Enhance efficiency and minimize environmental impact, while reducing surface footprint in space-constrained environments, with innovative power and drive systems
Innovations in Offshore Drilling: Power and Drive Systems
Bluedrive Plus C • Improved reliability and availability • Savings:
• 15% fuel consumption and CO2 emissions • 85% NOx emissions • 30% in space and weight of power system equipment
Enhanced CLOSED RING solution – approved for all DP modes • Improving safety and flexibility for operators • Documented savings:
• 11% fuel consumption • 35% NOx emissions • 18% CO2 emissions • 50% maintenance of diesel engines
Energy Storage: • Boost performance while reducing fuel and maintenance costs • Safety features – maintain position and drilling operations in case of total black-out • Optimizing CAPEX and/or OPEX
• Siemens has a Class approved (DnV & ABS) proven, certified, with vessels in operation and verified solution for a more optimized operation of DP vessels.
• Minimum 2 generators online • Optimized design for loss of only one thruster • Engine overhaul in silent engine rooms • All Siemens equipment designed for Fault Ride Through Testing (DnV, ABS & USCG) • Early design involvement can substantially reduce cable related costs • Fuel savings can be in the range of 2500 – 4000USD per day. • Emissions are dramatically reduced compared to a conventional system • Engine maintenance costs reduced by up to 50% • Running hours reduced by up to 49%
Safety power back-up (8 vessels) Power to maintain position and operation until power is restored, or safely terminate operation despite in case of power loss
Peak Shaving Absorbs load peaks and load fluctuations to reduce the required available power and running engines
Performance boost (6 vessels) Instant power to absorb sudden load changes which reduce ramp time exposed by running engines. Allowing dynamic performance beyond that of combustion engines
Savings OPEX & CAPEX Improving fuel efficiency while also reducing running hours and wear and tear of equipment, provides savings in maintenance, overhauls and downtime. Reduced fuel, emissions taxes. May reduce number or rating of engines and thrusters
Improved environmental footprint Reduces fuel consumption and emissions
