Your journey takes you research or work in remote locations where electricity is limited or unavailable? I'm not talking only with an extension cord across the car park nearest to power ... like to have more reliable power for a field of research to offer a small island in Alaska, long accessible only by boat or seaplane, and more than one year's duration. I want the experience I have of the construction and maintenance of these fields of energy gained market sharefor the supply.
This was the scenario of a student and I, a biologist and field research engineers faced. Let's just say that we have not had big problems with load devices, such as radio and satellite phones and laptops for data entry and analysis (and maybe some movies).
I want the experience I have of the construction and maintenance of these power supplies and field camp is specifically talking about gaining market share: the types of energy sources for remote usePaths, the basic concept of how these "sources working power, 'some simple ideas to design a power supply for your specific situation, and, finally, some basic equipment and tools to be included in the drawing power.
ART of renewable energy
1 Photovoltaic panels or solar collectors, known more commonly known as: single or multiple panels to collect light energy from the sun and convert it into electrical energy is stored and fed through a cable in a bank of batteries. Our 400 Watt(W) solar panel produces 0-8 amps (A) on average.
Wind turbines portable 2: Relatively new to the market for portable power sources, but I expect that they get better and more accessible sooner than later. Electricity primarily from wind turns a turbine-powered through a cable and stored in a bank of batteries to be converted. I examined the various models and found different levels, but the common range for a 400-watt model 50-60 watts or amps 3-4.
3* Diesel-powered generator: gasoline generator that can be used as a primary energy source or as a backup or supplement to another source of power. Our Alaska energy source of the field including a Honda EU1000 generator gas in conjunction with a 400-watt solar panel. Gas generator models can vary in terms of performance (from 1000 to 5000 watts: 8.3 to 41.6 amps)
* Remember to account for the transport, storage, use and reuse the fuel supply when using this source of energy.
4 HandsetHydro-generator: a large-scale hydropower is not new (there are a lot of pent-up rivers), but the commercially available portable versions of this technology. In 2010 Bourne was available energy in the power plant backpack type-1-BPP-1 (later version that has been militarized BPP-2 has also recently released.) According to reviews, provide the BPP is quiet and clean energy from each flow over four feet deep, and produces about 500 W (40 A) for units in an optimalWater flow of 2.3 (7.55 m) meters per second, units weigh less than 30 pounds and three feet in length.
BASIC CONCEPT
All these sources can be considered as methods to capture the energy that you want to save and are eventually intended to be used in stock. So where does the energy stored you ask? In a bank of at least 2 or more 12-volt marine batteries. Think of your "bank" of batteries as equivalent to a bank account to which you constantly add energycollected, of which research methods you choose, and ultimately, to power devices such as laptops, radios, power tools, satellite phones, or general purpose battery 'to pull out. "
Power Design - Your individual situation
When you start designing your power, you need to know your position. What is the local climate? How much sun, wind, clouds, rain to your site? How all this will change with the seasons? Until inthis position? You will be able to access fuel for generators? There is a creek or river for a hydroelectric generator to use? These are just some examples of what you need to consider when setting off and really need to put a little 'thought in all possible scenarios that may occur ... best done in the comfort of your home or office is not going to know when to work, while in the area where the opportunities are limited.
What I am sure that after finding someBasic research on the types of energy sources and what unique conditions of the site, you will be under the operating system you want to use a combination of more than one source. For example in our field, it was necessary, a gasoline generator, in addition to the solar panel, we have developed for the collection and storage of energy in our bank of batteries. Knowing there was only so much energy could raise the pot and that was when it was clear, and only in certain types and amounts of cloudsShelter! Again, the emphasis here is to search for the necessary background knowledge in what your situation is to do.
BASIC EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS
Power 1
Cable 2:
Connect the) source and load (battery bank), depends on the required distance, usually 12-15 gauge needle.
ii) Connecting with 12V battery (battery bank), 4 so far.
3 12-volt, deep cycle marine batteries
4 A charge controller. is necessary to prevent overloading. Keep properprevent damage and increase the duration and efficiency of the batteries.
5 The inverter part of the system. It makes 120 volts AC from the DC 12 volts stored in batteries. You can also recharge the batteries if a generator or the power cord connected.
6 Voltmeter
7 stripper, pliers, multi-driver
Extra 8-foot connector cable (for connecting wire)
9 abrasive paper - used to clean the battery terminals for good contact
Distilled or 10Deionized water just to replenish the batteries
11 Silicone gun and mortar - to seal the electrical connections exposed to weather
