Optimised operation of low-emission offshore oil and gas platform integrated energy systems

Abstract: This paper considers the operation of offshore oil and gas platform energy systems with energy supply from wind turbines to reduce local CO2 emissions. A new integrated energy system model for operational planning and simulation has been developed and implemented in an open-source software tool (Oogeso). This model and tool is first presented, and then applied on a relevant North Sea case with different energy supply alternatives to quantify and compare CO2 emission reductions and other key indicators.
