1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
Between September and November 2006, a modification phase took place on the
DLB Acergy Polaris. The main steps were :
- the installation of a new J-Lay Tower system
- the upgrade of the power generation.
Therefore the purpose of this document is describe the power generation on board
the Acergy Polaris.
2. ELECTRICAL CONFIGURATION
2.1 POWER GENERATION
See drawing Annexe 1, Polaris distribution one line diagram.
§ This power generation feed (See document UPG-0005 : Power balance analysis
for more details) :
- The barge needs (accommodation, welding machines,…) ;
- The 2 ROV needs ;
- The J-Lay Tower needs
- The S-Lay tensionners and welding machine
- The two electrical tunnel thrusters.
§ It has been fixed that 4 generator sets have to run when the tunnel thrusters
must be operated at a high level.
§ In case of black out, the emergency generator set takes over automatically and
supplies all emergency consumers (fire pumps, cooling pumps, fans, emergency
lighting,…)
§ See document UPG-0005 : Power balance analysis for more details on power
availability and power consumption on board the Polaris.
§ See document UPG-0002 : Power Management System for more details on the
power Management System philosophy on board the Polaris.

§ When a black out occurs on the main source, the three phase voltage controller
detects voltage loss on the main source and after a time delay cycle sends a
temporary closing order to the emergency generator set PLC that delivers a
starting order to the emergency engine when the following conditions have been
met:
- voltage is present on emergency source
- no voltage on shore connections and bus tie supplies.
§ The emergency circuit breaker is automatically closed on the bus bar that
supplies every emergency consumers.
§ When voltage is restored on the main network and at end of cycle, the time
delay relay is energised, sends a temporary opening order to the emergency
circuit breaker and a temporary closing order to the main circuit breaker.
5.1 ROV
§ The Polaris is equipped with two ROVs. They need power for their winch HPU
and for their own supply. This power comes from the barge main power
generation.
5.2 CRANE
§ Only small auxiliary consumers are powered through the barge power
generation like lighting.
§ That means that in case of black out, the tower turns to safety mode. Every
operation stops. See document A04-48000 J-Lay Tower operating manual for
more details.
