SEA TC Developing an underwater energy transfer system suitable for MRE

The power transfer system for a submerged MRE turbine comprises a set of electrical power components with a transformer, integrated into a watertight caisson, and an underwater connector.

The SeaTC project aims to develop a technological solution capable of industrial-scale production, based on an underwater electric connection with a dual function – step-up function and contactless connection – suitable for MRE conditions and wind and wave turbine unitary power.

This new system, optimised for the marine environment and MRE environmental conditions, is intended to reduce connection/disconnection costs and increase weather windows.
