Positive outlook and pipeline in our collaboration with C-Power! 🌊🔋
Last week, Verlume team members travelled to the USA to visit C-Power in Corvallis, Oregon to mark the start of a new project using our Halo systems as a primary component within C-Power’s Autonomous Offshore Power System (AOPS).
We have been working collaboratively with C-Power, a world-leading energy system developer, since 2020, with this now being the 2nd AOPS project that Verlume and C-Power have worked on together.
As an enabling technology, our subsea-based Halo energy storage system contributes to the AOPS — a low-cost and low-carbon solution with C-Power’s SeaRAY wave power system producing the power, connected to the Halo system on the seabed to ensure a continuous, reliable power output, as well as the payload interfaces for power and communications.
On the seabed, the ambient seawater provides a natural cooling system for the Halo and its batteries which in turn maximises the life cycle of the system and means that there is no requirement for maintenance, as there would be if a cooling system was in place.
C-Power's commercial AOPS technology has been in operation at the US Navy’s Wave Energy Test Site in Hawaii and we are pleased to continue the collaboration with C-Power to provide further Halo systems as part of a client order to continue decarbonising offshore operations!
