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
