2.2 GE Subsea Power department and MECON product background

GE has built up a strong organization of competent professionals within subsea power transmission and distribution. Functional Engineering Subsea Power, as the organizational unit is called, is today experienced in design, development, specification and delivery of Subsea Power products and systems. Its home is at Sandvika vest of Oslo and the head count is close to 40 engineers with experience profiles ranging from 3 to 30 years of professional engagement in subsea projects.

We are also proud to mention our substantial capability and flexibility provided by the larger GE organization. Engineering support and electrical power competence is available for us from various GE resource centers around the world. In addition we have several on-going development projects together with the highly skilled electrical specialists at GE Global Research Centers (GRC) in Munich and Niskayuna, US.

· Material engineers expert in high voltage insulation materials and structural materials

· Design engineers proficient in 3-D modeling of power components

· Specialists in finite element analysis for electrical, mechanical, and thermal loads

· Electrical engineers specialized in design and analysis of electrical transmission and distribution systems

· Electrical and mechanical engineers with subsea experience in addition to in-depth know-how within each discipline. These engineers have close contact with a network of GE offshore supervisors working world wide on installation and maintenance of subsea equipment .

We would like to point out the following projects where GE has gained significant experience and know-how with direct relevance to current commitments and plans:

· Troll Subsea Separation – Development of the MECON technology and delivery of the first MECON wet mate connector

· SEPDIS – the Subsea Frequency Converter TQP JIP

· SPC – the Subsea Processing Collaboration JIP where MECON WM was upgraded to its full 36 kV rating

· Subsea Electrical Power Switchgear TQP JIP

· Tyrihans – Delivery of two 4,2MVA Subsea Power Transformers including Insulating Monitoring System and MECON dry mate connectors.

· Ormen Lange LSPS Connection TQP and Pilot recently successful in qualifying the 145 kV MECON DM

· Åsgard MF TQP for MECON WM 12/1800

· Jack & St. Malo – TQP for 3000 m water depth for 5MVA Power Transformer, MECON 36 kV Dry Mate Connector.

· Åsgard Subsea Gas Compression project – delivery of 9 off MECON DM 145/700



Template Rev 00


The know-how is enhanced through a number of in-house development programs related to critical components and products required for subsea power transmission and distribution.

In order to specify, control, and manage Technical Qualification Programs (TQP), the Power Department uses recognized industry standards as well as specially developed GE company procedures. The former includes DNV RP-A203 “Qualification Procedures for New Technology”, which aims at technology for offshore use in general, and API 17N which is developed specifically for subsea production systems.

The GE company procedures are developed specifically for subsea processing systems and include procedures for assessment of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Reliability Cases. The aim of these GE company procedures is to identify gaps and deadlines for closing in order to meet the requirements of the capital value process of a project, which is obliged to keep the technology risk at a comfortable low level.

MECON Products are currently in high demand. The reason is the emphasis on reliability and functionality caused by subsea electrification of primary production equipment.

Prototypes of MECON products were originally produced and qualified for the Troll Pilot project that started operation in 2001.

Still in operation May 2011 on what is now the Troll C Commercial Subsea Separator, these nine years of operational experience have brought the MECON technology rating to a safe TRL7.

For Troll Pilot the prototypes of MECON were over-designed and left room for significant upgrading and simplification of the technology.

Work to implement the findings has been on-going ever since 2001 and has now been completed. The MECON technology now offered to customers is thoroughly reworked and mature, and much less costly to build and install. Most importantly all these improvements have been achieved without changing the inherent superior reliability of the MECON connector.

2.3 MECON Wet Mate Products

The GE MECON wet mate product line consists of MECON WM 36/500 and MECON WM 12/1800. For the MECON Wet Mate, GE has chosen a solution with all three phases in one connector and one conductor for each phase.

The following table shows the features of MECON connectors

Connector design Patented 3-phase design

Connection of the 3-phases

Simultaneous

Interface types Adaptable for many different interfaces based on requirement

External Barrier Metal

Primary insulation Solid insulation

Secondary insulation Dielectric fluid

Connection tool ROV assisted

Accessories Accessories for wet storage protection and post lay down condition monitoring

Applicable Specifications

IEC and Statoil Specification TD0153 compliant

Design Life Minimum 25 Years

These design features of the MECON Wet Mate give the following advantages:

· Fewer leakage points compared to two or more conductor per phase

· Smaller footprint for all three phases

· Only one connection point with ROV

The two connector designs are based on same technology and the same design rules

· Two independent barriers through the connector

· Solid insulation as inner barrier all through the connector, no place where insulation oil is the only insulator.

