ABB received orders from Hyundai Heavy Industries for electrical and telecommunication systems. The order is worth around US$100 million, with about half booked in the 4Q of 2014, almost $27 million in the 1Q of this year and $20 million in 2Q. It enables Hyundai Heavy Industries to fulfill its obligations to Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co. under the contract for EPC work of Nasr full field development project.
The solution provided consists of power management, power-from-shore and telecom systems. The facilities covered by the referred contract will be powered by a 132 kilovolt (kV) AC subsea ring cable from Das Island, about 160km west of Abu Dhabi.
The power management system is based on ABB's System 800xA extended automation control system, which integrates the network of transformers and switchgears and enables operators to control the electrical installation in a safe and consistent manner. It also includes an intelligent asset management system for predictive maintenance of equipment.
ABB will supply 28 bays of compact 132 kV GIS for one onshore and two offshore platform installations as well as medium voltage products including 33 kV gas-insulated switchgear and 11 kV and 6.6 kV air-insulated switchgear
Additionally, ABB will supply multiple types of transformers, shunt reactors and associated equipment ranging from 500 kVA to 100 MVA.
ABB will also provide a complete and fully integrated telecommunication system to the Al Nasr super complex for internal and external communication and field security. Key products are computer networks, electronic personnel tracking, a camera system, radar, public address and general alarm systems, access control, a telephone system, radios and a transmission system between platforms.
The project will be executed by ABB's engineering services and project management team in Norway, with equipment manufactured by ABB in the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany and Norway. Delivery is scheduled for 3Q 2016.
ABB has supported the Al Nasr full field development project from the concept stage, through front-end engineering and design and now the construction phase. The scope of supply includes design, engineering, supply, installation and commissioning.
