installed which makes the vessel completely independent and can increase both safety and decrease turnaround times.

Measures range to the nearest object

• Sends out a radar signal and detects the radar reflections from the environment

• An accurate range and bearing measurement is displayed on the Dashboard user interface

All weather radar technology

• Fixed beam radar sensors operating in the license exempt short range device band of 24GHz

SceneScan SystemGuidance Marine has developed a new version of its targetless laser sensor which is specially designed for use on wind farm Service Operation Vessels (SOV’s). The new version of the software allows the sensor to measure range and bearing to the offshore wind turbine without the use of targets:

- No expenditure on targets

- No targets so no maintenance costs of targets

- Faster vessel turnaround times

- Monopole tracking gives much greater positioning robustness for wind farm support vessels

- Use in conjunction with RangeGaurd Monopole to be completely independent of targets and fulfill 2 modes of redundancy

- Can be switched between monopole operation and other asset tracking operation with a simple switch

The first targetless DP sensor optimised for positioning and station keeping at a wind turbine

Guidance Marine are the first company to offer a local DP Position Reference Sensor (PRS) solution that removes the requirement for targets altogether. The system consists of a minimum of 2 RangeGuard sensors connected to a control unit which in turn is connected to the bridge and the DP system of the vessel. The small light weight radar sensors are mounted onto the side of the vessel pointing in the direction of the transition piece and simple geometry determines the range and relative position of the vessel.

A Targetless Future

The RangeGuard Monopole system uses direct radar reflections from the transition piece rather than specific targets mounted on a structure

Bernhard Schulte have installed a full DP enabled system on their SOV Windea La Cour. Sensors were installed on the vessel at the yard on the starboard side of the vessel - the same side as the motion compensated gangway.

Sea trials have proven an environmentally referenced sensor system can be used for local position DP referencing. Being completely independent of mounted targets, and based on radar technology, it provides an additional input to the DP system. The RangeGuard Monopole system introduces a new method of data acquisition, thus is not having many common failure modes with DGPS or laser system. The common problems that occur with mounted targets are negated and maintenance of targets is no longer required.

Prisms reflect almost all of the light received and provide the maximum signal strength allowing for longer range in deteriorating visibility. They are typically mounted in clusters to provide a greater angle of visibility and/or to increase the signal response in locations prone to low visibility.Reflective Prisms are becoming a standard choice for laser targets for offshore fixed assets as they are smaller, and are more robust than a tape target. UV degradation and salt build up will reduce the reflectivity of tape targets over time and consideration should be given to mandatory use of AS Prisms for instrumentation.

• Compatible with all laser sensors• High visibility, easy to identify• Robust housing design suitable for handovers• Easy ‘drop on’ rail mounting• Suitable for long-term wall or handrail mounting• Increased range and durability over tape targets

Additional Installation OptionsRail Unistrut Install (Unistrut parts not supplied) Railing Post Option

The new easy drop on design allows the prism to hold its position on a rail without the need of u-bolts for temporary use.

The SceneScan System is a high accuracy rotating laser sensor to provide positional information to allow automated approach and/or station keeping relative to a structure or vessel. It is designed to be semi-portable and straightforward to operate.

SceneScan provides tracking information relative to natural or man-made structures within the sensor field of view. It tracks by matching its current observation of the scene against a map generated from previous observations of the SceneScan.

• Can act as an additional position reference sensor in critical applications requiring increased redundancy such as dive support.

• Monopile tracking gives much greater positioning robustness for windfarm support vessels.

• In jack-up applications where positioning of targets can be logistically difficult the SceneScan can simply track from the legs.

• Target hand-over for traditional local position reference sensors can now be completed on DP with an active local reference
