RISK ASSESSMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXEMPLIFIED TERRITORIES

2024-03-28T11:26:55+02:00

The paper explores the risks associated with exempted and liberated territories that were previously used for certain industrial, commercial, agricultural or other activities. Such territories were captured or used by military forces during the war and then liberated or abandoned and left unattended, or were disturbed by natural disasters, man-made accidents, etc. The aim of the article is to analyze the possibility of their further use and rehabilitation.

The following indicators of risk sources can be identified in such areas: presence of explosive objects; level of soil and water contamination; presence of chemical, biological or radiation contamination; degree of damage to infrastructure and building structures; risk of dangerous situations and accidents; impact on the health and safety of the local population; possibility of spreading infectious diseases; presence of unexploded or uncontrolled explosive materials; risk of re-invasion by enemy forces; potential environmental damage; and potential environmental impact. Based on the analysis of these indicators, they were summarized and grouped into six main risk indicators: demining of territories; efficiency of demining and disposal of remnants of military equipment, mines, etc.; safety and efficiency of demining and disposal technologies; degree of contamination of the demined territories after demining and disposal; level of safety assessment of the population living in these territories; return of vital infrastructure. An expert assessment methodology was applied, which includes an analysis of the severity of the consequences and the likelihood of their occurrence. The risks were ranked using the method of pairwise comparisons. The results of the study can be used to develop strategies for the further use and rehabilitation of the affected areas.

The results of the study indicate the need for systematic monitoring and control of the exempted and liberated territories in order to prevent possible environmental and socio-economic problems. To ensure sustainable development and conservation of natural resources, due attention should be paid to the issues of environmental safety and rehabilitation of these territories. Further research in this area will allow developing more effective strategies for the use and rehabilitation of exempted areas, taking into account current environmental and socio-economic challenges.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT: NEW PRIORITIES OF THE 21ST CENTURY

2024-01-29T09:36:30+02:00

The development of management methodology and the concept of energy management in modern conditions of transforming the energy sector by the requirements of the carbon-free economy are considered. New qualitative features and new areas of application of energy management and energy management systems (EMS) in the implementation of the energy transition and implementation of the Smart Grid concept have been revealed. It has been established that modern energy management is a proactive, organized, and systematic coordination of the purchase, transformation, distribution, and use of energy to meet requirements, taking into account environmental and economic goals. In contrast to the formation of the EMS according to the ISO 50000 series of standards, today the construction of the EMS is becoming more relevant, which provides systemic (complex) optimization of the parameters, structure, and modes of various technical objects according to a set of technical, economic and environmental criteria.

It is shown that EMS is much more than a simple technical solution for monitoring the parameters and state of energy systems. With comprehensive forecasts of energy demand and supply, this system takes energy management to a completely new level, allowing operators of facilities (enterprises, buildings, and smart networks and systems) to determine the strategic direction of energy management, implement it, and achieve both energy efficiency and energy availability and environmental (social) acceptability. The components of EMS for Smart Grid are characterized, in particular: monitoring (actual energy production, actual energy demand, state of charge of energy storage, price uncertainty); forecast (energy production, energy demand, mobile data storage, uncertainty); power quality management (loss minimization, power quality indicators, and reliability/comfort); planning/dispatch/cost (operating costs, reduction of GHG emissions, profit maximization).

It is proposed that a promising direction is to consider the SEM as a system of information and communication technologies, which at the system level is combined with power energy processes used by operators of electric power systems and networks to monitor, control, and optimize the productivity of production, transmission, and consumption of energy resources in systems of various hierarchical levels. level (as UES of Ukraine, regional and local systems, on specific energy facilities or individual energy technologies, etc.). Based on the analysis of prospective areas of application of EMS at energy sector facilities, modern areas of scientific and technical research in the construction of energy management systems for energy, electric power, and electrotechnical systems, which are practical to carry out in Ukraine, have been determined.

REGIONAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS BASED ON ESCOs: FEATURES OF CREATION AND APPLICATION

2024-01-29T09:51:15+02:00

Excessive consumption and inefficient use of fuel and energy resources, unsatisfactorily high energy intensity of production of goods and services and their associated low competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets, in the context of a shortage of own energy resources and constant growth of prices for them, puts the problem of improving energy efficiency and energy saving of the regional and, as a result, national economy in the category of primary importance and relevance. The solution to this problem is achieved by creating a regional energy management system in regions (districts) on the platform of regional energy service companies, which allows, through a unified energy policy for the development and implementation of energy efficiency and energy saving projects in the region and the introduction of renewable energy sources, to more effectively address the problems of attracting foreign investment in the recovery and innovative development of the regional economy.

