6 Offshore Business Offshore wind energy presents now a rapidly evolving and more demanding requirements for implementation than onshore wind energy.

7 Offshore Business Huge expenses are expected for service works on field. Much more inaccessible. More complex environments. Higher reliability required in offshore wind farms: 25 years against the 20 years required onshore. Real need for remote monitoring of the performances

8 Offshore Business The smartization of the bearings is one of the current innovation paths for Laulagun Bearings. The Gateone-project is helping the company to initiate the development

9 Offshore Business Opportunitiesin that market: Offshore changelle means a constant technological developmenttowardsstructural Health Monitoring Sensor development: Data of interest can onlybe aquired by real-time monitoring of the bearingon field Technological partnership: An additional partner can playa role for the industrialisation Potential of 5M revenue for the company over the next 5 years

11 Technical Solution What is the Problem? 1. SENSING DIFFERENT PARAMETERS 2. SENSING FROM LOCAL AND DIFFICULT ACCESS AREAS 3. DATA TRANSMISSION: SENDING THE INFORMATION WIRELESS

12 Technical Solution What is the solution? SOLUTION: developments of IK4-Ikerlan, consisting of a miniaturized wireless sensor. Integration of some health monitoring into the bearing. Development of a Wireless sensor node: UBeeSENSE Monitorization of parameters that are linked to the bearing condition: strain, vibration and temperature, using the same device.

14 Required Support Laulagun s core competency consist on the mechanical design, manufacturing and marketing special large diameter bearings. The smartization of bearings are a brand new market demand enabled by the IoT concept. But the adoption of such a technology is a major risk for an SME which always has limited resources

18 Technical Solution Measurements at Laulagun Test Center TEST CENTER INSTALLATION Measurements are performed inside and outside the rotor hub of the Test Center of Laulagun. There, the rotor bearings are monitored. Receptor (concentrator) linked topc by ethernet

19 Technical Solution PERFORMED MEASUREMENTS VIBRATION: sensor inside the rotor hub. node located STRAIN: sensor node located inside the rotor hub (right picture) and outside the rotor. TEMPERATURE: sensor node located outside the rotor. Sensor node inside thehub * In all cases the wireless receptor (concentrator) is located outside the rotor and linked to a PC via ethernet (above picture).
