Offshore production platforms, FPSOs, landrigs and MODUs are the amongst most challenging and arduous electrical environments in the world. Harmonic Solutions Oil and Gas (HSOG), a division of Sentinel Power Quality Group FZC specialise in harmonics, PQ and EMI site troubleshooting and consulting for onshore and offshore oil sectors. We also provide passive and active filters (including attenuation of background THDu), common mode voltage mitigation and continuous cycle by cycle PQ monitoring to 30kHz.
Offshore installations often have harmonic voltage distortion (THDu) well above recommended limits. HSOG can mitigate these harmonic voltages and isolate excessive background THDu from effecting downstream equipment.
In addition, PWM VFDs produce ‘common mode voltage’ which, if excessive, is very disruptive and damaging to sensitive and susceptible control and monitoring and other equipment connected to the same ground (e.g. the hull). The accompanying common mode current travels from the VFD to the motor, seeking a ground via the motor bearings, which can be destroyed by micro-arcs of high frequency current. Fixed speed motors on the same ground can be similarly affected. Harmonic voltages, common mode voltage and current present ignition risks on explosionproof motors in hazardous areas in the event of an escape of gas, vapour, condensate et al.
Many drilling rigs and offshore installations are replacing T8 fluorescent lighting with LED lighting. This is not without risk ! LED drivers emit frequencies up to 150kHz and can interfere with sensitive drilling, control and monitoring systems and they, themselves, can be affected by excessive harmonic and common mode voltages.
HSOG recommends detailed PQ and EMI surveys are carried out prior and post the LEDs being selected and installed. HSOG offers assistance with selecting the optimum LEDs to ensure any disturbances are minimal. HSOG can supply appropriate EMI mitigation.
