Abstract :
Electrical power on offshore oil platforms is normally generated by gas turbines installed on board. Preliminary feasibility studies indicate that interconnecting these oil installations with wind farms can reduce the fuel consumption with significant environmental and financial benefits. The paper presents a sensitivity analysis of the voltage and frequency variations for typical transients on an oil platform interconnected to a wind farm. The system dynamics are calculated by running multiple simulations batches on a model developed in PSCAD. Results obtained can be a valuable aid for further studies, as they can identify in advance the parameters that are most important, and that should be modeled more accurately.
