These requirements define the optimal environment for Bluegrove systems. If any of the requirements are not met the Bluegrove service will be impacted as described in Impact of infrastructure loss atthe end of this page.

Power Requirements

1

...

.1 Power at barge

The CageEye system requires 2 kW @ 230V 50hz at the barge.

...

In case of power source problems such as noise, spikes, brownouts and blackouts, an Online UPS system needs to be installed to accommodate continuous power stability and availability.

...

1.2 Power at cage

The CageEye system requires 60 W @ 230V 50hz outlet at the cage.
Estimated continuous power requirements for all sensor devices in cage: 60 W
Winch power requirementsEstimated maximum power consumption in the future, incl. UPS, camera, etc.: 500 W

Underwater lights power requirements: 350 W

Refer to suppliers technical datasheets for exact requirements.

In case of power source problems such as noise, spikes, brownouts and blackouts, an Online UPS system needs to be installed to accommodate continuous power stability and availability.

...

.1 Feeding system

Requirements Feeding system requirements version 0.0.6. Bluegrove  Bluegrove maintains a list of feedingsystems and , their compatibility status; and known limitations.

This section defines general requirements for controlling a feeding system for sea-based and land based aquaculture.

...

• Feeding tables. A plan for dispensing feed over time. Often provided by the Feeding control system or feeding application.

• Automatic feeding. A configurable plan for dispensing feed over time which is executed by the feeding system. Often provided by the feeding control system.

• Biological data. Data on species, number of fish, weight, mortality etc. Often provided by the Feeding control system, ERP or planning tools.

• Calibration of feeding dosers. Calibration of dosers to dispense the correct amount of feed. Often provided by the Feeding control system.

• Line configuration. An operation that moves a pipe from one cage to another. The operator then updates it in one system, which then makes it available to other systems by API. Often provided by the Feeding control system.

• Dosing of feed. The industrial control system achieves the desired intensity by operating the dosing machinery. Often provided by the feeding control system.

• Silo management. Used for selecting type of feed. Often provided by the Feeding control system.

Required functionality

...

:

• Feeding Mode

  • Enables switching between manual and automatic feeding.

• Set Intensity

  • Sets the feeding intensity for a pipe.

• Alarm Warning Or Stop Message

  • Alarms, Warnings, or stop messages from the feeding control systems.

• Feeding Lines Avaliable

  • Lists the available units(cages) avaliable to each feeding line, by changer or directly connected.

• Enable And/Or Change Feed Line To Conveyor

  • Operates the changers to connect one line to the selected pipe.

• Feedline Status

  • Describes which pipe(cage) the feedingline in the feedingsystem is connected to. Also gives the status of the feedline.

• Feedline Blower Level

  • The set power of blowing in percent from maximum of 100%. 0 when off.

• Feedline Pressure

  • The pressure inside a feedpipe.

• Feedline temperature

  • The temperature inside a feedline.

• Feedline airspeed

  • The airspeed inside a feedpipe.
