Thermal Energy Recovery System
The subsea remote power generation system, called TERS, is available for greenfield and brownfield projects.
Empower wireless and remote subsea systems with the ability to recharge subsea batteries on the seabed.
TERS is a modular design. Each ring forms an individual building block allowing users to create a scalable, solid state subsea power supply
TERS has already been deployed in the North Sea and can be retrofitted onto existing subsea facilities,
opening the door to retro-digitalisation of existing subsea production systems.
BENEFITS
OPERATORS
- Reduce total cost of ownership of SURF infrastructure by offering redundancy to single point failure
- Secondary power supply allows safer and more controlled shutdown or continuity of production in the event of primary power supply interuption
- Enable new field development concept 'Remote Electrical'
SUPPLY CHAIN
- New brownfield opportunities for digitalisation of existing subsea infrastructure
- Modular and scalable design means a bespoke power solution can be provided from highly standardised and fully reusable components.
- Greatly reduced lead time and cost when compared to alternatives
MER
- Reduce dependency on aging topside facilities by offering a versatile standalone power supply
- Increase economic viability of marginal projects by offering a reusable hardware solution in place of a highly bespoke cable connection
- Reduce the capital requirement of marginal fields
GREENFIELD - Hot Rings
TERS is available as a greenfield solution called Hot Rings. Hot Rings are installed onto subsea production jumpers onshore and the jumper is mobilised and installed offshore as normal. Any number of Hot Rings can be installed on a subsea jumper providing scalability and redundancy.
BROWNFIELD - Talon
TERS is also available as a brownfield solution called Talon. Talon can be retrofitted to subsea production jumpers by diver or ROV to provide a stable low voltage DC power supply for any instrument. Talon opens the door to retro-digitalise existing subsea production systems.