· Simplification of cable termination with emphasis on simple assembly

· One end of the connector can be placed on a power module (i.e. transformer), and then electrical cable terminations are only needed on the jumper end. Weight, size and cost will then be reduced.



Template Rev 00


The MECON WM design solution includes the following to ensure high reliability and long lifetime:

· Electric mating in a clean, controlled environment ensuring that the Connector is “reset” every time a mate/demate occur.

· A double barrier design with two independent barriers

· Metal seals between the metal housings constituting the outer barrier towards sea

· Solid insulation all along conducting bodies

In addition to the design solutions utilized, reliability and long life is further ensured by design margins incorporated into all MECON Connector designs. These margins are based on a combination of technical know-how, operating experience and previous experience with material properties and testing. The MECON connectors are maintenance free whilst installed.

Since the MECON connectors are maintenance free whilst installed, a disconnection is most likely owing to the fact that one of the components attached to the connection is retrieved for maintenance. The wet mated metal seal is placed on the connector half attached to the component most likely to be retrieved. If a connector half is retrieved, the metal seal is replaced. Recommended number of mate with the same metal seal is one. The metal seal is subsea replaceable using a ROV tool. If the component not containing the metal seal is retrieved, a subsea replacement of the seal should be performed. Operation of metal seal is verified after mechanical connection.

The tool required for replacing the seal subsea is field proven technology for process connections. However a redesign of this tool is necessary in order to adapt to the HV connector hub-face.

2.4 MECON WM 36/500

The MECON Wet Mate 36/500 connector was developed for wet make-up of electrical interfaces in subsea power systems where high reliability is a prime concern. Typical applications are between electrical power supply umbilical and electric drive equipment. The high reliability of MECON WM 36/500 is due to a unique connection method: following mechanical interlocking and sealing of the connector halves, stroking of the connector takes place in a benign environment created in-situ by flushing and conditioning of the dielectric fluid. Unlike traditional stab-type connectors this method offers control and predictability of the internal electric connection.

The MECON WM 36/500 can be used for the following applications

· Subsea Pump Motor

· Subsea Power Transformer

· Subsea Switchgear

· Subsea Distribution System

· Patented three-phase connector of compact design

· All three phases connected simultaneously

· Adaptable for many different interfaces e.g. module, jumpers and pigtails

· Primary electrical insulation by solid material

· Secondary electrical insulation by di-electric fluid

· Dual barrier system – external metal barrier with metal-to-metal seals

· ROV assisted connection tool

· Accessories for wet storage protection and post lay down condition monitoring

Template Rev 00


The MECON WM 36/500 design is based on the MECON connector4 that was installed on

the Troll Pilot water injection pump in 2001 and is still in operation. It has been connected several times while subsea over these past years without any sign of deterioration.

Testing to the full design rating of 36 kV/500 A was successfully achieved in 2005 through the SPC project, this has been termed the 2nd generation MECON WM 36/500. The 3rd generation MECON WM 36/500 has been developed to meet tougher environmental requirements and test specifications. The technical data presented below is for the 3rd generation MECON WM 36/500.

2.5 MECON WM 12/1800

GE has qualified a Wet Mate connector for a compressor motor application through a TQP for Statoil. The connector has been through all main tests according to Statoil specification TD0153.

The purpose of the MECON product family is to enable connection between electrical supply and electrically driven equipment. The MECON WM connectors facilitate this connection to be made on the sea floor. The value of this ability lies in the fact that large modules can be deployed and installed individually and also be removed and replaced individually.

Failures related to the electric supply of subsea electrically driven equipment is not unheard of and can constitute severe financial losses. The MECON WM family has therefore been designed for superior operability and reliability.

