Impressed Current Cathodic Protection System
The Impressed Current Cathodic Protection system is designed to protect submerged metallic structures and naval vessel hulls against electrochemical corrosion. The control system monitors hull potential and automatically regulates impressed current to maintain the required protection level as seawater and operating conditions change. The system architecture also incorporates shaft-grounding functionality and low-signature control for naval applications where controlled electrical behaviour is important alongside corrosion protection.

Fuel-Cell AIP Power Control Unit
Power-conditioning unit that regulates variable fuel-cell DC output for integration with submarine electrical systems.
Fuel-Cell AIP Power Control Unit
The Power Control Unit is intended for fuel-cell-based submarine Air Independent Propulsion systems, where the electrical output of the fuel-cell stack varies with operating and load conditions. The unit conditions the incoming DC power and regulates it to a controlled DC output suitable for the submarine electrical architecture. This supports stable power delivery to the onboard DC bus while accommodating variation in fuel-cell output and changing electrical demand.
