10Deep Sea Infrastructures
IFREMER, IN2P3, INFN
- Design deployment procedures of detector parts
- Study technologies needed (available or not) for
deep-sea operation with the aim of optimizing
them in order to reduce operations costs and time - Design infrastructures for
- detector modules deployment,
- detector modules (junction boxes, instrumented
parts) handling - connection/disconnection, and eventually
maintenance, of deep sea structure - visual inspection of deep sea floor and of
detector parts. - Design/optimize stationary docking stations for
an Hybrid System made by AUV and ROV
11Design of deployment procedures for detector parts
IFREMER, IN2P3 Studies of deployment and recovery procedures, Design of components, costs evaluation.

INFN Coordination of work package, design of specifications for deep-sea infrastructures for detector deployment, maintenance, and recovery
12Power Transmission system
Saclay, INFN, U-Athens
- assess power consumption for each component and
for the full detector - study the power distribution system from the
on-shore laboratory to the single detector
element - define deep-Sea cables specifications
- define deep-Sea connectors specifications
- DC/AC energy transport ?? mixed DC-AC system ??
- define, for each AC/DC power transmission
condition, the characteristics required for the
EOC and for the Connectors and/or Penetrators and
of the associated electronics - study the environmental impact of each power
transmission solution. - AC-DC conversion technologies
- define characteristics of the real-time control
system required from each AC/DC power
transmission solution - technological limits to the total power
transmission
13Definition of cables and connections

Definition of the electrical power distribution
Saclay Design deep-sea power network
INFN Coordination of work package, design specifications for deep-sea power network
14On-shore Infrastructures
INFN, NESTOR/NOA
- define a conceptual design of the shore station
- define the on-shore power distribution system
- define the characteristics of the data
transmission network needed to distribute data
from the on-shore station to the external
research laboratories - which technologies needed for data sharing ??
- high speed computing for huge data volumes
- GRID ??
- New technologies ??
- .

16Time schedule
17Budget human resources, funds
18WP5 Kick-off meeting outcome
- Start close organization between collaborating
Institutes - Set-up coordination
- Confirm agreement on proposed program of work and
on objectives - Define a short term (3 months) agenda
- existing deep-sea data assessment, definition of
common analysis method, identification of needed
measurements - definition of long-term measurements for final
characterization -
- The work on other tasks need some imput from WP2,
WP3, WP4, WP7, the activity will start in few
months.

20Risks connected to WP5 ?
- Site characteristics study activity (spoiled by
the site selection duty) can be successful for
all quantities that have been already extensively
measured and that do not need a long term,
multi-year and multi-seasonal measurements - Detector deployment/handling tools design are
design dependent but should not create problems - Deep Sea Infrastructure design, as well as power
distribution, cables and connectors selection,
will be based on commercial technology or, at
most, on developments that do not need an out of
the market technological effort - What we promised as deliverables in ANNEX1 can be
reached - Present technologies are already sufficient for
our needs but expensive, our work will be mainly
devoted to simplify all deep-sea operation, to
maximize the operative time, to reduce the
operation costs
21Docking system for AUV-ROV
A 3500m depth ROV design and construction is
already funded (project PEGASO funded with 5.6
Meuro by the Regione Siciliana) and under
realization by INFN and INGV (P.I.).
How many docking stations ? Where to place them ?
Which kind of connectors ? Which are AUV/ROV
critical parts ? How to improve their reliability
? How to control them ?
