Subsea power-distribution for charging unmanned underwater vehicles introduced by Diversified Technologies

BEDFORD, Mass. – Diversified Technologies Inc. in Bedford, Mass., is introducing the PowerMod Subsea MVDC Power Distribution System for subsea power distribution applications.

The power-distribution system features pressurized power conversion modules that measure 18 inches in diameter and operate at depths to 3,500 meters to enable transmission of as much power as one megawatt at medium voltages over thousands of kilometers.

This bi-directional system converts 10 kilovolts DC to 375 volts DC at the seafloor to permit grid or loop configurations with multiple power sources.

The PowerMod Subsea MVDC Power Distribution System is for charging unmanned undersea vehicles and other applications. It can be powered from high voltage onshore generators or from undersea sources such as hydro-thermal or wave power generators at 375 volts, with their voltage up-converted to 10 kilovolts. Modules provide a 90 percent probability of operation for 25 years.
