“…On the other hand, the harder-to-recover oil and gas reserves and the ever-increasing global demand for oil and gas supply are intensifying the need to deploy technologies for accessing deepsea and remote petroleum resources (IEA 2009;Craig and Islam 2010). Subsea electrification is seen as a key enabler and an integral part of the processing and control of deepwater oil and gas production.…”

Subsea processing has been increasingly accepted by the offshore oil and gas industry as a solution to boost production and reduce cost. Accordingly, the subsea power demand is growing to support various processing loads, including pumps and compressors. Depending on the application, the power rating of a field ranges from tens of kilowatts to tens of megawatts, and the step-out distance ranges from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. Considering the hostile and remote environment, a reliable subsea electrical-power system that is suitable for subsea deployment is clearly desired. This paper presents a modular direct-current electrical-power system that is designed for use in a subsea field with medium or long step-out distance. The proposed system consists of multiple modular converters in the subsea station to achieve the required power-conversion functions. It features high reliability, high flexibility, and reduced installation weight. The system operation and protection are presented, and the performance is verified by a laboratory-scale demonstration.

“…The development of more complex resources in more challenging environments combined with increased use of subsea processing is driving a demand for a highly reliable system for power delivery. Therefore, the electric power transmission and distribution system from a remote onshore utility grid or power generation on floating platform is imperative to secure a reliable production and processing of oil and gas in subsea locations [1][2][3][4]. Typically the transmission power is on the order of tens of megawatts for medium to large oil/gas fields.…”

As the oil and gas discovery and processing is moving towards the remote deepwater areas, the electric power delivery via long step-out to the multiple subsea processing equipment becomes more crucial. The direct current (DC) power transmission and distribution system using modular approach is considered as a competitive system architecture for subsea power delivery. This paper presents a selective operational case-study of a modular dc system, including the subsea cable modeling and its impact on the system operation. The open-circuit fault is analyzed and the protective solution is discussed as well. A scaled-down system demo was built and several selected operation conditions are tested to verify the analysis. The system modeling and study approach can be also used for other power-electronic systems and emerging applications. Index Terms-subsea power, high-voltage dc.
