Development of ACS Elements Training Complexes of the Power Equipment for the Increase of Its Reliability

The article deals with the current issue of solving problems related to process control. An important role in solving these problems is played by the training process for students and employees of enterprises, which allows simulating the operation of real equipment. Volzhsky branch of Moscow Power Engeneering Institute (MPEI) developed simulators for studying the combination of alternative and renewable sources of electric and thermal energy and a training complex for means of control, automatic regulation and technological protection. The field equipment promotes to visually demonstrate functioning of existing equipment to students, including during laboratory work. The withdrawal of equipment to all modes is not possible for technological reasons and due to the random nature of weather conditions. The simulator of a geothermal heat pump was developed based on the mathematical models of the geothermal heat pump system elements. Comparison of the experimental and simulated values shows sufficient convergence, which indicates the correctness of the mathematical model and allows us to recommend it to practical application.
