Modern oil & gas operations require reliable
IT services supported with resilient back-up power infrastructure. This was the
challenge about 10 years ago when a parallel redundant 2 x 160kVA UPS (in
shared-load operation) was required for critical IT services and the Server operations
at Chevron Escravos, also in Port-Harcourt. Desired system autonomy was 60
minutes on each 160kVA UPS, with long-life battery bank. The parallel system
auto-adjusts from parallel-redundant to parallel capacity mode if / when
required, and vice-versa if / when necessitating conditions revert. The system
continues to deliver excellent performance till date, almost 10 years after
deployment at the respective locations, consistent with Powerex solutions over
many years.
