P61 Offshore Substation and Electrical Equipment
Project Summary:
Floating (Offshore) Substation, electrical, controls and utility equipment
Key Facts:
- 3 modules, each of approximately 500 tons each, complete with switchboards, bus duct, dry transformers, panel boards, lighting transformers, building HVAC systems.
- 13.8kV process switchboard, transformers
- 480kV process switchboard
- Emergency power generation (Diesel)
- Lighting systems
- Telecoms, fire and safety
Client:
Siemens with end client Petrobras (P61 Papa Terra Development Project)
Challenge:
Client required modules for Offshore installation for high voltage and low voltage electrical systems. Overall packaging and integration constraints due to equipment and offshore module weight and volume limitations.
VME Solution:
EPC modularized solution with integration and packaging of electrical equipment into 3 modules, each of approximately 500 tons, housing high and low voltage electrical systems, AC and DC systems, control and protection systems, UPS and battery systems and auxiliary power generation.
This Substation and E House customized design can be applied for most offshore energy solutions such as wind energy and for offshore floating and fixed (jacket or monopile) installations.
