Deepwater Thalassa recently entered service with our AKA Hybrid drilling system. "The rig features Transocean's patented dual-activity drilling technology, hoisting capacity, Transocean's designed and patented Active Power Compensation hybrid".
AKA, in collaboration with their Hybrid Technology partner, XeroPoint Energy, was contracted by Foss Maritime to provide the propulsion and control systems for the world’s first hybrid tug the Carolyn Dorothy. The project incorporated a combination of diesel engines, electric motors, generators and electrical storage.
AKA was sub-contracted by Siemens Oil and Gas to provide our Advanced Generator Protection system, the 125VDC UPS and Monitoring System for the 11kV Main Switchboard, Thruster PLC, CAT Panels,and SIPLINK controllers, essentially handling the entire Siemens electrical work scope on the Sedco 706.
AKA completely changed out and upgraded the control section of the MV SWBD including addition of the Advanced Generator Protection system, AKA’s InnoVision Supervisory PLC and HMI, upgraded speed control application and expanded protection relay functions (including Quik Trip). Logo.
