Multi-Port Energy Router Using Intelligent Transformers (MERIT)

Nearly 1,500 oil and gas (O&G) rigs are located offshore across the globe, the largest share of which are in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The recent trend in O&G industry is to install the subsea processing loads on the seabed for reducing the required space on the platform or even removing the platform altogether. The subsea processes (or subsea factory) include gas compression, boosting, water injection, and separation.

Resistive Superconducting Fault current limiter integrated with Hybrid DC Circuit Breakers for HVDC System Protection

High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system in the subsea industry is being considered as an efficient power transmission solution as the number of power conductors and the reactive power consumption are minimal. However, one of the key challenges in HVDC transmission systems lies in the lack of reliability against short circuit faults. Serious faults can generate surge currents more than one hundred times the normal operating currents. These faults can result in damage to expensive equipment if circuit breakers (CBs) are not fast enough and rated for such a high level of faults.
