Hitachi Energy supplies world-breaking OceaniQ subsea transformers to OneSubsea for its subsea multiphase compression system
The world''s most powerful subsea transformer is being tested in the Port of Vaasa in Finland and will enable the electrification of subsea equipment using renewable hydropower thus reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, July 11, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Energy has today started testing on the world''s most powerful 24 MVA subsea transformer, which will be supplied to OneSubsea, the subsea technologies, production, and processing systems business of Schlumberger. The tests will involve submerging the 55 tonne subsea transformer into the harbor basin to monitor its thermal behavior and pressure compensation system, as well as ensure its reliability in subsea conditions. The transformers form part of a large contract awarded to Hitachi Energy for the supply of two subsea OceaniQTM transformers, two input transformers, two step-up transformers, and a common step-down distribution transformer. Once tested the subsea transformers will be submerged off the Norwegian coast in waters to a depth of about 850 m and will power the OneSubsea multiphase compression system for the Shell Ormen Lange field in the Norwegian Sea.
