POWERMATE is a development and qualification project for a totally new concept of underwater wet-mate electrical connection for transmission of high power produced by particular systems of offshore renewable energy, while reducing costs and improving reliability compared to current solutions.
Objectives:
- Development of the connector and tool adapted to the needs of Marine Renewable Energy (medium / high voltage)
- Development of installation procedures
- Validation of the concept by hydrostatic testing, electrical testing and by pool tests in the sea.
