dc.description.abstract | This study presents an analysis of measurements made from an orientation sensor placed
in the subsea end of two tidal power subsea transmission cables deployed in the Minas
Passage at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy tidal power test site. Monitoring
the ends of the cables is important to ensure the stability of the ends seabed in the strong
tidal environment. Movement of the cable ends could result in cable damage or reduced
lifespan of the cables causing setbacks for operations at the tidal energy the test site. The
sensor package was tested prior to deployment with the subsea transmission cables to
determine the accuracy and expected variation of the orientation and accelerometer
measurements. With this understanding of the expected variation of the sensor under static
conditions, thresholds were selected to identify movement and changes of orientation of
the cable abandonment terminations. Data collected from the sensor packages in the
deployed cables indicates that the abandonment terminations of the two cables were stable
on the seabed over the data collection period. Accelerometer measurements collected from
one of the two cables indicated an impact to the abandonment termination but did not
correspond to a change in orientation measurements. | en_US |
