Underwater Mobile Power Systems

Underwater Mobile Power Systems


ORPC’s autonomous turbine generator unit or ATGU (in development) is a roving subsea power generation module capable of self-propelling, self-deploying and retrieving, and providing a power supply to subsea vehicles and monitoring systems, and performing underwater missions such as heavy lifts, inspections, and robotic operations.
Features:

  • Based on ORPC’s proprietary turbine generator unit (TGU) technology proven in tidal and river applications
  • Scalable power generation from 4 kW to 600 kW
  • Dual mode operations: propulsion and power generation
  • Low profile, advanced design cross-flow turbines
  • Operates underwater with no surface features
  • Encapsulated generator specifically designed for long life in subsea operations
  • Self-deploying, self-retrieving, either tethered to a surface vessel or autonomously using an embedded battery pack
  • Can be docked to multiple mooring and anchoring systems
  • Capable of underwater heavy-lift operations
