A look at sustainable, innovative technologies for new underwater markets
U
nderwater conditions are some of the most complex that component manufacturers might need
to consider, since products working in these environments need to be watertight, able to withstand pressure, be corrosion resistant and stable.
SUBSEA ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM (ESS): A MILESTONE IN OFFSHORE INNOVATION Leading provider of advanced underwater technologies, SubCTech, has established itself as a key innovator in the maritime industry since its founding in 2010 by applied
Subsea products need to withstand pressure, be watertight and corrosion resistant
physicist and CEO Stefan Marx. Among SubCtech’s most impressive
achievements is the development of its Subsea Energy Storage System (ESS), which represents a new era in off shore power supply. The 2 MWh ESS (up to 6 MWh) was developed to meet the increasing demand for sustainable and autonomous energy sources in the oil and gas industry. With a Technology Readiness Level of 6 (TRL 6) according to API17Q standards, the system has been successfully deployed in a real-world off shore project where it has demonstrated both its technical viability and operational eff ectiveness. The ESS is a fully integrated
solution capable of supporting underwater infrastructure and remote systems that require long-duration energy storage without constant maintenance. Following its successful fi eld deployment, one of SubCtech’s major clients ordered additional systems, further validating the ESS’s commercial and technological value. The system helps operators to reduce their reliance on expensive land-umbilicals, off ering not only fi nancial savings but also a signifi cant reduction in environmental impact.
OCEAN POWER PRODUCTS: SOLUTIONS FOR SUBSEA APPLICATIONS SubCtech’s Ocean Power product line is tailored to meet the demands of a wide range of applications, including off shore oil and gas operations, marine environmental monitoring, and deep- sea exploration. These solutions are also critical for the eff ective operation of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), subsea vehicles (SUVs), and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). At the heart of this product family lies the PowerPacks series — a highly fl exible, modular Li-Ion battery system engineered for reliability, safety, and long-term performance, according to
