Akvaplan-niva operates autonomous glider to map fish presence and biomass quantity around Hywind Scotland for Equinor
Equinor, operator of the world’s first floating offshore wind farm, Hywind Scotland, has pioneered a novel method of data collection for offshore wind, using an autonomous Sailbuoy.
Powered by the wind and sun, the glider travelled on its own from Bergen, Norway, to the wind farm just off the coast of Peterhead, Scotland, where it used acoustic sensors to map fish presence and biomass quantity.