THERMODYNAMIC IMPERATIVES THE MODERNIZATION OF THE ELECTRIC DRIVE OF PUMP UNITS OF THE CENTRALIZED HEAT SUPPLY NETWORK IN THE CONTEXT OF INCREASEING ENERGY EFFICIENCY

2024-01-29T11:37:49+02:00

The relationship between thermodynamic and hydraulic parameters of the heat supply network has been established. The dependence of the electric power consumed by the electric drive of the pump unit on the pressure and supply of the coolant was determined. It is proved that the regulated electric drive system has advantages over the non-regulated electric drive system in the context of energy efficiency of the pumping unit and the district heating network in general. Approaches and criteria for the synthesis of a regulated electric drive system, including its automatic control system, were determined, regulation methods were analyzed, and the most acceptable version of the electric drive was chosen: a controlled frequency converter - an asynchronous motor with a short-circuited rotor, taking into account the above, an energy-saving mechanical system of a centralized heat supply network was synthesized. The peculiarity of this system is that the protection of parameters of hydraulic and temperature regimes in the network of centralized heat supply is ensured with the help of extreme automatic control systems. At the same time, the assignment of mode parameters is provided by the temperature controller of the heat exchange point of the network. Regulation of the pressure and productivity of the pumping unit is carried out by changing, according to a certain law, the frequency and power supply of the asynchronous motor.

FORMALIZATION OF THE PROCEDURE FOR ASSESSING THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY EFFICIENCY IN WORKSHOP NETWORKS OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

2024-01-30T09:57:54+02:00

There is defined that the efficiency of workshop power supply networks largely determines the efficiency of the power supply system of the industrial enterprise as a whole and is determined by minimizing the reduced costs, which have two components: capital investments and the cost of electricity losses in workshop networks. Calculating the reduced costs during a technical and economic comparison of options is a labor-intensive task, since there is a large variability in the choice of circuit design, the choice of cross-sections of the conductors of the supply and distribution workshop network, as well as taking into account the design features of the workshop network.

The analysis of the characteristics of the efficiency factors of workshop power supply was carried out. The basic components of the effective functioning of the workshoppower supply circuit are identified, namely: discreteness of electrical equipment; its placement in the workshop; operating modes of current-using equipment (CUE); loading schedule; ratio of the cost of electricity and the unit cost of workshop network elements.

There has been determined that in any workshop power supply scheme, the duration of switching CUE on the electric power supply (CUE with a constant and variable operating mode), as well as the shape of the load schedule, largely determines the efficiency of its operation.

Obtained results of a numerical experiment, when performing design of workshop networks in the DIPROPROM design institution (Zaporozhye), showed the effectiveness (3-7%) in determining the operational characteristics of workshop networks in comparison with existing engineering methods.

ENSURING THE THREAD CAPACITY OF ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION LINES UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR RESERVATION

2024-01-30T10:08:11+02:00

A method of increasing the power transmission capacity in the post-emergency mode is considered, when a redundant line is connected to one of the working power transmission lines (LEP) with a voltage of 10 kV using the point of automatic switching on of the reserve (AVR). The effectiveness of such redundancy in most cases turns out to be low due to the limited capacity of trunk sections of mutually reserved lines with smaller cross-sections of wires at the end sections of these lines, which were built as radial lines. This leads to increased losses of active power and voltage, and, as a result, unacceptable deviation of voltage in remote load nodes of the redundant power transmission line. In order to improve the parameters of the operation mode of power transmission, it is proposed to use devices of longitudinal capacitive compensation and reactive power compensation in the scheme of the AVR point. An assessment of the effectiveness of the proposed measure was made.

