MEMBER NEWS: Miros extends services to Prysmian advanced cable lay vessel

Miros AS announced it has signed an agreement with Prysmian Group, a world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, for the installation of their IoT dry-sensor WaveSystem including Miros Cloud Services, delivering real-time wave and current data onboard the MV Leonardo Da Vinci. Miros AS is excited to extend its relationship with Prysmian fleetwide, providing real-time ocean insights essential for operational requirements.

“Miros is delighted to build upon our existing relationship with Prysmian Group, bringing the MV Leonard Da Vinci into line with systems installed on both the MV Normand Pacific and MV Cable Enterprise,” says Andrew Wallace, Vice President for Offshore Solutions at Miros AS. “A key area in our discussions with Prysmian was the ease and availability of real-time data accessible through our cloud-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) Miros.app. We believe the ability for Prysmian to access and share real-time wave and current data across departments is an important aspect for both onshore and vessel-based personnel and key to their digital journey.”

“We are very pleased with Miros WaveSystem providing us with wave, current and speed through water data with high accuracy operating independently of offshore weather conditions. The automatically calibrating cloud-enabled technology allows us to work safe, precise and highly effective fleetwide and at all times” says Hakan Ozmen, EVP Projects Business & CEO Prysmian Powerlink.

The Miros WaveSystem is comprised of the Miros Wavex, a virtual sensor designed for wave and current measurements using data from standard marine X-band radars, and the motion-compensated Miros RangeFinder, a high-frequency vertical microwave radar providing sea level and draught measurements. Miros’ IoT sensors are stand-alone devices with embedded processing and a browser-based user interface, meaning no integration or external processing is required. The devices can be complemented with various value-adding cloud services from Miros, such as weather sensors integration, web displays, data download, data push and device management services.

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
