Abstract

The power supply for a subsea production system is designed according to the subsea control system. Different control system types require different power system designs. However, basically two types of power systems are used: an electrical power system or a hydraulic power system. The power system supplies either electrical or hydraulic power to the subsea equipment: valves and actuators on subsea trees/manifolds, transducers and sensors, SCM, SEM, pumps, motor, etc. The power sources can come from either an onshore factory or from the site. The electrical power system is a typical subsea production system that provides power generation, power distribution, power transmission, and electricity from electric motors. The power is either generated on site or onshore. To ensure continuous production from a subsea field, it is of utmost importance that the subsea system's associated electrical power system be designed adequately. Various organizations have developed many electrical codes and standards that are accepted by industries throughout the world. These codes and standards specify the rules and guidelines for the design and installation of electrical systems.