The MECON WM 12/1800 can be used for the following applications

· Subsea Pump Motor

· Subsea Compressor Motor

· Subsea Power Transformer

· Pipeline Heating

· Subsea Switchgear

· Patented three-phase connector of compact design

· All three phases connected simultaneously

· Adaptable for many different interfaces e.g. module, jumpers and pigtails

· Primary electrical insulation by solid material

· Secondary electrical insulation by di-electric fluid

· Dual barrier system – external metal barrier with metal-to-metal seals

MECON WM Connection System

Template Rev 00


A system to make up electrical connection between two modules, subsea, consists of generic connector parts and interface structures. The generic connector parts have the same design for all applications. They take care of the electrical design of the connection. For the MECON WM system these are the Male Connector Half, The Female Connector Half, the mechanical Clamp Connector and the Connection Tool. The interface structures however are dependent on the connection system engineering. This includes layout, modularization, installation and intervention. The connection system engineering is performed in the delivery projects,

Figure 4 MECON Jumper Connection System.

The high reliability of MECON WM is due to the unique connection method. Following mechanical interlocking and sealing of the connector halves, stroking of the connector takes place in a benign environment created in-situ by flushing and conditioning of the dielectric.

Unlike traditional stab-type connectors this method offers control and predictability of the internal environment. This is a prerequisite for long life subsea.

3.1 Connection Methods

The connector can be mated using different methods depending on system solution and distance between the modules. Standard solutions are developed for the MECON concept for both horizontal and vertical mating.

Direct connection

The Female Connector half (FCH), including the mechanical clamp connector is mounted on Subsea module. The Male Connector Half (MCH) is preinstalled onto the landing structure below the subsea module. The two connector halves are mated vertically during land out of the subsea module.

Direct connection with flexibility

The FCH, including the mechanical clamp connector is mounted on the subsea module. The MCH is installed on the landing structure. After the subsea module lands the FCH is still some distance above the MCH. Using a torque tool the FCH is lowered and the two halves are mated vertically.

Vertical flying lead connection

The FCH, including the mechanical clamp connector is mounted on Subsea module. The MCH is preinstalled into a parking position (which serves as a protection cap). After land out of the subsea module, the MCH is moved from the parking position, onto the FCH via a subsea lift . The FCH has a guide funnel to guide the MCH.

Horizontal flying lead connection

The FCH, including the mechanical clamp connector is mounted on Subsea module. The MCH is preinstalled onto the landing structure below the subsea module. The two connector halves are mated horizontally after installation of the subsea module.

Hinged steering arm connection

If the connection is between two modules with a fairly short distance from each other, a design with a hinged steering arm have advantages. The FCH including the mechanical clamp connector is mounted on a hinged steering arm attached to the Subsea module. The MCH is preinstalled onto the other module (Transformer). After land out of the subsea module, the FCH is pulled into position above the MCH. The two connector halves are mated vertically by a torque tool activated lowering of the FCH.

Figure 5 Concept figure with direct connection between MCH and transformer

3.2 Connection Process

The complete MECON WM connection consists of the following discrete steps:

1. Installation/intervention and crude guiding (Project specific)

2. Mechanical mate

3. Fine guiding

4. Mechanical lock and sealing

5. Connection Tool (Flushing tool) installation.

6. Hydraulic stab connection interface to connection tool

7. Producing an electrically clean environment (Flushing)

8. Electrical mate

The MECON WM disconnection consists of the following steps:

9. Connection Tool (Flushing tool) is installed

10. Hydraulic stab connection interface to connection tool

11. Electrical demate

12. Flush with seawater. Exhaust in dirty tank.

13. Pull connector halves apart

14. Install Protection

The following description details the connection (mating) process mentioned in steps 1-6.

Physical Mating:

Mating is performed by self-indexing halves acted upon by gravity and ROV for coarse guidance. The female connector half is (typically) fitted with a guiding funnel that receives the male connector half when it is gently lowered to complete the first step of the connection procedure. Having landed on the receiving hub of the female connector half, the connector is ready for mechanical interlocking of the two connector halves. This step is performed by the ROV operating a standard torque tool to close a clamp connector located on the receiving funnel.

Flushing:

Final cleaning of the water filled volume between the two connector halves and replacing the sea water by conditioned di-electric oil completes the mechanical connection procedure. The special ROV tool is required for the job together with a supply of the fluids used. Conductivity is measured continuously during flushing. Samples of last volume flushed out of connector are collected and tested topside before system is energized.

