Verlume is a leader in intelligent energy management and storage technology, providing battery systems for harsh environments.
Founded in 2013, the company uses its core technologies of intelligent energy management and storage to enable clean, resilient and integrated energy systems. Offering a suite of products and services across the underwater, offshore and onshore sectors, Verlume helps clients to reduce carbon footprint and decarbonise operations.
During this site visit you will be able to see the integration testing that is ongoing for the Renewables for Subsea Power (RSP) project.
Recognising the challenge of renewable energy intermittency and energy security needs for offshore operations, the RSP project has been developed by partners in the UKCS to combine Mocean Energy’s Blue X wave energy converter and Verlume’s Halo seabed battery energy storage system, to deliver low carbon power and communication with subsea infrastructure such as subsea production control systems and residential ROVs and AUVs.
The project takes a phased approach:
Transport: Verlume operations facility has a car park, where reverse parking is observed. The facility can be reached by First Bus X27 and it is also a 15-20 minute walk from Dyce train station.
Other details: No PPE is required as there will be no operations ongoing. Please advise if there are any access requirements.
Floating Wind Solutions Conference & Exhibition 2023 (in-person event) will showcase the many capabilities of the established Global Offshore Supply Chain and create a platform for bridging Supply and Demand while facilitating development of this industry. Floating Wind Solutions’ mission is to utilize this platform to bring together the many critical players within the Wind and Offshore industries enabling accelerated adoption of Floating Wind Energy globally. This premier event’s primary goal is to accelerate the Energy Transition, by focusing on the industrialization and commercialization of Floating Wind Energy. A world-class Advisory Board is being assembled and will ensure that the program will be extremely focused on the principles of this mission.
SUT is happy to be the Learned Society Patron for this event.

Speaker: Neil Douglas, Director, Viper Innovations Ltd
Overview
This presentation discusses the fundamental processes that occur when sea water comes into contact with a copper conductor of an electrical cable or umbilical. Whilst the science presented is easily understood, the results are surprising and generally not appreciated in the subsea industry. An Insulation Monitoring Device (IMD) is normally mandated for detecting a failure of the cable insulation and thus water ingress. However, the use of IMDs can have a detrimental effect on the copper conductor during fault conditions. We also look at what happens when a similarly wetted cable with two or more insulation faults is energised with the typical ‘surface to subsea’ electrical supply. Hydrogen has long been considered to be the root cause of failure mechanisms that result in low insulation resistance. A new hypothesis argues that the hydrogen gas is actually an indicator of the presence of a failure in the insulation material. The presentation will prove through theory and tests that failure of insulation resistance in a sea water environment will lead to serious and potentially catastrophic damage of the copper conductors. Finally, we will look at how a proven technology, V-LIFE, can be used to increase the insulation resistance without the need for any subsea intervention.
Speaker Bio
Neil Douglas has been in the Subsea Controls Industry for over 35 years, the majority of which were spent with what is now Baker Hughes. In 2007, along with co-director Max Nodder, he established Viper Innovations, a company that specialises in technology development and integrity management of subsea controls and electrical distribution equipment. Neil holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical and electronic engineering and a Masters in Subsea Engineering.

Ocean mineral and hydrocarbon deposits are major resources to ensure a sustainable industrial development in the future. In order to provide an open platform for the advancement of global marine resources exploration and development technology, the 11th International SUT (China) Technical Conference will be held in Qingdao, China, from October 28 to 31, 2022. We would like to extend our warmest invitation to experts and scholars from home and abroad engaged in scientific research, education, production, application and other disciplines to discuss the development of underwater technology, engineering equipment and related industrial topics.
Founded in 1966 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) is the most influential academic organization in the world of underwater engineering, and is a multidisciplinary society that brings together institutions and individuals concerned with underwater technology, marine science and engineering. The annual SUT (China) Technical Conference was initiated by SUT China Branch in 2012 and 10 such events have already been held successfully in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Qingdao, Beijing, Haikou, Zhoushan Changsha and Dalian. These events have been highly recognized by both the academia and industry.
With the theme of “Ship and Ocean Engineering”, this conference will invite distinguished experts and scholars from dozens of universities, research institutes and enterprises in the field of marine engineering around the world to participate and to discuss new ideas, research findings, resource development, technology utilization, etc. Specifically, in order to expand the scope of SUT China and its influence, this conference will specially devote sub-forums for the new topics of “Underwater Survey and Communication”.
Founded in 1953, the host China University of Petroleum (East China) is a national key university affiliated to the Ministry of Education. Honored as “the cradle of petroleum talents”, it has produced a large number of key personnel for the development of petroleum and petrochemical industry, including more than 30 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering. Now, the university is striving to be “a world-class university distinctive in its specialization of the energy disciplines”.
The host city Qingdao, located in the southeast part of Shandong Province, is a beautiful seaside city with fresh air and amazing sea view. There are beautiful islands, winding coastline, and ancient buildings whose red-roofs are held in the embrace of verdant trees. Summer is not too hot and winter is not too cold. Qingdao is well known in China for its seafood, which attracts a large number of tourists from home and abroad, and also the world famous Tsingtao beer can be enjoyed at its freshest here.