MODELING OF PROSUMER LOAD PROFILES BASED ON BEHAVIORAL APPROACH

2024-01-30T10:13:09+02:00

The article analyzes various approaches to the modeling of daily electricity load schedules and proposes a methodology for improving the "bottom-up" behavioral model of the load of household consumers. The method is based on averaging generated random load schedules for a given type of household on a particular day of the year. Averaging is carried out by season and length of daylight. Next, working days and weekends are distinguished in each interval. Despite some differences, this work does not separate holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays to avoid unnecessary details. The selected parameters for dividing the averaging intervals allow you to obtain a relatively compact set of model data and, at the same time, preserve the features of the load on different days of the year and hours of the day. Household load profiles with varying steps of day distribution and the main difference of such distribution are considered. Models that more accurately convey the sporadic nature of prosumer consumption compared to typical load schedules are built for two types of households. A detailed analysis of the averaged load graphs was carried out in comparison with the typical graph and the generated load graphs. Averaged load schedules are suitable for modeling the operating modes and control algorithms of the prosumer energy generation and storage system.

GUARANTEED ORIGIN OF ELECTRICITY IN THE LOCAL POWER SYSTEM WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

2024-01-30T10:33:57+02:00

The article is focused on the development of a method for determining the part of electricity generated by renewable energy sources (RES) in the electricity flows in the branches of the electric grid. The method is based on a mathematical model of the electric grid, in which the coefficients of current distribution in the branches of the circuit from RES nodes and nodal voltages are used to determine the electricity flows in the branches of the electric grid. As a result, a matrix of power distribution coefficients of RES generation units to load nodes of the power grid is formed. This way, the component of the load power that depends on the power in the RES nodes is determined. The voltages used to form the RES power distribution matrix are determined based on the results of calculating the steady-state modes of the power grid or on the measurement data of the ACEMS.

Since the forming of local electric power systems (LES) based on RES is actual, the article considers LES as a balancing group within the electric power system (EPS), which can operate as an autonomous system according to certain conditions. It is shown that for this purpose, a RES reservation system should be created in the power system due to their dependence on natural conditions and, accordingly, the instability of their electricity generation. When a transmission system operates as part of an EPS, a general system reserve is usually used (mainly maneuverable capacities of thermal and hydroelectric power plants). In order for the LES can operate as an autonomous one, it is proposed to use other means of power reserve available today: electrochemical energy storage, hydrogen and biogas technologies. An effective way is to coordinate the schedules of RES generation in the LES with the load schedules of active consumers.

The example shows that in the case of a power deficit in the LES, RES located in the power grid can be used. The values of the necessary power at the LES connection node, power flows in the branches connecting the LES and RES grid, and power losses in them are determined by the offered method.

SPEED CONTROL OF PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR IN SLIDING MODE

2024-01-30T09:25:14+02:00

The paper examines a series of speed control algorithms for a synchronous permanent magnet motor in sliding mode, providing asymptotic stability of the first, second, and third order. In the sliding mode, the control system exhibits properties that are unattainable with classical continuous control algorithms. The control algorithms are developed based on the inverse dynamics method combined with the minimization of local instantaneous energy functionals. The key idea of the method lies in the reversibility of the direct Lyapunov method for stability analysis. The closed-loop control system has a predefined Lyapunov function, represented by the instantaneous energy. Notably, the control algorithms do not require knowledge of the object's parameters or differentiation operations, which facilitates their practical implementation. The regulator parameters consist solely of coefficients used to specify the desired duration and shape of current and motor speed transient processes. The vector speed control system comprises two controllers for the stator current components and the motor speed controller. All regulators operate in sliding mode. The output signals of the stator current component controllers and speed vary discontinuously from maximum to minimum values. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and high-quality performance of the control algorithms. To determine the control performance indicators for the three synthesized speed controllers, the motor startup trajectory is formed from characteristic segments of constant, linearly increasing, and parabolic signals. The speed control algorithm with a first-order asymptote ensures zero tracking error only for a constant reference signal. With a linearly increasing reference signal, the steady-state relative tracking error is 2,5 %, while for a parabolic reference signal, the error varies between zero and 2,5 %. The second-order asymptotic speed control algorithm ensures zero steady-state tracking error for constant and linearly increasing reference signals, and for a parabolic reference signal, the steady-state relative tracking error is 0,125 %. The third-order asymptotic speed control algorithm ensures zero steady-state tracking error for constant, linearly increasing, and parabolic reference signals, with a maximum dynamic relative tracking error of 0,05 %.

