Abstract
Content

A critical component in regional-scale undersea power systems is the medium-voltage converter (MVC). The MVC is a DC-DC converter in the primary network infrastructure that receives a medium-voltage power input from the shore-based power feed equipment (PFE) via the telecom cable, typically at 1-10 KVDC, and provides down-conversion to one or more lower-voltage outputs, typically 300-600 VDC, to feed power to science nodes and instrumentation in the secondary network infrastructure.
