Abstract
Use of renewable energy in standalone system has started to develop and continually becoming a lucrative approach to the new electrical network. Lately, in many countries the combination of solar power photovoltaic (PV) and diesel generator hybrid system has become quite popular. This type of hybrid system is very reliable and works in all types of climate. Especially in an environment such as desert (Middle East) or forest (Africa) where the reliability is a major concern. The diesel generation system has been installed and has been operating in the oil rigs for ages and the introduction of the solar photovoltaic will give a new dimension to operation and reliability as well as fetch environmental and economic benefits. This paper proposes a PV-Diesel hybrid system and focuses on challenges in implementing hybrid (PV-Diesel-Battery) powered rig system and the benefits of such system. A brief discussion on the challenges in health and safety, unpredictable weather and other electrical issues has been done. All the data used for this paper have been taken from real rig data and used for analysis of the system.
