  • Patent number: 9622371
    Abstract: An arrangement system composed of a plurality of electrical/electronic components particularly of a voltage converter device of a power supply system for use in oil/natural gas production composed of at least one support member that is provided on at least one side with a surrounded accommodating recess, a circuit carrier which is arranged in the accommodating recess and electrically connected to the components, and a holding member fixing the circuit carrier and/or the components in the accommodating recess. An insulating material is arranged at least in part between the circuit carrier and/or components and the support member. Such an arrangement system permits an adequate electrical insulation of the corresponding components and optionally also of the circuit carrier in relation to the support member together with an adequately high heat conduction.

  • Publication number: 20140222224
    Abstract: An energy and data distribution system includes at least one monitoring and supply unit that is connected via a cable connection to at least one power control and communications unit, in which the power control and communications unit is connected to a number of on-site control means, each of the on-site control means being associated to at least one conveying assembly for oil or gas extraction with the respective means. A number of power control and communications units in a network are connected to at least one further power control and communications unit via a node associated to the respective power control and communications unit, and at least one power control and communications unit or one node of the network is connected via the cable connection to the monitoring and supply unit.

  • Patent number: 8552884
    Abstract: A power and signal distribution system comprises a converter unit connected to a plurality of control units. The converter unit and the control units are arranged in areas difficult to access, for instance on the sea bed. The converter unit is connected to a remote monitoring and supplying device via at least one cable connection. Each control unit has assigned thereto at least one production apparatus for crude oil or natural gas corresponding gate valves, chokes, biops, actuators. In some embodiments, the power and signal distribution system the converter unit comprises a data separation device and a voltage converter. The converted voltage from the voltage converter is transmitted together with data/signals from the converter unit to at least one of the control units.
