MÉTODO PARA FORNECER ENERGIA ELÉTRICA PARA DIVERSOS DISPOSITIVOS QUE CONSOMEM ENERGIA EM UM POÇO SUBTERRÂNEO, E, SISTEMA DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA

摘要

An optical power distribution system and method permits multiple power consuming devices to be selectively supplied with power using a single fiber optic line. In a described embodiment, multiple electrical power consuming well tools are interconnected to a fiber optic line extending into a well. Control modules are interconnected between the fiber optic line and the well tools. When a particular optical wavelength band is transmitted through the fiber optic line, a corresponding one of the control modules causes the respective well tool to be selected for electrical power to be supplied thereto.
