An Suíomh Tástála

Is le Foras na Mara an Léas ó 2006

Tá an suíomh faoi bhainistíocht SmartBay

Tá SEAI thar ceann athbhreithnigh agus riarachán deontais

Suíomh 700m x 600m

Suite 1.5km ón gCósta

Doimhneacht idir 20m – 23m

3km ón Spidéal, 20km ó Ghaillimh agus 23km ó Ros a’ Mhíl

Eolais cuimsitheach againn maidir le aimsir, tonnta agus sruth ar suíomh ó 2008

Eolais GIS againn maidir le bathymetry, grineall na farraige agus faoin talamh

Gar go seirbhíse (Oibriú Miotail, tumadóireacht srl.)

• Marine Energy

• Oil & Gas Installations

Deployments – Technology from Ideas Provision of technical & operational support to TfI for the

trial & validation of novel elastomeric moorings

“Using SmartBay infrastructure we have now deployed 4 x 5T tethers at sea, allowing us to gather real time performance data and further develop our product concept and deployment procedures. Without the SmartBay facilities and resources we would not be able to undertake this type of full scale ‘laboratory’ demonstration.” Noel O’Halloran CEO - Technology from ideas

• Re-design, adapt, marinise and ruggedise

Tyndall IMU's to be suitable for deployment in harsh marine environments

• Deploy and maintain the MIMU's on SmartBay buoys

• Analyse and contextualise the data gathered and disseminate to SmartBay stakeholders

• Integrate next generation technology into existing infrastructure available through the SmartBay program to achieve economic impact in the marine sector

Deployment and Analysis of Smart Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) in a Marine Environment (MIMU)

“SmartBay's capabilities and facilities are essential to the success of this project - the WIMU’s are safely housed & supplied with power, high quality data is transmitted to shore in real time, and their servers handle the large amounts of data throughput and storage. The expertise of SmartBay staff has also been invaluable, from advice on preparing devices for the marine environment, to solving any problems that arose with data transmission and storage. Deploying WIMUs at sea would have been highly impractical without SmartBay's assistance.” Donal Kennedy Tyndall National Institute

Uasghrádú na Suíomhe

Uasghrádú na Suíomhe Cable Project:

A standard telecommunications cable from a shore station to the wave energy test

site providing power and data connectivity to WECs & subsea test and monitoring

platforms

SeaStation:

The sea station will be a small floating research platform approximately 50 metres

squared. It will facilitate power and communications to wave energy devices and

will act as a simulated grid connection.

Acoustic Array:

A state of the art underwater noise monitoring array for the benefit of WEC

developers to aid in environmental monitoring and mitigation strategies.
