Abstract:

The normal operation of subsea production control system is closely linked to the safety and reliability of communication system. Power line carrier communication (PLC) model is established with the concept of lumped parameter, and the RLGC measured data of an underwater gas field of the South China Sea is introduced into the system. The OrCAD Capture software is used for simulation. Attenuation curves of different transmission paths are obtained. Finally, through limiting the bit error rate, the attainable transmission rate is calculated. In this way, a new method is provided for the communication design of subsea production system.

Key words: subsea production system, lumped parameter, power line carrier communication, RLGC, OrCAD Capture software
