Small-capacity electricity source installation for electricitiless remote districts

In this paper, the non-fossil-fuel power-generating electricity-supply ways, including (1) solar power generation, (2) thermo-electric generation, (3) closed circulating vapour power generation, (4) wind power generation and (5) fuel cell, etc., for the well head, oil (gas) transportation station, communication relay point, meteorological station and sentry post, etc., in Xinjiang Talimu gas field situated in the remote electricitiless district - the upstream fountainhead of the west-to-east gas transmission project where the consumed electricity capacity is small but it is necessary to maintain a continuous electric power supply (such as communication and cathodic protection, etc.), are presented. The determination of the electric power source in the practical engineering design in the light of the load power, importance, environmental condition, resources and fuel-supply condition and in view of the reliability, work load for repair and maintenance and service life of the electricity-generating set, as well as the economic reasonableness, is presented also.
