POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS FOR SUMANDAK- PHASE 2 (SUPG-B) DEVELOPMENT PROJECT USING ERACS

A power system analysis determines whether the proposed system upgrades, future
upgrades and present distribution equipment will meet the present and future system
requirements. This analysis includes research and evaluates the different voltage
levels available from utility. Owngeneration maybe considered in some cases. Thus,
the objective of the project is to determine the performances of an electrical power
system for an offshore platform, SUPG-B (Central Processing Platform). This project
comprises of Load Flow Study and Short Circuit Study. The project involves two
major parts, which are modeling and simulations of SUPG-B network for the above
studies. The studies mentioned will be conducted through simulation by using a
power system analysis tool, ERACS. Simulation is required in seeing the real
situations onthe platform and how it will run based on different scenarios. The use of
ERACS helps to improve the simulation process by increasing the speed of
simulation as well as its powerful graphical user interface.
