For the 2010 Conference, 2 tutorials will be presented:

1 : Electrical Subsea, the new frontier?

This tutorial will describe a new territory for the electrical industry, the O&G subsea development where more and more electrical equipment are required on the sea bed. The following main issues will be presented:

• What is the Subsea industry in the Oil & Gas business?
• What are the ongoing development in the industry:

Subsea multiphase pumping

Subsea compression

Long subsea tie-break

• The way forward beyond the actual developments.

 

2 : IEC 61850: from design to operations

This tutorial will describe an optimal process for designing, setting-up, commissioning and operating an Electrical Network Monitoring and Control System using the IEC 61850 communication technology. Focus will be put on :  

• IEC 61850 based system compared with conventional communication technology, what does it change from a design-process point of view?

• Specification of an IEC 61850 based ENMCS:

Which architecture?

Managing multi-vendor systems?

How to integrate equipments not covered by the standard?

• How to migrate from or extend an existing installation ?

• Integrating multi-protocols environments.

• Designing communication with DCS.

• Use of SCL language and associated files for configuration and design of the system.

• Skill management for full design process and operations.

• Return of experience on executed projects.
