Subsea Power Distribution Systems

Subsea power distribution systems are enablers for long-distance subsea tie-back developments and energy intensive processing activities on the seafloor. Providing power to subsea compressors, pumps and flowline heating, they are key to make viable and productive projects in deepwater, remote or harsh climate scenarios.

Reduced Costs and Carbon Emissions

Aker Solutions supplies complete power distribution systems for subsea processing and boosting installations. Our services include front-end studies, detailed engineering, testing and delivery. We offer onshore and offshore assistance, as well as commissioning and ad-hoc services. We also provide training of operators.

Our distribution systems can be used in shallow or deep waters, as well as at greenfield or brownfield developments. They reduce power costs, allow greater energy efficiency, curb consumption and improve a field’s carbon dioxide emissions profile. The systems can supply power to subsea installations in waters down to 3,000 meters deep, and as far as 200 kilometers from land. The boost they enable allows tie-backs much farther from land or existing infrastructure than with other technologies.

By integrating third party power electronics and electrical systems into marinized modules, our systems gives the best and most cost-effective solutions for powering subsea processing, boosting, transformers, variable speed drives, switchgear, uninterrupted power supply modules and flowline heating.