Electrical Mating:

The connector is now ready for electrical connection. The actual electrical make-up is performed by hydraulically pushing a piston in the female half, containing the electrical contacts, over the protruding male pins. This final step in the connection procedure is performed by the ROV using the same special tool as was used for cleaning and conditioning prior to electrical connection.

Testing:

Electrical measurements may be performed at suitable stages during the procedure in order to check that the required conditions are in fact achieved. For instance, conductivity tests with an ohm meter from rig or installation vessel between two phases during the mating sequence can be done during the connection itself. This gives an indication that the connection is good when the signal is approaching a short circuit through the pump. Megging can also be done after connection is made to ensure a good connection. The



Template Rev 00


conductivity of the di-electric fluid is checked during the connection operation and samples of the fluid may be taken for later laboratory testing.

3.3 MECON Connection Tool

The MECON Connection Tool consists of a tank skid, a hydraulic stab and a TCU (Topside Control Unit). The tank skid is belly mounted on the ROV. The purpose of the tool is to allow subsea flushing of the MECON electrical internals before final electrical connection. This allows mating of the MECON in a benign environment.

Contents of pre filled diaphragm tanks are pumped through the connector. Conductivity of fluid coming out of the connection chamber is measured during flushing and a sample of the last 2 liters is bottled for topside verification. The skid structure and Tool are made of lightweight materials. Buoyancy modules make the flushing Tool near neutrally buoyant in water.

The Tank Skid is carried, powered and controlled by a standard work class ROV. The Tank Skid consists of a frame, flushing tanks, pipe work, hoses, valves and an electronic pod. The frame will have standard attachment points for the ROV system.

The Tank Skid interfaces to MECON through a specially designed 4-bore Hydraulic Stab Flushing Tool. This allows the fluids to be pumped into and around the enclosed volume before being ejected into a waste tank. This tool also allows the electrical connection to be made up by pushing the shuttle piston from the female connector half over the male connector half.

Functional control of the Tool is through the ROV umbilical. Operation of the Tools functions is through a specially designed GUI which resides on an industrialized laptop PC, and is referred to as the Topside Control Station (TCS).

3.4 MECON Connection tool extension kit

The Connection Tool described in section 3.3 will be utilized for the MECON WM 36/500 installation. The same Connection tool skid used with the MECON WM 36/500 will be connected to a separate basket, the extension kit, to increase the flushing capacity needed for the MECON WM 12/1800.

The extension kit will be connected to the connection tools with stab connectors. As with all stab connectors a small volume of sea water will be trapped in the connection point. The volume will be flushed through the MECON connector as part of the flushing sequence.

Not as long as the connector assy. Is installed on a foundation or device structure.

Cable is protected by use of either bendlimiter or bendstiffeners.

Yes.

What is the expected connector cost (£) 250.000 excluding termination work.

Yes for sure. The price on this connector assy. is "cost driven" and mainly hooked

up to the price of raw material, the price will definately be different in case it is

being mass produced.


and what are the associated costs -

No spare connectors are required as such but the power connectors are

considered to be "long leadtime items" (16-18 weeks). A set of spare power

connectors are priced around 125.000£

-One unit is on stock at present and a typical delivery time for "one off" is around

22-25 weeks from order.

-

WARRANTY:

12 months from delivery ex works against faulty design and/or manufacture. The

warranty includes labour and parts for all work carried out in the manufacturer's

work shop. All freight costs involved to be covered by the buyer. Warranty work

carried out outside the manufacturer's work shop includes labour and parts.

Travel time, travel costs and accommodation to be covered by the buyer.

(e.g Water depth)



Most of wave and tidal sites possess a rocky seabed leading leading that could lead to abrasion risks if

the connector is free to move on the seabed. Is there any protection requirments in regard with this

issue? (e.g matressing, life jacket system, additional weigth..)

