3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 13628, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
boost
pressure maintained on the spring-return side of a subsea actuator for the purposes of improving closing-time
response
3.2
commanded closure
closure of the underwater safety valve and possibly other valves depending on the control system design
NOTE Such commands may originate manually, automatically or as part of an ESD.
3.3
control path length
CPL
total distance that a control signal (electrical or hydraulic) travels to the subsea control module or valve actuator
3.4
design pressure
rated working pressure
pressure which is equal to or greater than the maximum service conditions, and for which all components are rated
3.5
direct hydraulic control
control method wherein hydraulic pressure is applied through an umbilical line to act directly on a subsea valve
actuator
NOTE Upon venting of the pressure at the surface, the control fluid is returned through the umbilical to the surface due to
the action of the restoring spring in the valve actuator. Subsea functions may be ganged together to reduce the number of
umbilical lines.
3.6
downstream
direction away from the source of pressure or flow
3.7
electrohydraulic control
control method wherein electrical signals are conducted to the subsea system and used to open or close
electrically-controlled hydraulic control valves
NOTE Hydraulic fluid is locally sourced and acts on the associated subsea valve actuator. "Locally sourced" may mean
locally stored pressurized fluid or fluid supplied by a hydraulic umbilical line. With electrohydraulic control systems, data
telemetry (readback) is readily available at high speed. Multiplexing of the electrical signals reduces the number of conductors in
the electrical umbilical.
3.8

5 System requirements
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 General
The main elements of a subsea production control system typically include the following:
a) hydraulic power unit (HPU);
The HPU provides a stable and clean supply of hydraulic fluid to the remotely operated subsea valves. The
fluid is supplied via the hydraulic umbilical, the subsea hydraulic distribution system, and the SCMs to operate
subsea valve actuators.
b) master control station (MCS);
The MCS may be the central control "node" containing application software required to control and monitor the
subsea production system and associated topside equipment such as the HPU and EPU.
c) distributed control system (DCS);
The DCS can perform the same functions as an MCS, but with a decentralized configuration.
d) electrical power unit (EPU);
The EPU supplies electrical power at the desired voltage and frequency to the subsea users. Power
transmission is performed via the electrical umbilical and the subsea electrical distribution system.
e) modem unit;
This unit modulates communication signals for transmission to and from the applicable subsea users.
f) uninterruptible power supply (UPS);
The UPS is typically provided to ensure safe and reliable electrical power to the subsea production control
system.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 13628-6:2000(E)
g) umbilical;
The umbilical(s) transfers electrical power and signals, hydraulic power, and/or chemicals to the subsea
components of the subsea production system. Signals may be transmitted via power cable (signal on power),
signal cable or fibre optic.
h) subsea control module (SCM);
In a piloted-hydraulic, electrohydraulic or electric control system, the SCM is the unit which upon command
from the MCS directs hydraulic fluid to operate subsea valves. In an electrohydraulic system the SCM also
gathers information from sensors located subsea and transmits the sensor values to the topside facility.
i) subsea distribution systems;
Distribution systems distribute electrical, hydraulic and chemical supply from the umbilical termination(s) to the
subsea trees, manifold valves, injection points, and the control modules of the subsea production control
system.
j) subsea located sensors;
Sensors located in the SCMs, or on subsea trees or manifolds, provide data to help monitor operation of the
subsea production system.
k) control fluids;
Oil-based or water-based liquids that are used to convey control and/or hydraulic power from the surface HPU
or local storage to the SCM and subsea valve actuators.
l) control buoy.
A moored buoy housing generation, communication and chemical injection (optional) equipment. The buoy is
connected to the subsea components of the subsea production system via an electrical/fibre optic/hydraulic
control umbilical. The buoy can communicate with the surface production facility via acoustic, radio or satellite
links or a combination thereof.
This part of ISO 13628 covers all systems, both hydraulic and electrohydraulic. Only the relevant clauses should be
used.
5.1.2 Service conditions
5.1.2.1 Suitability for working environment
The subsea control system shall be designed and operated with consideration for the external environment. For
surface facilities, this will include climatic conditions, corrosion, marine growth, tidal forces, illumination, and
hazardous area classifications. For the subsea environment, this will include corrosion, ambient pressure and
temperature, and maintenance considerations.
Product designs shall be capable of withstanding design pressure (rated working pressure) at rated temperature
without degradation, exceedance of allowable stresses, or impairment of other performance requirements for the
design life of the system.
5.1.2.2 Pressure ratings
5.1.2.2.1 General
The design shall take into account the effects of pressure containment and other pressure-induced loads.
Specialized conditions shall also be considered, such as pressure rating changes in system and component
interfaces (such as subsea control module to receiver plate, umbilical to tree-mounted terminations) and
pressurizing with temporary plugs and caps installed. The effects of external loads (i.e. bending moments, tension),
ambient hydrostatic loads and fatigue shall be considered.
Hydraulic systems shall have a maximum allowable operating pressure at least 10 % below design pressure (rated
working pressure).
