Subsea power transmission and distribution is an emerging technology that may enable the oil and gas industry to produce hydrocarbon reserves in deeper and more remote offshore waters. The longer tieback subsea operations will likely require pumps and compressors driven by electric motors to be located on the sea floor to pressure boost the oil and gas to surface and/or onshore platforms. Existing HVAC and HVDC technologies are efficient means for subsea power transmission and distribution. However, they are subject to a variety of limitations, for instance, the single-point failures that would impact production uptime. Furthermore, it is challenging to implement subsea bulk power transmission and distribution by using existing architectures due to the footprint, weight and electrical insulation requirements. This paper describes a subsea power distribution architecture — AC ring. It can be used to interface a high-voltage bulk power transmission network, either AC or DC, to a subsea multi-load AC system. The new topology uses series-connected, by-passable, open-winding transformers to provide better modular design flexibility. The system is expected to be more reliable than conventional “hub and spoke” architectures and more technically feasible regarding practical subsea equipment designs.

Nowadays, as the population of urban areas increases, the need for consumption increases as well. This amount of consumption requires power generation centers with large volumes exploiting that it needs to be big enough, which guides technology towards bulk power transmission systems. In doing so, two types of power transmission systems, including HVDC and EHVAC, can be studied. However, since none of the above technologies has been used in developing countries, a decision should be made to introduce and develop any of these technologies. Applying both technologies together would not be cost-effective. A decision-making development needs the principles of conflicting purposes for alternatives and the selection of the best choice based on the needs of decision-makers. Multi-objective optimization methods may well provide a solution for this selection. Thus, this paper studies deciding on the introduction and Development of HVDC and EHVAC in a developing country, Iran. To this end, measures of this selection are described in detail, and then, AHP, one of the well-known MCDM method, is used to make the final decision.