Is the connector equipped with a Fiber optic loopback system to allow testing of the fibre optics before

the connector is mated

Nothing regarding abrasion. Will need protection when un-mated subsea-Regarding marine

growth, the basic material for the Hydralight is TITANIUM. This does not suffer too much from

marine growth but we would always recommend protection by blanking cap or dummy when un-

mated subsea. Being Titanium this does require isolation from the main subsea structure but we

provide isolation rings for this. I have attached a photo of a Hydralight plug which was retrieved

from a tidal turbine project - this shows a small amount of marine growth on the central stem but

this particular connector was submerged for period without protection.

With a world-wide focus on climate change and the need for new alternatives for

the generation of power many new generating technologies are being developed.

pb^ `lk® is embracing the Renewable Energy market and working with clients in

many market sectors including Wave, Tidal and Hydro power. pb^ `lk® has beenable to combine not only its strength in new product research and development, but

also its vast experience in the supply of harsh environment connectors and

systems. These strengths have enabled pb^ `lk® to provide electrical andoptical solutions to this market due to the wide range of products and services

already offered by the pb^ `lk® Group including:-

· Underwater mateable fiber optic and electrical connectors

· Underwater fiber optic and electrical connectors

· Cable terminations and splice boxes

· Field installation

· On-site support

In addition, pb^ `lk® is heavily investing in the development of new productsspecifically designed for this market.

The Wave and Tidal generation sectors have, in most circumstances, very different

requirements in terms of electrical and fiber optic connections. For Wave

applications these are generally for dry-mateable / manual make-up connectors

whereas Tidal normally utilizes wet-mateable / ROV or stab-plate make-up.

pb^ `lk® is able to supply many of these requirements from its range of standardproducts.

SpecTRON EvolutionMedium & High Power

Electrical Connector Systems

Siemens Subsea introduces its SpecTRON (Subsea Power Electrical Connector)

range of Medium and High Power Electrical Connector Systems for the Oil & Gas industry.

Product HistorySince 1979 Siemens Subsea has been involved in subsea applications for the Oil & Gas industry. Initially, most electrical equipment placed on the

sea bed was relatively low power, i.e. control systems and instrumentation. The company’s involvement in high power connectors started with a

development programme initiated in 1988 (Project SPEED). This led to the design, manufacture and test of the world’s first subsea mateable

connector pair rated to 11kV 400Amps. Development of these connector ranges continued and became our standard SpecTRON 10 connector

which is commonly used for Multi Phase Pumping (MPP) projects.

1994 saw a significant turning point in oil production history when Petrobras, in partnership with Siemens subsea, installed the world’s first

subsea Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) system complete with wet mate connectors to power the downhole pump. Since that time, ESPs for

subsea wells have become an accepted solution and the SpecTRON 5 system is seen as the industry standard with an unprecedented subsea

proven track record.

Since 1994 the amount of subsea equipment requiring high voltage (HV) and high current (HC) has increased significantly. In response Siemens

Subsea have developed the most extensive range of HV power connectors in the industry. Through the years of development, Siemens Subsea

have delivered world firsts on many new connector developments and subsea applications. As the market for subsea ‘medium to high power

connectors’ increases Siemens Subsea will continue to develop the enabling technologies needed to satisfy the requirements of the subsea Oil &

Gas industry.

SpecTRON Applications & Product Selector

Siemens Subsea medium and high power SpecTRON subsea

electrical connectors are usually used in the type of systems

shown. Please contact our Technical Department to discuss your

specific requirements.

ESP SYSTEMS

Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems have 2 distinct power

requirements; 5kV and 8kV. The higher powered 8kV systems

address the requirement for deeper water applications.

Siemens Subsea supply the full connection system from the

Umbilical Termination Unit fitted to the umbilical cable, the infield

jumper taking the power to the Tree Cap, through the Tree, and

finishing at the Tubing Hanger Receptacle.

We supply both single feed-through and dual feed-through

systems.

SpecTRON 5 (5kV(U)) and SpecTRON 8 (8.7kV(U)) subsea

electrical connectors meet the requirements for ESP systems.

MUDLINE PUMPING SYSTEMS

Siemens Subsea deliver SpecTRON 10 (10kV(U)) subsea electrical

connector systems designed for the power requirement of Multi

Phase Pumps (MPPs), Single Phase Pumps (SPPs) and Gas

Compressors.

