An offshore oil platform can be defined as a large structure used to house workers
and machinery needed to drill and then to produce oil and natural gas wells in the
ocean. Platform usually consists of few modules such as drilling module, power
generation module, gas lift module and etc. Normally, an oil platform consists of a
central processing platform and few satellite platforms. This document defines the
simulation for power system of an offshore platform. The study will be done based
on Mel or Lahor Tangga Barat gas field, ML TTB platform. Offshore structures and
installation design requires highest consideration because any disruption may
jeopardize safety of personnel and can cause equipment failure which will cause a
lot of money and maintenance. This document outlines the factors needed to be
considered in preparing a power system, equipment sizing and configuration, short
circuit analysis and also motor starting study. The simulation will be done using
electrical power transmission and distribution system software called EDSA
