DNV GL has awarded SuperNode Ltd with a Statement of Feasibility for its Subsea Superconducting Cable System.
Superconducting cables, among other innovative technologies, will play a vital role in connecting the amounts of offshore wind required for decarbonisation.
Achieving the Statement of Feasibility is a very significant step taken by SuperNode with which we are very encouraged. We are excited about further developing and optimising the design.
Eoin Hodge, SuperNode CTO; “The DNVGL Statement of Feasibility for SuperNode’s Subsea Superconducting Cable System was issued to SuperNode this week, a ‘World First’ for a subsea superconducting transmission system.
The Statement of Feasibility is issued subsequent to a detailed technical examination of SuperNode’s technology concept and technology development program by a team of technical experts across DNVGL, the world’s leading marine and energy technology certification, risk and quality assessment body, providing the gold standard in technology development advisory and technology qualification programs.
The next steps for the Engineering team are to develop our scaled prototype in 2021 and continue improving the design of our breakthrough technology.
We are very excited by the opportunity to solve the challenges ahead! “
Claudio Bittencourt Ferreira, BD Director, Renewables Certification, Wave and Tidal, DNV GL; “DNV GL has completed the initial phase of the technology qualification process on the Subsea Superconducting Cable System and has issued a Statement of Feasibility.
The multi-disciplined team of experts developed a technology qualification plan that will guide the future development, reducing risks and uncertainties, improving confidence and enabling faster adoption by the industry. DNVGL looks forward to a continued close co-operation with SuperNode and the next steps in the qualification process.”
