Upgrade of Critical Subsea Power Conversion Module for Enhanced Reliability and Compliance

The client faces technical challenges with their existing subsea DCDC power conversion modules, including passing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards as power demands increase, and addressing obsolescence of key components. These issues threaten operational stability, safety, and compliance in challenging subsea conditions, risking system failures and increased maintenance costs.

A large multinational oil and gas company specializing in subsea exploration and production, requiring robust and compliant power systems for underwater operations.

• Redesign and upgrade the power conversion modules to meet advanced EMC standards and industry compliance requirements.
• Replace obsolete components with custom-designed alternatives to ensure system longevity and maintain performance standards.
• Improve thermal management and EMI suppression to pass rigorous environmental and electromagnetic testing phases.
• Extend the operational lifecycle of the subsea modules and enhance reliability in harsh environmental conditions.

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) optimization through advanced filtering solutions
• Custom replacement components designed to eliminate obsolescence issues
• Enhanced thermal management to maintain system stability in extreme temperature conditions
• Robust power conversion with improved efficiency and stability
• Environmental resilience to withstand harsh subsea conditions

• Environmental and electromagnetic testing systems for compliance verification
• Manufacturing systems for custom components
• Existing subsea control and monitoring systems to ensure seamless integration

• System must pass stringent EMC standards for subsea equipment
• Operational lifespan should be extended by at least 20% compared to previous modules
• Maintain thermal and EMI performance within specified limits under high-demand conditions
• System scalability to accommodate future power demands and regulatory changes

The upgraded subsea power conversion modules are expected to significantly enhance system reliability, extend operational lifespan, and ensure compliance with industry standards. These improvements will reduce maintenance costs, improve operational safety, and support the company's ongoing subsea exploration and extraction activities, ultimately boosting efficiency and reducing downtime in challenging environments.
