???? 據OE網站3月5日報道,總部位于英國的波浪能技術公司Mocean Energy和海底電池開發商EC-OG與Chrysaor、Modus、OGTC和貝克休斯合作,為海底設備運行的波浪能可再生能源系統的演示提供資金。這些公司已經向該計劃投資了160萬英鎊。
????該項目將演示如何利用波浪發電與水下儲能相結合,以經濟有效地降低為水下油氣生產設備和自主水下航行器提供電力的碳足跡。
????OGTC提供的贈款資金與項目合作伙伴的財務和實物捐助相一致。
????該演示系統將于2021年7月和8月在位于阿伯丁的EC-OG設施進行陸上測試,并計劃在今年晚些時候在海上測試。
????該項目延續了早在2020年進行的一項研究,該研究由OGTC提供部分資金,由合作伙伴承擔。該研究確定了該設計理念的環境效益,并將用于即將到來的演示項目。
????Mocean Energy董事總經理Cameron McNatt在描述該項目時表示,油氣業務的脫碳對能源轉型至關重要。我們的技術利用海浪產生的可再生能源為水下設備提供低碳能源,包括自動水下航行器(AUV)的回接和未來船隊。在這個項目中,我們將在陸上條件下演示wave設備如何向水下設備提供電力和通信。

????Wave Energy Device to Power Subsea Oil & Gas Equipment. Tests Start in July
????UK-based wave power technology company Mocean Energy, and subsea battery developer EC-OG have teamed up with Chrysaor, Modus, OGTC, and Baker Hughes to fund the demonstration of a wave-powered renewable energy system for running subsea equipment. The companies have invested £1.6 million into the program.
????The program will demonstrate how wave power coupled with subsea energy storage can be used to cost-effectively lower the carbon footprint of providing power to subsea oil and gas production equipment and autonomous underwater vehicles.
????Grant funding provided by OGTC has been matched by financial and in-kind contributions from the project partners.
????The demonstrator will be tested onshore at EC-OG’s facility in Aberdeen in July and August 2021, with ambitions to test the system at sea later in the year.
????The program follows on from an earlier study in 2020, part-funded by OGTC, undertaken by the partners. The study established the environmental benefits of the design concept that will be used for the upcoming demonstration program.
????Describing the project, Cameron McNatt, Mocean Energy’s managing director said: "The decarbonization of oil and gas operations is essential for the energy transition. Our technology uses renewable energy from waves to deliver low carbon power for subsea equipment, including tiebacks and future fleets of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV’s). In this program, we will demonstrate – in onshore conditions – how our wave device will deliver power and communication to subsea equipment.”
