Digital Infrastructure
Remote Power Systems
Solar, Wind, UPS and Thermoelectric Generators
For circumstances in which conventional power is unavailable,
unreliable or cost-prohibitive, Halliburton Intelligent Completions
offers a wide variety of remote power systems. Each system is
designed to support Digital Infrastructure data acquisition and
control systems, including the following:
®
• XPIO 2000 series of data acquisition and control units
®
• OptoLog DTS CE fiber optic system
Depending on site conditions and available resources, operators
can choose from solar, wind, thermoelectric generator (TEG),
engine generator-set (gen-set) or DC-UPS systems, either
individually or in combination. Systems utilize existing local
resources, and enable wireless communication to remote locations.
Offshore systems employ solar power, with wind power backup.
e remote power systems are completely self-contained,
pre-assembled and tested prior to shipment, and are specifically
tailored for the electrical load and climatic conditions of each
particular site.

Reliability
Health and safety margins are built into each remote power system
in order to ensure high reliability and continuous operation. e
remote power systems are prewired inside custom enclosures and
are fully factory-acceptance tested prior to shipment.
Choosing the Appropriate Remote Power System
Among the most crucial considerations related to choosing an
appropriate remote power system is the year-round availability
of sunlight. Every remote power system must be able to perform
reliably during even the most inclement weather. Accurate load
information is also critical, particularly if communications
equipment is included.
In general, use of solar photovoltaic (SPV) cells is the preferred
method of providing remote power because of their simplicity,
reliability and cost-effectiveness. e solar-panel/battery
combination is determined by accurately calculating the total
power consumption of the data acquisition and control equipment,
and then sizing the system based on the worst weather conditions.
A safety margin is included.
Wind Generators
Systems
Modern electrical windmills
harness wind power that can
complement solar power in
conditions with intermittent
sunlight. Regular maintenance
and repair are required.
SPV systems convert sunlight
to DC electricity, and are
the preferred choice in most
circumstances. Solar power can
be used in conjunction with wind,
TEG or gen-set systems.

Solar Photovoltaic (SPV)
Thermoelectric Generators
DC-UPS
(TEGs)
DC-UPS is recommended for
situations in which power is
dirty, intermittent, or unreliable.
Additional filtering and surge
suppression are offered in
addition to backup.
TEGs burn natural gas, and are
extremely reliable when natural
gas is readily available. ey can
also be a good supplement to solar
power. A separator is normally
required if the gas is “wet.”

Engine-Generator Set
HAL31470
(Gen-Set) Systems
Gen-set systems use conventional
fuel to charge a large battery bank.
ey can be used to supplant solar
power, and to charge batteries
in temporary applications or in
circumstances in which weather
extremes make other
options unattractive.