2024-01-30T09:40:02+02:00

The article shows the process of building a model of the frequency converter control system for a ship's autonomous power system. This task was solved to simplify the mathematical description of the frequency converter for the ship's autonomous power system. As a result, a mathematical set of probable combinations of operating states of power switches and the corresponding values of generalised voltage vectors of the autonomous inverter using pulse width modulation were obtained. The modelling carried out on the basis of this data confirmed the correspondence of the obtained values of the phase voltage of the autonomous inverter to real energy processes. It is shown that it is important to further study the technical and methodological factors of increasing energy efficiency and the accuracy of the mathematical description of real links of power systems, which will ensure the process of a more qualitative study of energy processes in them.

COMPREHENSIVE CONDITION ANALYSIS AND PERSPECTIVES OF ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE ACCORDING TO THE SMART GRID CONCEPT

2024-01-30T10:48:55+02:00

The article examines development trends of the energy complex of Ukraine, possibility and prospects of creating a modern energy complex through the use of an innovative technical base for energy management in accordance with the Smart Grid concept. The general properties of Smart Grid technology and its main advantages are given by authors. It is shown that within the framework of the Smart Grid concept, the intelligent electric power system is considered as a single network of information and control systems. The process of electric power industry modernization in the direction of the creation of "smart" power supply networks in a number of European countries, which aims to ensure stable development, economic growth, growth of living standards and protection of the natural environment, is considered. The paper describes modernization methods of the electric power complex of Ukraine based on foreign experience. It is shown that from the point of view of energy security and sustainable development, Smart Grid is able to ensure the operation of the power grid even in case of damage or destruction of one segment, which is a key advantage during post-war reconstruction. They will also make it possible to effectively integrate renewable generation and energy storage systems into the grid, as well as provide auxiliary services for forecasting the power system operation. The paper analyzes the problematic issues of implementing the Smart Grid concept in Ukraine. They include the lack of technological solutions and methods that provide an effective algorithm for determining the state of power networks cyber security; large length of power distribution networks and insufficiently developed infrastructure. A comparative description of the existing energy systems functional properties and energy systems based on the Smart Grid concept is presented in general. An analysis of possible ways of electric power industry development was carried out, which showed the presence of serious limitations of electric power industry development within the framework of the former concept, based mainly on the improvement of certain types of equipment and technologies. It is shown that Ukraine is at the initial familiarization and formation stage of the first organizational initiatives for Smart Grid, namely the implementation of the government-approved Concept of the "smart grids" introduction in Ukraine for the period up to 2035. The purpose and expected results of this Concept implementation are considered.

ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION OF HEAT CONDUCTIVITY FOR DAMAGED THERMAL INSULATION OF PIPELINES

2024-01-30T10:55:25+02:00

For heat supply systems of Ukraine, the determination and forecasting of thermal energy losses during the transportation of heat carrier is an urgent problem. The thermal lines of the heating networks are long and its insulation is damaged. Installation of heat energy metering devices at all sources and all consumers (i.e. buildings) without exception allows determining and forecasting real heat losses in the heat network, but this is a difficult task, not all consumers and sources are actually covered by heat consumption accounting. The task of determining heat losses is also relevant for energy management systems of heat supply systems, energy companies and industry. The solution to the problem is proposed by a separate mathematical modeling of the temperature state of the section of the damaged insulating layer with the determination of the heat flow through it. It is proposed to solve the problem by the method of analytical solution of the differential equation of heat conduction with boundary conditions of the third kind. With the uniform distribution of characteristic damages along the total length of the pipeline, knowing the limits of damage influence, the share of insulation damage and the number of damages on the pipeline, it is possible to determine the real heat flow from the outer surface of the pipelines, including coefficient of increase of heat losses on the section of the heat pipe in relation to those determined by regulatory documents. Traditionally, one-dimensional models or determinations of the two-dimensional temperature field and actual heat fluxes in a cross-section to the axis of a characteristic damaged section of insulation are considered. But this does not take into account the two-dimensionality of the temperature field of the damaged layer of insulation along the length (that is, along the axis) of the pipeline. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for determining heat losses through pipelines, taking into account the damage to their insulation and the distribution of characteristic damages along the length. The following simulation was carried out for one of the areas. Also, experimental and numerical studies using the finite difference method in combination with the method of running variable directions for similar models confirmed the coincidence of the analytical solution of the proposed model and the finite difference model within the permissible error.
