POWER CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SUBSEA EQUIPMENT

DRIVE August 22, 2024
Source
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to receive input data, determine available power from an intermittent power source based on the input data, determine power demand of subsea equipment based on the input data, operate a switch to enable power flow from the intermittent power source to the subsea equipment as a primary source of power for the subsea equipment, and operate the switch to enable additional power flow from a steady power source to the subsea equipment in response to determining that the available power is less than the power demand. The intermittent power source comprises a wind turbine, a solar cell, a marine power system, or any combination thereof, and the steady power source comprises a generator, a power storage, grid power, or any combination thereof.
