SWIS - ADCP Edition Battery Capacity Requirement Calculator

To use this program, follow these steps:

  1. Distance: Enter the distance between the topside and seabed modem (slant range) in meters.
  2. File Size: Provide the calculated file size (in kilobytes) obtained from the ADCP software.
  3. Number of Transmissions: Specify the number of times you need to transfer per day/week/month.
  4. Interpret Results: The program will recommend the modem, calculate the data rate, transmission power, and various durations based on the inputs.
  5. Transmission Limits: The program imposes certain limits to optimize power consumption.
  6. Battery Capacity: The program will present the estimated battery capacity requirements for your deployment on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

Remember to use the tool as a guidance tool rather than a definitive source, and consider consulting experts and conducting additional analysis for accurate battery capacity estimations.

Disclaimer: The battery capacity calculation tool for SWIS - ADCP edition offers an estimate based on assumptions regarding link speed and power consumption for subsea deployments. However, if the underwater channel conditions differ significantly from typical channels used for these calculations, the assumptions may not be accurate and thus lead to incorrect calculations. The tool should be used as a guide rather than to obtain definitive values. Users are advised to exercise their own judgment, conduct further analysis, and consult experts. The developers and providers of the tool are not liable for any damages or losses resulting from its use or reliance on its calculations.
