Subsea variable speed drive successfully tested under water
Zurich, Switzerland, December 14, 2017 - Test simulated harsh water environment to subsea variable speed drive (VSD) and proves reliability of concept as Joint Industry Project team pushes boundaries of traditional product development.The first full scale prototype of a subsea variable speed drive has been successfully tested in a sheltered harbor in Vaasa, Finland, taking the vision of an all-electric subsea processing facility one step closer to reality. A variable speed drive is needed to boost the productivity of processes, improve energy efficiency and cut maintenance costs of
