0116750HoweThis award to University of Washington will provide support for the design and prototype of a 100 kW parallel DC power system for cabled, undersea observatories for oceanographic research. The design is intended to support a "plate-scale" system such as the NEPTUNE network of remote, interactive natural laboratories that is being planned for the seafloor region called the Juan de Fuca Plate, offshore of the Pacific Northwest. NEPTUNE is being designed to include thirty or more discrete observatory nodes, each capable of hosting multiple observing systems, along a system involving 3000 kilometers or more of fiber optic cable for power and communications. The power system addressed here will be designed in parallel with communications systems presently under development at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, with coordination provided by the NEPTUNE System Engineering Team. Wet testing is anticipated to take place in two submarine installations, one in California and one in Canada, in Spring 2004. ***

然而，授予华盛顿大学的这一奖项将为用于海洋研究的电缆海底观测站的100千瓦并联直流电源系统的设计和原型提供支持。该设计旨在支持“板块规模”的系统，例如海王星远程互动自然实验室网络，该网络正计划在太平洋西北部近海的名为胡安德·富卡板块的海底区域进行。海王星被设计成包括30个或更多离散的天文台节点，每个节点能够托管多个观测系统，沿着一个涉及3000公里或更长的电力和通信光缆的系统。这里提到的电力系统将与伍兹霍尔海洋研究所目前正在开发的通信系统并行设计，由海王星系统工程小组提供协调。湿测试预计将于2004年春季在两个潜艇设施中进行，一个在加利福尼亚州，一个在加拿大。***
