GLOSARIO-SISTEMA DE PODER

Diesel-electric rig (plataforma disel-electrica): are those in which the main rig
engines are used to generate electricity. (Son aquellas en los que los motores de la
plataforma principal se utilizan para generar electricidad.)

Direct-drive rig (plataforma de accionamiento directo): they accomplish power

transmission from the internal combustion engines using gears, chains, belts, and clutches
rather than generators and motors. (Logran la transmisin de potencia de los motores de
combustin interna utilizando engranajes, cadenas, correas y embragues en lugar de
generadores y motores)

Internal-combustion diesel engines (motores diesel de combustin interna):

Internal combustion thermal engine whose ignition is achieved by the high temperature
produced by the compression of the air inside the cylinder. (Motor Trmico de combustin
interna cuyo encendido se logra por la temperatura elevada que produce la compresin
del aire en el interior del cilindro.)

Power System (Sistema de poder):
