5. POWER SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION SECTION

The power supply distribution section shall include conditioning circuits and electrical protections
necessary to distribute the incoming UPS power supplies to all the EPU equipment.

The functionalities of this section shall be:

• to manage the redundancy and provide bump-less changeover between the dual UPS supplies
as described in 18030.SSE.STA.FUN – “Functional Specification – Subsea Control System”;
• to distribute the AC power supply to all subsea power supply modules via MCB providing
overload protection and fault to earth protection;
• to provide internal DC power supply to feed the EPU auxiliary utilities, data network devices if
any, EPU control logic if any, and surface modems (if the modem unit is included within the EPU)
by means of dual redundant DC power supply units. Each DC power supply unit shall be
indipendentely capable of sustaining the entire EPU DC load and shall provide a status output for
local and remote signalling of occurring fault.

The following devices shall be mounted on the EPU front panel to provide local indication of the main
parameters of the power supply distribution section:

• digital indication of RMS current and voltage for each incoming UPS line with 1V resolution or
better;
• lamps signalling incoming supplies overvoltage trip (one per each incoming power supply from
the UPS);
• lamps signalling internal AC distribution trip due to overload;
• lamps signalling fault to earth trip;
• lamps signalling DC power supply unit trip (one per each DC power supply unit).

In addition a pad lockable isolator switch shall be mounted on the EPU front panel for each UPS power
supply line.

The following parameters shall be available for being monitored at the remote station:

• voltage and current readings for each UPS supply line;

• all trip alarms.

Voltage and current monitoring transducers shall al provide 4-20 mA output signal and they shall all have
accuracy not worse than +/- 1% of full scale.

Reset of all trip conditions shall be manual, locally on the device detecting the cause.

6. SUBSEA POWER SUPPLY MODULES

The SCM shall be powered by subsea power output supply modules installed within the EPU. Each
subsea power supply module shall power only one channel of the pair feeding the SCM(s).
Each module shall be sized to supply sufficient power to the required loads (refer to “Data Sheet –
Electrical Power Unit” for details such as quantity of SCMs to be fed by the same power supply cable pair
within the umbilical system).

Each module shall incorporate a pad lockable incoming isolator and a double wound in-line transformer
together with circuit breakers within the primary circuit: the output voltage of the transformer shall be
adjustable and shall be kept within the acceptable limits of the umbilical cable rating.

Each module shall incorporate a line insulation monitoring system acting as a safety device monitoring
the resistance between the relevant umbilical cable cores and ground to detect a break down in
insulation. The system shall have two configurable thresholds (Low and Low Low values of insulation
resistance) so that if the insulation resistance falls below the lowest threshold, power is automatically cut-
off from the primary circuit of the in-line transformer.
Both Low and Low Low alarm conditions shall be indicated locally at the EPU front panel as well as
measured insulation resistance.

The subsea power output supply shall be able to be switched on and off by means of lockable isolator.
The following shall also be included in each module:

• local indication, visible from the front side of the EPU, of output current, output voltage, output
frequency and output power;
• over voltage and over current protections with dedicated lamps visible from the front side of the
EPU for local indication of the relevant fault conditions.

The energy left in the umbilical power supply cable after power is cut off shall be automatically discharged
into a resistive circuit included in the module.

The following parameters shall be available, for each subsea power supply module, at the remote station:

• insulation resistance measured by the line insulation monitoring system;

• line insulation Low and Low Low alarms;
• output voltage, output current, output frequency and output power;
• overvoltage and overcurrent faults.

Voltage and current monitoring transducers shall all provide 4-20 mA output signal and they shall all have
accuracy not worse than +/- 1% of full scale.

7. MODEM UNIT

This section applies only in the event the EPU is required to integrate components and functionalities of
the modem unit.

The communication link between the surface modems (housed within the modem unit) and subsea
modems (housed within the SEMs) shall be based on CONTRACTOR’s proprietary design using a multi-
frequency signal link or a fiber optic link.

The subsea communication protocol shall be implemented to provide the following:

• Cyclic Redundancy Code check to detect errors on transmitted messages.

• Verification of commands before execution.
• Time out to receive and transmit.
•
-6
BER performance design goal of < 1x10

Surface modems shall have the capacity to communicate to a network of subsea modems as specified in
“Data Sheet – Electrical Power Unit” and shall communicate with the logic processing equipment of the
remote monitoring station over dual redundant Ethernet link.

The following modem unit parameters shall be monitored by the remote monitoring station:

• input voltages and input current for each surface modem;

• signal level, attenuation and squelch for each subsea communication channel;
• quantities of send and received messages (including bad messages) for each subsea
communication channel.

Each modem unit shall feature communication ports for connecting the PESU to perform testing activities,
monitor subsea communication and carry out maintenance operations.
