What do we offer today? • Traditionally, power and communications have been distributed in a daisy chain manner (multidrop) • Our industry is improving, through joint workgroups like IWIS, SIIS, and MDIS • Communication distribution has evolved through the introduction of fiber optics (FO). • “Smart” power distribution is still in its early stages and several subsea vendors are working on improvements • An improvement is the introduction of remote-controlled subsea power Switches 4 SUBSEA SYSTEMS
What can we offer tomorrow? • Systems that can cope with increased power demands due to smarter instruments (up to 500 W/SCM) • Enough power to also control external equipment such as AUVs, geo observatory stations, etc. • Use field-proven high-voltage technology for distribution 5 SUBSEA SYSTEMS
