Abstract
An integrated power distribution system utilizes a subsea power distribution hub that receives high voltage electricity through an umbilical from a host surface facility. The subsea power distribution hub steps down the high voltage electricity and distributes the appropriate electrical power supply to multiple components of a subsea production system (e.g., in-well pumps, subsea booster pumps, subsea processing units, subsea valves, and subsea sensors) via jumpers. The integrated subsea power distribution system can be utilize to supply electrical power to all of the required process components of the subsea production system from the in-well completion to the surface host facility.
