Product description:

  • Cold weather, storms, high waves, incoming and outgoing vessels are a great burden on the platforms and the electrical equipment of offshore wind parks.
  • The transformer substation as the centrepiece of the wind park determines the efficiency and reliability of the entire system.
  • To prevent damage, shocks, vibrations, humidity and temperature must be monitored continuously.
  • The MONILOG® Offshore Alarm System is specifically designed for these tasks.
  • For this purpose, the extremely robust data logger ShockDisplay curve plus is used.
  • Its sensitive sensors monitor humidity and temperature and register real-time mechanical effects with time, duration, direction and strength with minimum and maximum values.
  • The minimum shock duration is configurable and the registration and alarm thresholds can be set separately for each of the 3 spatial axes.
  • The number of shocks and other extraordinary loads can be read directly on the data logger.
  • In the case of limit value overrun, the measured values are transmitted to the control system of the wind park via alarm contacts and operating signalling contacts or life contacts (protection class III).
  • The system is permanently installed and network-connected.
  • Internal batteries guarantee the functions in the event of a power failure. All stored values are retained for many years.
  • The off shore alarm system enables a safe operation sequence through a permanent monitoring and well-processed measurement data, both in the installation and operating phases of transformer substations and in the case of a fault or in the event of a limit value overrun, e.g. by switching off individual components.
  • The electronics housed in stainless steel housings are installed at the junctions and shocksensitive electrical equipment of the transformer substation platform.
  • The measurement data show how a shock can spread from a specific location on the offshore platform and can influence the equipment of the system.
  • With only 4 keys, the data logger is very easy to use.
  • A USB interface allows fine configuration and data transfer to a PC or laptop.
  • The measurement data are exactly reproducible, since every activity relevant for the measured value acquisition is registered.
  • Tampering of the data logger is excluded with a password protection, an internal memory support, checksums and a log of all transactions.
  • The convenient SYCUR software for preparing and analysing the data is included in the supply.
