Oceanographers have relied on CTD devices for decades, as differences in salinity, temperature and depth are recognized as the primary parameters distinguishing water masses.

Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) are an essential navigational aid used in subsea operations where GPS is unavailable. DVLs use the Doppler effect to provide estimates of velocity relative to the seabed, preventing errors from accumulating within a vehicle’s navigation system.

Lithium-ion batteries are used for a wide range of activities and applications in the oceans such as to power vehicles, sensors, and energy storage systems, as well as to electrify oil and gas production. Kiel-based SubCtech has solutions for a sustainable, reliable, and safe energy supply with Li-Ion batteries.

The REBIKOFF SYSTEM consists of a 17-meter catamaran, the ADA REBIKOFF, and the LULA1000 submersible (depth rated to 1,000 meters for a crew of up to 3).

A new project funded by Innovate UK will see Aberdeen technology developer HonuWorx and the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult partner to develop an exciting new submersible mothership designed to make robotics a sustainable and cost-effective solution for offshore wind farms.

There is a growing market demand for an enabling technology which is the nerve center of a reliable and resilient electrical grid: intelligent battery storage. Responsible for augmenting output from resources such as wind and solar, helping to reduce the environmental impact of power generation and improving grid efficiency, battery storage is experiencing rapid growth on a worldwide scale.
