CV SummaryConceptual studies, design, engineering, follow-up of manufacture and installation/ commissioning of electrical equipment for offshore oil-installations incl. jack-up, FPSO, semi-submersible and steel jacket platforms. Onshore and offshore work locations worldwide. Typical equipment I have been dealing with includes transformers, motors and switchgear (230 V to 145 kV), generators powered by piston engines, steam or gas turbines (1 MW – 35 MW), electrical driven thruster systems with variable speed drives, water injection pumps, hydraulic power packs (10 kW to 4 MW) and crude oil separators. Planning including site and offshore surveys for hybridization and other conversions to reduce carbon footprint. Power from shore studies.
