Learn About Integrating Wind Turbines for FPSO Optimal BESS Sizing using ETAP & PSCAD Co-simulation

Learn About Integrating Wind Turbines for FPSO Optimal BESS Sizing using ETAP & PSCAD Co-simulation

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.

How Nexamp Energy uses ETAP for higher quality and accuracy DC Arc Flash Analysis in BESS

How Nexamp Energy uses ETAP for higher quality and accuracy DC Arc Flash Analysis in BESS

Engineers face unique challenges when calculating DC Arc Flash incident energy for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Battery short circuit current is highly variant, and factors such as battery chemistry, and how the installation arrangement of BESS have significant differences in short circuit behavior. As well, traditional methods of calculating DCAF have been determined to fall short when it comes to BESS. In this demonstration, these variations will be discussed, including PPE considerations. Following this, a demonstration of the Transient DC Arc Flash solution provided by ETAP solutions will be presented. The presentation will show the usefulness of model validation, and the importance of high quality analysis methods to provide better accuracy in DC AF analysis for BESS.

Applying ETAP to Calculate, Analyze and Install BESS in the Vietnam Power System

Applying ETAP to Calculate, Analyze and Install BESS in the Vietnam Power System

This case study presented by Vu Duc Quang, Deputy Director of Training, Research and Development Center, at PECC2 in Vietnam, explains how peaking electricity consumption in North - and high penetration of renewable energy sources in South Vietnam pose great pressure on the grid. PECC2 utilized ETAP to model Vietnam's power system, calculate and analyze power systems scenarios, identify the optimal location and install capacity of Battery Energy Storage Systems, based on the criteria of reducing/avoiding overload of the power grid and peak shaving. This presentation will demonstrate how BESS solutions with capacity and location calculated with ETAP have shown a clear effect in reducing the power system’s overload.
