The transition towards sustainable energy sources is driving innovative solutions in the offshore oil and gas industry. The presentation delves into the integration of a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) into an existing Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel to reduce carbon emissions. The technical and operational challenges of this integration are discussed, including load balancing, intermittency of wind energy, transformer energization, motor starting, protection coordination, and maintaining operational reliability. The study utilizes simulations with tools like HOMERPRO, ETAP, and PSCAD to assess the technical feasibility of integrating the WTG and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) into the FPSO power system. Various studies, including load flow, short circuit, motor acceleration, transient stability, voltage ride through, harmonic analysis, protection coordination, and transformer energization are conducted to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system. There is great potential for reducing the operational carbon footprint of FPSOs by incorporating renewable energy sources and using software simulations to address the complexities and considerations involved in such integration.
This presentation discusses the Electrical Information Management System (EIMS) in use at Kuwait Oil Company, a power reservation model-based integration solution designed for oil and gas production. The aim was to achieve flexible and configurable approval workflows, integrated with user access management and various notification methods, to optimize operation, enhance visualization, and improve asset management within their complex electrical networks. Their EIMS integrates smart meters with ETAP and GIS, enabling efficient communication, real-time updates, and enhanced reliability of the electrical system. The pilot project includes real-time power monitoring, reduced site visits, expedited workflow, and centralized management of work order processes. The presentation also covers the challenges faced in power reservation planning and the specific ETAP solutions implemented, including NetPM and ETAP eWeb.
