Boabat Alnoor is the first company in Iraq to manufacture synchronising panels. These units were designed, built and factory-tested in-house before delivery to the wellsites.
ELECTRICAL PROJECT PROFILE
Power Management System (PMS) Integration
BN Company was awarded contract COOF 4500365117 for the supply, installation and commissioning of twenty (20) synchronizing panels — ten (10) rated at 1250KVA and ten (10) rated at 800KVA — for ESP wellsite power stations across the Zubair Oil Field, on behalf of Eni Iraq B.V. (ZFOD). Each panel synchronizes and shares load between three power sources: two generator sets and the national grid connection, ensuring continuous and stable power supply to the electrical submersible pump (ESP) wells.
The synchronizing panels are built around a Deep Sea Electronics (DSE) synchronization and control platform, rated at 400V. Motorized Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) are used for source switching on each incomer. The system automatically checks voltage, frequency and phase sequence before permitting breaker closure, then manages load sharing between the connected sources to maintain reliable power availability at each wellsite.
Each synchronizing panel is designed to safely parallel and share load between two generator sets and the national grid, giving the wellsite three available power sources with automatic changeover and synchronization.
The DSE controller's front-panel display gives wellsite operators full local visibility and control of the synchronization process. Key features available to the operator include:
The installation of these synchronizing panels strengthens power availability at the Zubair Oil Field ESP wellsites by enabling safe, automatic synchronization between the generator sets and the national grid connection. Automated load-sharing and synchronization reduce the risk of paralleling faults, protect the generating sets and downstream ESP loads, and reduce reliance on manual operator intervention. Local monitoring through the DSE controllers improves fault diagnosis and supports a faster response to abnormal operating conditions, improving overall wellsite uptime.
BN Company executed the supply, installation and commissioning of twenty (20) synchronizing panels (10×1250KVA + 10×800KVA) for ESP wellsite power stations at the Zubair Oil Field, under contract COOF 4500365117 for Eni Iraq B.V. (ZFOD). Each 400V panel uses Deep Sea Electronics (DSE) synchronizing controllers and Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) to automatically synchronize and share load between two generator sets and the national grid, ensuring reliable, continuous power supply to the ESP wells.
