Oil Platform Energy Storage System

What are the applications of offshore energy storage?

This technology can be used in a variety of applications, like power storage for offshore assets, offshore fueling stations for ships, renewable energy storage with offshore wind turbines, or common storage of ammonia for fertilizer plants. How does it work?

How can I store energy directly on the seafloor?

Contact us. With our new subsea energy storage system, based on our membrane-based storage solution for oil and chemicals, you can now store liquid clean energy, such as ammonia or e-methanol, directly on the seafloor.

Can electric energy storage be used for drilling based on electric-chemical generators?

The article outlines development of an electric energy storage system for drilling based on electric-chemical generators. Description and generalization are given for the main objectives for this system when used on drilling rigs isolated within a single pad, whether these are fed from diesel gensets, gas piston power plants, or 6–10 kV HV lines.

What is a hybrid energy storage module?

Based on the research, a generic architecture of the energy storage module is developed, and an engineering prototype is built. The efficiency of using a hybrid energy accumulation design is proven; the design calls for joint use of Li-ion cells and supercapacitors, as well as three-level inverters, to control the storage system.

Which rigs have energy storage systems for onshore drilling?

The energy storage system developed for onshore drilling is among the world’s first ones. As a foreign analog, only the project of the German rig manufacturer Bentec implemented in Oman can be highlighted. In 2017, the container-type 0.9 MW Bentec ESS with a storage capacity of 0.3 MW was put into trial operation on the KCA Deuteg T-94 rig.

Does Maersk use an ESS in offshore oil and gas production?

In 2020, Maersk (Energy and delivers energy storage, 2021) implemented the world’s third project of using an ESS in offshore oil and gas production on a Maersk Intrepid CJ70 jack-up drilling rig, also operating in the North Sea. The total capacity of the rig power unit is 11.6 MW.
