SiPS (Arbequina)
The SiPS (Arbequina) systems feature architectures designed to ensure reliable power supply in critical environments by combining different energy sources and voltage levels.
1. SIPS Generation Architecture (PV + Grid)
This system is primarily based on photovoltaic (PV) energy integrated with the distribution grid. It includes AC/DC converters and switching mechanisms (TDO1, TDC1) to prioritize energy sources and ensure continuity of supply. A truth table defines the different operating modes (autonomy, grid-assisted operation, permanent operation), depending on energy availability and input configuration (e1, e2, e3).
2. SIPS Architecture (PV + Fuel Cell + Grid)
This architecture builds on the previous system by adding a fuel cell as a complementary energy source. It enables more advanced energy management: PV can directly supply loads or charge the fuel cell, which acts as backup when solar generation is insufficient. The grid is also considered as a third support level. The included tables define operating scenarios based on photovoltaic surplus and fuel cell capacity, as well as switching priorities.
