The offshore industry has become more significant in recent years because of the installation of a number of offshore wind farms, As of June 2025, the global installed offshore wind capacity was 85.2GW and could increase to nearly 400 GW by 2032. One of the applications for offshore wind could be to power the electrical systems that are required for oil and gas extraction from subsea, instead of from the gas turbine or diesel engine generators located on the platform. In this presentation, the requirements and challenges of subsea environment, current trends, and use of power electronics for efficient transmission of power from the offshore platform or directly from offshore wing or even from from onshore to the subsea electrical loads. The presentation also addresses how the renewable sources such as offshore wind can be combined with other low emission sources for powering not only the subsea electrical loads, but also for other offshore applications such as production of Hydrogen and for shore power for ships.
