The present invention relates to a power collection system for subsea collection of power from offshore power generation units, the system including: a set of power extender modules being independently arrangeable subsea in a local grid and each being connectable with a respective one of a set of offshore power generation units to collect electrical power from the respective offshore power generation units, the set of power extender modules being configured to be electrically series connected in the local grid being connectable with a power consumer.

Power collection system for subsea transfer of power from offshore power generation units

A switching device is provided for disconnecting or connecting an electric machine, a converter or a plurality of electrical loads supplied with AC power from a power supply and controlled by a control unit. The switching device includes a current sink and at least one mechanical switch in the switching device are arranged in a circuit. The current sink is arranged, upon receipt of a signal, to close and sink the current, and the at least one mechanical switch is arranged to open and break the current on receipt of a signal to open supplied to the electric machine when the current load is at or close to zero. A method and a computer program for carrying out the method are described.

Switching device and system for operating an electric load

A method for monitoring at least one subsea electric machine supplied by a system for electric power transmission. The system has a power supply, a controller and an AC power line connecting the at least one machine with the power supply. The method includes the steps of: receiving at the controller, high speed data from at least one subsea sensor arranged between the subsea side of the AC power line and the at least one subsea electric machine, wherein the high speed data includes measurements of an electrical parameter for the at least one machine; and comparing the one or more measurements to a predetermined value. A system for electric power transmission arranged for operating at least one subsea load or electric machine is also described.
