  • SUBSEA VEHICLE WITH FLOODED CONNECTOR DETECTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240241282
    Abstract: Presence of water may be detected in internal circuitry of a subsea vehicle by measuring a change in resistance across two terminals to detect the presence of water using a interlock detection system comprising a plurality of voltage sources, connected to a ground, a predetermined set of connectors; an electrical conduit operatively connected to the predetermined set of connectors; an interlock detector comprising an analog circuit and an interlock electrical conduit as well as a first terminal and a second terminal; and a control system. Resistance is measured across the first and second terminals to detect presence of water proximate the first and second terminals, electrical faults, or lack of electrical faults where the measured resistance will equate to a predetermined voltage to be interpreted by the control system.

  • Photovolatic powered cathodic protection probe
    Patent number: 10270386
    Abstract: A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) compatible photovoltaic powered cathodic protection (CP) probe can measure voltage potential of subsea structures. In an embodiment, the CP's meter is integrated and able to send CP data topside. The CP meter's compact display module also houses the telemetry board to send CP readings, via an ROV serial, topside. The CP probe does not require a battery and can be used standalone or connected through an ROV to topside logging and display. Further, the CP probe can monitor a plurality of CP voltages and other conditions such as an electrical field gradient.
