Atlantique Offshore Energy Unveils Hydrogen-Powered Offshore Substation

Atlantique Offshore Energy has launched the commercialization of what the French company calls a solution to support the decarbonization of electrical offshore substations.

Atlantique Offshore Energy, Chantiers de l’Atlantique Business Unit dedicated to Marine Energy, has developed an integrated hydrogen-powered emergency supply solution, combining the latest fuel cell technologies with its offshore system designer and manufacturer experience.

This concept, named SeeOs+H2, replaces conventional back-up generators powered by diesel, and secures 18 hours of autonomy in emergency mode for the platform safety utilities as required by the Standard, with no CO2 nor NOx emissions, the company said.

The system integrates its own electrolyser and a complete supervision, monitoring, and control system.

”We are really happy to contribute to the decarbonization of our customers’ operations and of the offshore wind sector through this kind of pioneering proposal,” said Frederic Grizaud, Director of Atlantique Offshore Energy.

”This project reflects our capacity to innovate and to implement ready-to-market solutions based on the lessons learned from successful execution of numerous Offshore Substations.”
