Challenges Facing the New Energy Sector
- Accelerated Degradation in Harsh Environments: Offshore wind farms and coastal installations face constant exposure to saltwater, humidity, and extreme weather, leading to rapid material deterioration.
- Restricted Access to Critical Infrastructure: Key assets such as turbine components, towers, and submerged components are difficult to reach, complicating inspection and maintenance activities.
- Narrow Inspection Windows: Weather conditions and operational schedules limit opportunities for inspection, increasing the need for reliable, repeatable monitoring solutions.
- Emerging Technologies with Corrosive Processes: Systems like carbon capture operate in harsh, multi-phase environments, requiring accurate, advanced, corrosion monitoring equipment for effective inspection.

Applications
WAND Technology provides versatile, reliable solutions for monitoring wall thickness, corrosion, and erosion across a wide range of industries. Learn more about how this technology can benefit the new energy industry.
Application 1
Monitoring of corrosion in offshore wind-turbine monopiles
Monitoring corrosion in offshore wind-turbine monopiles is critical due to the harsh marine environment and inaccessibility of submerged components.
Permanently installed, battery-free WAND TM Sensors enable long-term monitoring of wall thickness beneath coatings or insulation, providing accurate data without needing regular access or intrusive inspections.
In areas where access is restricted, the WAND Remote Data Collector (RDC) automates data retrieval from multiple sensors, reducing the need for costly offshore visits. This data is uploaded via the WAND-Online service, giving operators secure, remote visibility of corrosion trends and helping optimise maintenance planning.

Monitoring internal corrosion in pipework used in carbon capture and storage
Monitoring internal corrosion in pipework used in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is crucial to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the system. WAND TM Sensors provide precise, repeatable thickness measurements, enabling real-time detection of corrosion in critical pipework without the need for disruptive inspections.
The WAND Remote Data Collector (RDC) automates data collection from sensors installed along the pipeline, ensuring consistent monitoring even in hard-to-reach locations. For centralised analysis, the data can be accessed remotely via WAND-Online, offering valuable insights into corrosion trends through the iDART software to help manage asset integrity and prevent costly failures.
