Imenco Future Technologies, a provider of advanced technologies for the maritime industry, has joined C-Power's Partner Engagement and Co-development (PEC) Program as a collaboration partner and will participate in the upcoming 18-month field test of C-Power's SeaRAY autonomous offshore power system (AOPS).
Imenco Future Technologies' maritime solutions include subsea cameras and surveillance systems, AI-based computer vision, wireless underwater communications, and leak-detection systems. The company will work with C-Power to examine data from the SeaRAY AOPS and the assets it supports during the field test to determine potential applications for the technology.
During the deployment, C-Power plans to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the SeaRAY's capabilities simultaneously supporting surface and subsurface mobile and static assets in the ocean with power and data communications. PEC Program collaboration partners will be granted exclusive access to real-time data, reports, and insights throughout the SeaRAY demonstration, and they will provide feedback to improve the system's usability for prospective use cases.
"Imenco Future Technologies is on the cutting-edge providing advanced subsea technologies that could unlock tremendous growth in the ocean economy, with the support of a reliable source of power and data communications like the SeaRAY AOPS," said C-Power CEO Reenst Lesemann. "We look forward to partnering to explore how the SeaRAY can create new opportunities for Imenco Future Technologies to expand their reach and drive industry innovation."
"The blue economy demands innovative solutions that can reliably deliver power and data to remote locations beyond the reach of traditional cabled infrastructure," said Paul Slorach, chief technology officer at Imenco Future Technologies. "The SeaRAY AOPS demonstration represents a significant leap forward in this space, unlocking new possibilities for our visual and acoustic systems that would otherwise remain out of reach. We're thrilled to join the prestigious list of companies involved in the PEC Program and look forward to a successful, collaborative demonstration program with C-Power."
Imenco Future Technologies is one of more than 20 members of C-Power's PEC Program. Members range in engagement levels, including collaboration partners and co-demonstration partners.
The SeaRAY field test is being conducted in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to advance the next generation of AOPS technology, expanding its use cases and proving long-duration survivability and reliability in the harsh ocean environment. The next-gen system has been developed under a $6 million program co-sponsored by the DOE, C-Power, and several PEC program participants.
A C-Power AOPS is a fully integrated system providing in-situ power, energy storage, and real-time data and communications support for offshore applications, including data-gathering equipment, robotic systems such as autonomous underwater vehicles, operating equipment, and uncrewed surface vessels. The SeaRAY AOPS deployed during the field test will showcase advancements over prior generations of SeaRAY systems, including deep-water mooring capabilities, satellite communications, more generating capacity, increased transportability, improved maintenance and operations, and more efficient manufacturing.
