Windstaller Alliance to Deliver FEED for World's Most Powerful Tidal Power Farm
press release issued Friday, make it the world’s most powerful tidal power farm. It is located in the Raz Blanchard passage, at the northwestern tip of France, home to one of Europe's most powerful tidal currents. “There is a lot of cross-over between installation of subsea power equipment for tidal power and offshore wind. In principle, it is about safely and cost-effectively making the necessary installations to connect the subsea equipment offshore and install the equipment required to bring the power to shore. This is what Windstaller Alliance does,” says Guro Hø
Floating Offshore Wind: Attention Turns Subsea for Power Transport
Berg, Senior Principal Consultant and JIP Project Manager. “The core scope is on design and qualification of new technology, getting the right design and qualification requirements into the standards to reduce risk of taking these systems into use. We expect to see the main gaps related to HV power equipment and dynamic cables, but there may also be other areas we need to address.”While much of the equipment is the same, there are differences between floating and fixed substations that need to be considered. “The main difference is the movement and accelerations of the floater, combined

Putting Power on the Seabed: Edging towards a Subsea Powerhouse
Hughes’ Modular Compact Pump aims to come with integrated VSDs, mitigating the need for full-on ‘type-3’ (i.e. supply, transmission, and distribution).The goal is to provide power, ranging from 750 kW to more than 11MW, to subsea systems, from pumps to compressors.This includes the power equipment and electronics required, to avoid having to make brownfield modifications on existing topsides and/or enable entirely subsea developments to shore. The benefits are touted as a more scalable and flexible architecture.However, the much longer step-outs that have been targeted have bigger challenges
Atlantis Delivers Tidal Power Equipment to Japan
Scotland this year and the logistical challenges presented during transit more recently, we have still managed to deliver a turbine quayside in Japan before Christmas. To see this AR500 machine arrive in Japan, a first of its kind here is a great achievement. "Our focus now is in getting the power export cable, foundation and turbine nacelle installed safely, then we all look forward to this Scottish built turbine delivering predictable, sustainable renewable energy for Japan post-commissioning."

New SubConn Coax Connector Series
coax connector series will embrace two primary connector models including a coax-only connector option and a combined coax and electric connector option with six electric pins for handling power and signal on interfaced equipment. With the latter option, users are enabled to fully control and power equipment using only a single connector, hereby allowing for design optimization of underwater systems. Both connector types are available with an impedance of 50 or 75 Ohms and can be delivered with dedicated SubConn coax cable. The entire SubConn coax connector and cable assembly is designed to sustain
Custom Battery Packs for Oceanographic Equipment
Battery packs for underwater oceanographic equipment need to be robust and last a long time. Custom engineered battery packs are often used by universities, research institutes and oceanographic survey operations to power equipment used underwater. Cell Pack Solutions design and build battery packs for underwater applications using Tadiran lithium cells built into different configurations, with specific design considerations to enable them to be installed into the equipment - lithium cells are particularly good for use in harsh marine environments where temperatures and conditions can sometimes