SUBSEA POWER DISTRIBUTION

MPPs (Multi Phase Pumps), SPPs (Single Phase Pumps) and Gas

Compressors often require the power to be transferred through a

subsea transformer. To accommodate this requirement we have a

SpecTRON 60 (60kV(U)) penetrator to interface with the high

power umbilical.

We also have a modular SpecTRON MUTU 5, 8 &10 for power

distribution to Electrical Submersible Pumps, Mudline Pumping

and Gas Compressor Systems.

FLOWLINE SYSTEMS

Siemens Subsea deliver SpecTRON 2 (2kV(U)) and SpecTRON 15

(14kV(U)) subsea electrical connectors to facilitate the provision

of power from the FPSO or platform to the flowline. The

SpecTRON 15 normally feeds into a transformer from which the

SpecTRON 2 takes the power to the heating system.

Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) have been used since the early 1990s to enhance oil recovery from

deepwater and marginal wells. Siemens Subsea, has been heavily involved in providing ESP connection

systems since those pioneering days and Siemens subsea 5kV 200A (SpecTRON 5) connectors are now seen as

the industry standard with deployments worldwide.

The connection system is a 3-phase, 2.9/5(5.8)kV system qualified to a water depth of 1330m (200 bar test).

Wet mate connectors can be configured as ROV, Diver or Stab Plate mated. The penetrator and tubing hanger

receptacle are designed to API standards and differential pressure rated to 260 bar (520 bar test). The most

recent addition to this range is a penetrator with either an API or SPO flange rated to 345 bar (517 bar test).

For use on subsea transformers, circuit breakers, power distribution units and condensate pumps.

An ESP power feedthrough system typically comprises an Umbilical Termination Unit to splice the umbilical

power cores to flexible leads which then terminate into a Wet Mate Receptacle. A ‘flying’ jumper links the

umbilical to the Xmas tree. A penetrator in the tree cap

provides a pressure retaining feedthrough to a wet

mateable tree cap plug, which mates with a wet

mateable receptacle in the tubing hanger. The tubing

hanger receptacle is pressure retaining and

engineered to withstand the hostile environment

of aggressive chemicals at high temperature.

The tubing hanger receptacle is

terminated to downhole motor

cable which ultimately

connects to the pump.

New Design SpecTRON 5 ROV Plug Connector.


Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) are used to boost well pressure and enhance oil recovery.

Power to the ESP is provided through a series of electrical jumpers and subsea inter-connections.

The inter-connections are made up of wet mateable electrical connectors and penetrators. These

allow power to pass from the umbilical through the subsea tree to the ESP. They provide both a

pressure retaining capability at the tree cap and tubing hanger and a wet mate / demate function

at the umbilical and tubing hanger.

An ESP is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body; the

whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. Submersible pumps are used to provide

an efficient form of "artificial lift" able to operate across a broad range of flow rates and depths.

Siemens Subsea supply the full connection system from the Umbilical Termination Unit fitted to

the umbilical cable, the infield jumper taking the power to the Tree Cap, through the Tree, and

finishing at the Tubing Hanger Receptacle. We supply both single feed-through and dual feed-

through systems.

SpecTRON 8 is the latest addition to the Siemens subsea, range of medium and high power connector

systems.

The design and development of this range of connectors is based on the knowledge and experience that we

have gained from the extensive deployment of SpecTRON connectors throughout the Oil & Gas industry. At

the same time we have taken the opportunity to incorporate the latest developments in technology. This new

product range provides the industry with increased power capacity, particularly for ESP systems, whilst

maintaining the high degree of reliability inherent in the SpecTRON product range.

SpecTRON 8 satisfies a similar need to the SpecTRON 5, but has been developed to meet the increasing power

demand for ESPs to extract the heavy oils in deep and ultra-deep water (typically offshore Brazil). SpecTRON 8

provides a complete connection system from the umbilical through to the pump/tubing hanger; comprising

Umbilical Termination Unit, ROV wet mate-able connectors, penetrator, plug and tubing hanger receptacle.

They provide pressure retaining capability at both the tree cap and tubing hanger, and a wet mate / de-mate

function at the umbilical and tubing hanger.

Suitable Applications:

ESP systems and Renewables.

