Challenge’s Topic

Development of Smart Grids for more efficient power generation for cost-optimization

Introduction
The ultimate goal of the Grid Integration pathway is that carbon-free energy can be easily
integrated with a positive impact to affordability, safety, security, reliability, resiliency and
customer satisfaction. Distributed Energy Resource management system combined with
large-scale renewables like wind, solar, electric vehicles, and energy storage continue to play
an increasing role in the power sector, whether it be for individual consumer value or system-
wide value. The grid must be flexible enough to accommodate new clean resources, whether
centralized or decentralized, with current power generation like diesel and oil without
degrading reliability and the other valuable attributes of the system.

The electric grid is more than just a generation and transmission infrastructure. It is an
ecosystem of asset owners, manufacturers, service providers, and government officials at
Federal, state, and local levels, all working together to run one of the most reliable electrical
grids in the world.

For this project the team will need to analyze the use of different energy sources to generate
an energy supply to the wellsites - mix of renewable and non-renewable with a view that this
can be adapted and used in the local communities. Based on the solutions proposed these
could be implemented by Schlumberger to reduce the reliance on Diesel Engines throughout
our operations.

Scopes/objectives
Our electric infrastructure is aging, and it is being pushed to do more than it was originally
designed to do. Modernizing the grid to make it “smarter” and more resilient through the use
of cutting-edge technologies, equipment, and controls that communicate and work together
to deliver electricity more reliably and efficiently, can greatly reduce the frequency and
duration of power outages, reduce storm impacts, and restore service faster when outages
occur. Consumers can better manage their own energy consumption and costs because they
have easier access to their own data. Utilities also benefit from a modernized grid, including
improved security, reduced peak loads, increased integration of renewables, and lower
operational costs.

This exciting transformation of the nation’s electric grid creates both challenges and
opportunities to advance the capabilities of today’s electricity delivery system. Therefore, we
can combine the scope of the work in investigating on the following aspects:

1. Renewable Technology feasible to Ecuador Environment

2. Ways to tie new technology to the current electrical system
3. Enhanced grid planning for a 20-year country development expectations

Careers involved
This project is open to any group, but the team should consider ensuring that there is also
knowledge of local laws. We recommend that the group consists of but is not limited to the
following backgrounds:

1. Environmental Engineer
2. Petroleum Engineer
3. Electrical Engineer
4. Renewable Energy Engineer
5. Economist
Note: At least one student must be a Petroleum Engineer.

Other aspects
No special software is required to develop this solution.
