Energioe Nordsoen and Energioe Baltic will serve as hubs connecting several offshore wind farms.
The buoys will record continuous wind measurements for at least 12 months to support wind-resource mapping for the two islands, and engineering/design of future wind farms.
Fugro is already performing geophysical surveys for the Energy Island project under a separate contract, the brief being to provide Energinet with a reliable, de-risked site interpretation.
According to the company, the SEAWATCH buoy can record wind measurements up to 250 m (820 ft) above sea level, and wave measurements and current profiles down to the seabed.
The buoy also acts as a multi-purpose platform for additional metocean sensors. For this project, sensors will be installed to capture geo-data on environmental impact parameters, including bat monitoring.
