4.0 DESIGN BASE

4.1 General
4.1.1 The power generation and distribution facility shall satisfy all the power needs of the LNG PLANT
and its associated facilities, and deliver that power to the utilization equipment.
The electrical power generation unit utilizes three (3) sets of steam turbine generators and one (1)
set of gas turbine generator as the sole normal power source for all plant loads. For the purpose of
black start-up and emergency power supply for QGII plant, two (2) 33kV tie-in connections with
existing QATARGAS (20MW for two LNG trains) are provided at 66kV main switchgear via 2sets
of 66/33kV transformers.
Excess shaft power available from Frame 9 gas turbines driving refrigerant compressors (C3, MR
and N2) is converted to electrical power by the VFD drives connected to motor / generator sets
operating in generation mode.
This generated power is available over a wide range of operating and environmental conditions.
The plant loads consist of electrical users in the LNG process, utilities and off-plot facilities. A small
amount (rated 1,100kW each and installed 4sets per LNG trains) of power shall be available from
Variable Speed Constant Frequency (VSCF) drives connected to generators driven by liquid
expanders. These liquid expander generators are simple induction machines and will be operated
under process control, no power sharing with other plant generators will be provided.
4.1.2 The main power shall be generated by 3 sets of steam turbine generators and 1 set of gas turbine
generator at 11kV, 3 phase, 50Hz with power factor 0.8 lagging.

Rev : E1C2 DISTRIBUTION BASIS OF DESIGN Page 4 of 16

4.1.3 Generated power by steam turbine generators and gas turbine generator, 11kV is stepped up to
66kV main switchboard through 11/66kV individual generator transformers. The 66kV main power
will be distributed through 66/33kV step-down transformer to 33kV switchboards for VFD drives
and balance of the plant by dual redundant 66kV underground feeders as shown on the One Line
Diagram for Electrical System (Overall) QGX/20/91/EL/DR/SD/001.
4.1.4 33kV power distributes by dual redundant underground feeders to all substations.
For utilization, the power is transformed down to 6.6kV and 415V in the following area:
1) Utilities (incl. main substation)
2) Process units
3) Off-plot facilities
Some smaller substations are supplied with power distributed at 6.6kV.
4.1.5 Operator consoles of Electrical Integrated Control System (ELICS) are installed in Electrical
Control Room in New Main Substation no. SS-2901 and existing Main Control Room to monitor
and control the electric power system. The detail of functionality including interface philosophy with
the Emerson DCS (which will control the process motors through ELICS platform) shall be referred
to ELICS specification QGX/29/91/EL/DB/NA/002.

process, utilities and off-plot facilities loads.
4.2.2 The existing QATARGAS electrical power is imported for initial start up and for black start of Trains
4 / 5.
4.2.3 Each steam turbine generator and gas turbine generator is connected to the 66kV main switchgear
through captive transformers. The captive transformers are rated to permit each generator to
deliver its maximum MVA capacity without forced cooling. The impedance rating of the captive
transformers are selected to limit generator short circuit contribution.
4.2.4 Excess power from three Frame 9 gas turbine from each of Trains 4 and 5 (six Frame 9s in all)
when driving helper motor/generators used for the C3, MR and N2 compressors of each Train. The
amount of excess power will be a function of seasonal and daily temperature.
4.2.5 Each of the two substations for each of Trains 4 and 5 (four substations in all) shall have local
power from two VSCF liquid expander generators (eight units in all).
4.3 Normal Power Distribution
4.3.1 66kV main switchgear is located in New Main Substation SS-2901 for the Trains 4 / 5 and shall be
of double bus bar design.
4.3.2 66kV electric power is distributed through 66/33kV step-down transformers and connect to 33kV
switchgear in process train substation SS-2401 & SS-2501 for VFD power supply and also connect
to 33kV switchgear in main substation SS-2901 for balance of plant power supply by dual
redundant feeders except to BOG Compressor motor’s captive transformers in LNG Storage Tank
Substation.
4.3.3 Other smaller substations such as sulfur area substation and aux. electrical power for main
substation, power for these substations are fed by 6.6kV feeders in utility area substation.
4.4 Emergency Power Supply System
4.4.1 Initial start, black start or re-start power will be imported from existing QATARGAS through
33/66kV redundant tie-line OLTC transformers.

plant.
4.4.3 Emergency power supply flow from existing QATARGAS will be monitored and controlled by QGII
ELICS at inter-tie connection at 66kV main switchboard to limit the imported power from existing
QATARGAS within pre-determined value.
