1. Researchers at Fraunhofer IWES are developing a new system for locating subsea cables as part of the SASACD project, addressing the limitations of current acoustic and magnetic methods. 2. The new seismo-acoustic imaging method allows for precise cable localization in seabed sediments, enhancing maintenance planning and operational reliability of offshore wind farms. 3. The system features a towed platform with seismic sensors and positioning systems, enabling decimeter-level accuracy in cable detection without interrupting electricity transmission.

1. Researchers at Fraunhofer IWES are developing a new cable localization system to improve the efficiency and reliability of offshore wind energy infrastructure. 2. The new seismo-acoustic system allows for area-wide cable detection without the need to shut down the power during measurements. 3. This technology is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and aims to enhance the safety and economic operation of offshore wind farms.
