Diseño de un microsistema fotovoltaico aislado móvil para un laboratorio de pruebas para la industria petrolera.

Abstract

The Schlumberger company has a mobile laboratory specialized in the analysis of the petroleum liquid, which is used in different oil fields to know the quality of the resource in the sector. This laboratory is powered now by a combustion electric generator, diesel being its main source of energy. With the objective of using renewable energies, the Schlumberger company resorts to Ecuador PIL Integral Projects, to request the development of an autonomous photovoltaic microsystem capable of supplying electric energy to the laboratory determined VX Spectra. For the development of the photovoltaic microsystem, this project proposes the implementation of high performance and high-capacity solar panels, gel type batteries that can be easily handled, be contained in a mobile structure and meet the requirements of autonomy, in addition to a high efficiency inverter to optimize the system. In the feasibility analysis of the project, we have opted for the simulation in a specialized program that allows the entry of the necessary characteristics to have a detailed model. At the end, the technical and economic parameters of the design are disclosed for its feasibility in comparison with the current power generation system.
