8.2 Systems
8.2.1 Electrical Control Systems
Commonly there are three electrical global facility control systems on a platform:
The PCS system Process Control System (Also named SCADA: Supervisory,
Control And Data Acquisition). The system is taking care of running the process
and utility systems within normal parameters.
The PSD/ESD system Process/Emergency Shut Down (Also named ESD with
levels named: ESD1 - ESD2 - ESD3 - ESD4).
The F&G system Fire and Gas The system is unlike SCADA and ESD not
process related but facility related. While the two first are supervising and
controlling the process, the F&G system will supervise and control hazardous
situations (fire or gas release) on the facility. The F&G system is detailed
described in DK-EP-SAF-GDE-0001
8.2.2 Hydraulic Control Systems
Hydraulic low pressure (LP) system for general purpose hydraulic power has design
pressure of 207 barg. The working pressure range is minimum 90 barg and maximum
120 barg. PRV setting is 132 barg.
Utility equipment (e.g. fire dampers) is locally controlled and supplied from LP system.
