The main aim of the paper is to study both operational and energy characteristics of the transformer device that implements output voltage longitudinal-transverse regulation principle relative to the input based on power electronics. The most significant research results can be considered new developed circuit design and method for windings sectioning, including their regulating control strategy. The obtained computational experiments results based on developed structural simulation models of the booster transformer demonstrated effectiveness of the proposed device technical solution and its control strategy in terms of significant expansion of the output voltage range both in magnitude and in phase. It is shown that the proposed technical solution provides greater possibilities for phase voltage regulation (relative to the UPFC and “Sen” transformer) with the same restrictions on the longitudinal and transverse components of the boost voltage. Vector diagrams of the studded device were constructed and expressions characterizing its operating parameters were obtained. The characteristics of the device parameters variation in both idle and load mode were obtained and analyzed. The significance of the obtained results consisting in fact, that the proposed technical solution is capable to provide the same control actions in the form of an adjustable additional voltage as FACTS controllers such as UPFC and “Sen” - transformer, but on a simpler basis that is more accessible to practical implementation.","PeriodicalId":513446,"journal":{"name":"Problems of the Regional Energetics","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141845388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They bring imbalance to the energy system. Frequency control is carried out using powerful steam turbines. To ensure reliable and efficient operation of powerful steam turbines, it is important to understand the processes occurring in the last stages of the low pres-sure cylinder. At present, there is no approach to determining the idle mode (the moment of transition from the generation of mechanical power to its consumption) for large fanning stages. The purpose of the work is to develop an approach to estimating the relative volumetric steam flow rate of steam for large fanning stages, which characterizes the idle mode. This goal is achieved by developing a dependence to determine the idle mode for large fanning stages at nominal operating mode in a compressible medium using the results of an experimental study of model stages for high power turbines. The most important result is the satisfactory agreement between the values of volume flow rate obtained during the calculation, using the proposed method, with experimentally studies for the T-250/300-240 turbine last stage. The calculation error is about 3%. The significance of the results obtained is that the proposed approach allows determining the idle mode of the low pressure cylinder stages of steam turbines quickly and ac-curately during operation and design, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency and reli-ability of power units.","PeriodicalId":513446,"journal":{"name":"Problems of the Regional Energetics","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141842224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve the goal of the research fuzzy cellular automata are used, combining the advantages inherent in traditional cellular automata and provided by the capabilities of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic. The cable location uncertainty is caused by possible earthquakes, turbulent currents, random impacts of anchors or fishing gear, cable fouling by marine vegetation and terrorist attacks. The developed approach allows to synthesise a Pareto-optimal vehicle route along the estimated coordinates of the object of study, providing minimum fuel consumption for minimum cable inspection time and satisfying the given system of constraints. Formal models are based on the use of fuzzy cellular automata, which are used to describe the three-dimensional model of the operating environment, zones and objects that hinder or limit the movement, and the behaviour of the underwater vehicle. The most significant results are the formal description of the problem solution space, and the method of modelling the route of an autonomous underwater vehicle in space to improve the efficiency and quality of the solution of the problem of monitoring the state of the object of interest. The significance of the results obtained is the possibility of solving a complex multi-criteria optimisation problem of finding the route of an autonomous underwater vehicle to monitor the cable system in three-dimensional space.","PeriodicalId":513446,"journal":{"name":"Problems of the Regional Energetics","volume":"52 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141847755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
