Ensuring energy-efficient work modes in electrical supply systems of industrial and civil facilities by voltage regulation

Abstract

The development of voltage regulation methods in the energy supply system of industrial and civil facilities using continuous and discrete sources of reactive power, tap-changer of GPP transformers and PBZ of shop transformers is an urgent task. It allows maintaining energy-efficient modes of powerconsuming equipment, elements of power supply and power consumption systems and reduce financial expenses for payment for electric energy. The article presents approaches to solving the task of determining energy-efficient voltage levels at different hierarchical levels of the power supply system and ensuring them by using voltage regulators (TAPs) of GPP transformers, PBZ switches of workshop transformers, as well as power regulation of reactive power sources. For the calculation of energy-efficient voltages, an appropriate algorithm has been developed, which provides the separate execution of operations for calculating the parameters of the current mode of the power supply system and its optimization. This allows to monitor the state of the power supply system and ensure the maximum efficiency of the use of voltage regulation devices. A method of determining the static load characteristics of asynchronous motors by voltage is proposed, taking into account their design features, mechanical load characteristics and magnetizing currents. A method of de termining the static characteristics of the load by voltage at the levels of the shop transformer, RP and GPP has been developed. With the use of the MATLAB/SIMULINK package, calculation studies of static characteristics by voltage at different levels of the hierarchical power supply system were carried out. The selection of the method for calculating the modes of shop and distribution electric networks of an industrial enterprise was reasoned. The static characteristics of the load according to the voltage, the action of the voltage regulators of the GPP trans formers, the position of the PBZ of the shop transformers, the power of the reactive power sources were taken into account. Algorithm for controlling discrete and continuous sources of reactive power and voltage regulators of GPP transformers was proposed taking into account static load characteristics to ensure energy-efficient operation modes of shop and distribution electrical networks of an industrial enterprise.
