High-Performance Battery Engineering for Undersea Applications

Increasing demands are being placed on battery power for undersea applications. Applications include vehicle propulsion, operating portable equipment such cameras and measurement devices and operating installed equipment such as telecoms infrastructure. Factors such as longer missions and higher peak-energy demands from more sophisticated and intelligent systems call for greater energy density, improved reliability, greater safety and high resilience to the elevated pressures experienced in undersea environments.

Overall, the design of the battery system must ensure high levels of reliability and safety so as to minimise danger to personnel and disadvantages such as property loss, down time, mission failure and high maintenance costs resulting from battery failures in the field.