SpecTRON 10 connectors are typically used for

Multi-Phase Pumping (MPP) and Single-Phase

Pumping (SPP) applications, also called booster

pumps or mudline pumps. The MPP or SPP is

situated on the sea bed and is joined to the pipeline,

boosting flow from the well to top-side. The pumps

increase oil recovery and can be specified for new

field developments, or for existing fields to extend

their life.

SpecTRON 10 connectors have a nominal voltage

rating of 6/10(12)kV, in accordance with the IEC

voltage class system. This makes them suitable for

3-phase system voltages up to 12kV (Um).

Maximum current throughput is up to 520A,

depending on the temperature and pressure inside

the pump motor. This means the connectors can

provide power to pump motors rated to 9MW

(12,000 hp), or to 5MW (6,700 hp) for systems

requiring Category C operation.

SpecTRON 10 has been qualified to 450 bar test

(4500 metres) for use in deepwater to 3000 metres

(which is currently the world’s deepest MPP project).

Suitable Applications: MPP and SPP systemsand gas compressors.

60kV Penetrator DevelopmentTeam

60kV Penetrator under thermal cycle test.

Siemens Subsea has achieved yet another first in technological development with the creation of the

SpecTRON 60 penetrator, a vital enabling technology for high voltage subsea electrical distribution systems,

with the capacity to operate in water depths up to 2000 metres. SpecTRON 60 was developed to meet the

ever-growing demand for connectivity between higher voltage umbilical cables and subsea transformers,

making it possible to achieve longer step-out distances and higher power loads required by projects such as

subsea gas compression.

What makes SpecTRON 60 unique is the sealing and barrier philosophy developed for the penetrator. The

design not only meets the requirements of TD0153, which allows insulation to be the second barrier to sea-

water, but surpasses it. Having an additional sea water barrier prevents water treeing in the insulation. This is

a specific feature of the SpecTRON 60 design to ensure that the insulation system is never exposed even if the

primary sea water barrier is breached.

Trends in subsea oil & gas production are

moving towards deeper water and longer step

out distances. These trends drive demand for

higher power equipment and higher power

delivery and distribution capabilities subsea

with high pressures and temperatures.

Teledyne ODI’s New Subsea Power Electrical

Connector Systems, featuring wet-mate

connectors (WMCs), electrical flying leads

(EFLs), and cable terminations, are designed

with the benefit of advanced material science

testing and certification with insulation

and redundant sealing systems for reliable

performance in long-term harsh environments.

The wet-mate connectors are designed based

on ODI’s field proven Nautilus™ technology.

The connection systems are tested beyond

industry standards and in addition to two

independent electrical barriers, each socket

contact features unique dual redundant oil-filled

chambers providing enhanced mechanical

barriers.

Since each phase is fully shielded, the

connector system can be operated wet or dry,

allowing motor operation on dry land or deep

water applications.

An ODI ROV Shuttle Assist Mating System

is incorporated into the design to aid in the

mating and demating operation to reduce

ROV mating time.

The Subsea Power Connector System can be

configured as a 1 or 3 pin system.

NautilusTM SP G2 is designed to provide a

subsea, wet-mateable connection between

components requiring high voltage and/

or high current. The contact and seal

mechanisms were designed using Teledyne

ODI’s experience with the industry-

standard NautilusTM electrical wet-mateable

connector providing a reliable sealing and

mating mechanism throughout the life of

the connector.

NautilusTM SP G2 is designed using

Advanced Materials Science &

Materials Certification processes and is

qualified under the guidelines of industry

standards for medium voltage connectors

to validate the 25-year performance

life. The qualification has shown that

significant safety margins exist in all of the

connectors’ ratings. Electrical breakdown

voltages are in excess of 100 kVDC while

aggressive long-term testing has validated

the product’s performance safety margins

over the design life.

NautilusTM SP G2 is designed to provide

a flexible, high reliability solution to

subsea power connectors building on

Teledyne ODI’s 20 years of experience in

wet-mateable connectors. Its pressure-

balanced, oil-filled design has allowed

it to be qualified for use anywhere in the

ocean and the sealing mechanism permits

mating in harsh subsea environments. The

NautilusTM SP G2 product utilizes Teledyne

ODI’s standard Oil-Filled Hose to create

medium voltage electrical assemblies and

has demonstrated a high reliability level
