2. SYSTEM DATA
2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The power generation systems are designed to operate under normal conditions,
as two independent, non-linked systems.
During normal operation, the ship-side Diesel Generator G-F1102 or Turbo
Alternators G-F1101A, G-F1101B will supply the Vessel’s load and either Alstom
Gas Turbine Generators, G-T1110, G-T1120 will supply the Topsides load.
The Topsides main power generation (supplied by two duel fuel Alstom Tornado
Gas Turbines), each of approx. 5.45 MW (gas fuel) / 8245kVA; 1800 rpm, 6600
volts; 60 Hz; 595.96 amp.
The generators feed via circuit breakers onto the main H.V.switchboard S-T4101
(located at the LER), from which the LV distribution is supplied along with various
high voltage drives.
For safety purposes whilst commissioning of the ‘Power Generation System’ is
underway, the following circuit breakers located within the H.V.switchboard, No’s.
S-T4101/A6, S-T4101/A4, S-T4101/B4, S-T4101/B5 and S-T4101/B6 shall be
racked out and isolated under the permit to work:
For the purpose of the ‘Power Generation’ test procedure, two 2.5MVA load
banks (60Hz, 440V, 3 phase 0.8Pf) resistive and reactive shall be connected to
the topsides low voltage distribution, via transformers T-T4151A (2500KVA) & T-
T4151B (2500KVA), located at the LER module 13.
The load banks shall be connected directly to the LV side of the aforementioned
transformers. Aggreko units are delivered fully tested as individual units, the
intention of testing on site is to prove their operability as parallel units on the
main power system.

The Gas Turbines are dual fuel machines, which may either run on fuel gas from
the FPSO topsides or on diesel stored on the vessel. The primary fuel is fuel gas
as diesel is used only during start-up or shutdown conditions. Changeover of
fuels and running the turbines on fuel gas can only be tested offshore.
