STUDY OF HIGH LOAD CURRENT POWER SUPPLY DESIGN FOR LOW FREQUENCY SEABED LOGGING APPLICATION

Low frequency, high load current study is very important for Seabed Logging (SBL) application. SBL is currently an emerging method to find hydrocarbon layer beneath the ocean floor. In SBL, a high current low frequency power supply is needed to assist the transmission process that uses Horizontal Electric Dipole (HED). HED emits electromagnetic signal throughout the sea in the expected area containing hydrocarbon layer. This power supply with the ability to produce high current low frequency output is essential for the transmitter to transmit the signal required to the targeted area and its surrounding, and for the receivers to receive back the signal containing accurate data required. In this project, the processes to design and simulate a power supply with the required output for SBL application is explained in details. At the end of this project, a power supply which has high current and low frequency output is completely designed.
