DEVELOPMENT OF THE PORTABLE PHOTOVOLTAIC SOURCE FOR USE OF THE ARMED FORCES


PORTABLE PHOTOVOLTAIC SOURCE

Description

Objectives: Development of a rechargeable photovoltaic source based on solar panels, modular, that meets the characteristics of economy, portability and functionality, which provides the basic energy to supply electrical power to the main communication equipment used by mobile patrols in areas rural.

Results achieved: The project patent is achieved through Resolution No. 23666 S.I.C

Generated impact: When developing this device, it is intended to optimize the processes and procedures developed by the operational groups, both police and military, in areas of the national territory where there are no electric power supplies, to supply electronic and communications equipment as radios and computers used by members of the public force that will have enough energy to maintain constant communication.

  • Remote and rural communities
  • Military and Police Forces

Replicability

The project is replicable, to be used in remote communities, for the benefit of the Military and Police Forces. It allows to support the development of communities.


Sustainability

The project is sustainable, since its maintenance cost is minimal and this work can be supported by the Police units in the Telematics specialty, throughout the Colombian territory.


WSIS values promotion

The project called "Development Of The Portable Photovoltaic Source For Use Of The Armed Forces" is framed in the WSIS values; which emphasize that the Information Society by ordinance must respect peace. Likewise, fundamental values such as freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, shared responsibility and respect for nature are promoted. Therefore, this project makes use of clean energy and emphasizes its fundamental axis related to the values mentioned above, such as respect for nature. This project seeks the implementation of modular solar panel technology, which has features of functionality and portability which collects solar energy and transforms it, feeding electronic devices in the most remote places of the Colombian geography and in turn can be implemented for the Forces Military and Police.
