Development of a Solar Power Plant for Heating an Oil Pipeline for High-Temperature Climatic Conditions

The goal of the research is to develop a solar power plant for heating an oil pipeline for high-temperature climatic conditions. The object of study is a solar power plant. The objectives of the research are to study the location of the object and climate; analysis of the main electrical equipment of a solar power plant and selection of the most promising and suitable; calculation of the number of basic equipment, the number of solar panels and the area of the solar power plant. As a result of the study, a methodology for a power supply system based on solar energy was developed and justified. This technique can be used to calculate a similar system. The practical significance of the results of the work lies in the possibility of using the resulting calculation for the development of power supply systems.
