WÄRTSILÄ LAUNCHES SCENESCAN, THE FIRSTTARGETLESS LASER SENSOR FOR OFFSHOREWIND FARMSSceneScanMonopole is the first lasersensor developed for offshore wind farmapplications where the need for installingfixed reflective targets is eliminated. Thisground-breaking technology is designed toincrease safety onboard service operationvessels (SOVs), since vessel positioningsensors that rely on targets fixed to thestructure, are often unreliable becauseof poor placement, poor quality, andobscurement by workers on the platform.The SceneScan has been designed anddeveloped by Guidance Marine, whichwas acquired byWärtsilä in 2017. TheSceneScan Monopole’s advanced softwareallows the measurement of range andbearing to the offshore wind turbine,independent of the use of targets and GPS.

The technology is highly applicable forChina’s developing offshore wind market,as well as for North Sea wind farms. Thefirst SceneScan Monopole was delivered insummer 2018 for a Chinese SOV newbuildproject carried out by GE Power Conversion,a subsidiary of General Electric.www.wartsila.com
