WFS Technologies- What is Subsea Internet of Things (SIoT)

Subsea Internet of Things: is a network of smart wireless sensors and devices configured to provide actionable operational intelligence such as performance, condition and diagnostic information.Subsea Internet of Things

What is the Subsea Internet of Things?- Smart DevicesMulti-parameter smart sensorAsset Integrity: Temp, UT, CP, Vibration, CrackFlow Assurance: Temp, Flow, VibrationHybrid comms: wired/wirelessIntelligent bandwidth managementLocal data processing low data densityLocal process model correction fog computingIntelligent power managementLocal power generation

Whats a smart subsea device?At the most basic level, smart devices are compact PLCs with multiple sensorsThe sensor package will change according to the requirement.Typical sensors will include temperature, corrosion, vibration, flow, strain, positionThe device has data storage and onboard algorithms to run basic control and data processingIf the device is wireless, it will have power management technology and perhaps even local power generationBut Smart devices will also have local computing to run data analytics, matching the long term performance of the process plant against predictive models: fatigue, corrosion, flow. It will use this information to characterise the process or equipment and correct the In IoT jargon, these are called Fog nodes5

Reducing Offshore CostsWhy are offshore costs so high?Low levels of automation - production and inspectionHigh cost of interventionOver-designLow extraction efficiency

How Subsea Internet of Things Drives down CostsIncrease production efficiencyReduce inspection costsExtend asset lifeLower field extension costsLower green field CAPEX/OPEX

Demonstrations- Seatooth HybridImpact of water quality on wireless performance

Battery LifeOptimum operating environment of wireless technologies

Radio is not supposed to communicate through water. To an extent, this is true.But light, which is another part of the EM spectrum does go through waterThe attenuation of radio waves in water is pretty aggressive about 55dB/lambda. A practical subsea radio system will communicate over around 2 lambda. So driving down the frequency increases range. The trade-off is bandwidth which reduces with frequencyBut radio also propagates through the water-air boundary and through the seabed.A radio signal will find the path of least resistance. So if a radio is placed near the seabed, the range is extended The attached chart shows the bandwidth/range tradeoff for practical subsea radios7
