Research on wind and grid power intelligent complementary system in oilfield

With the rising of energy prices and greenhouse gas emissions, new and renewable energy demand is increasingly urgent. The development of wind power is the fastest new and renewable energy area. Large-scale application and natural characteristics of wind power have directed that wind power market must take a diverse development path. Non-grid connected wind power system development is the diversified exploration and practice of wind power development. According to the theory of non-grid connected wind power, it can be directly applied to a series of high-energy consumption and pollution-free green industries that can be suited to the wind power characteristics. Oil fields are large energy consumers, and in order to achieve energy reduction targets, non-grid connected wind power should be used in petroleum production, which is an important theoretical and practical innovation. Africa has rich wind resources, and broad market prospects for wind power exploitation; Africa also has rich petroleum resources, is one of the world´s eight major petroleum producing areas, and has 20 petroleum producing countries. This non-grid connected wind power system can be directly applied to petroleum machine production system by building interactive intelligent electricity supply systems, making wind power and grid power complementary. The use of local wind energy can have strategic importance to reduce the cost of African petroleum companies, and improve production efficiency and energy savings.
