ABB's subsea power system - a game changer for subsea?

摘要

Power and automation company ABB has launched a subsea power system which enables power voltage to be converted on the seabed, and provide subsea circuit protection. It could open the door to many subsea development projects. This is not the first time subsea transformers have been available, but until now, the only subsea transformers available have been relatively simple 'step down' equipment which converts voltage from one level to another. The subsea power system can do much more, and so supports more flexibility in planning and operating the field.
