Offshore O&G exploration companies are moving to greater depths to access more abundant O&G reservoirs in deeper waters, resulting in higher costs for HVDC power transmission. As such, an integrated system consisting of an offshore floating wind farm and O&G production platforms with a battery energy storage system (BESS) is proposed in this paper. Transient stability results of the proposed system shows a reduction in transient deviation in load power from-19% to +2/-10%, which meets the IEC and NORSOK standards for O&G platforms. In addition, the load power is also maintained close to 1 p.u. during the transient period.
