Power Transmission in Offshore Environment

Catalog description

This course identifies key components of infrastructure needed to transport offshore-generate power to onshore locations. These components include offshore cables (HVDC and HVAC), offshore substations, electrical transformers, and power controlling and protection devices. The course also examines monitoring practices and maintenance needs associated with each of these components and identifies some of their common failures and related corrective/preventative maintenance strategies. The economics of offshore power generation and transportation are briefly discussed. Prerequisite: EGR 282. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours per week. Instructional Support Fee applies.
