Cost-effective use of autonomous power sources

Abstract

Introduction: the chapter “Introduction” contains information on the economic benefits of building your own sources of heat and electricity. Methods: the chapter “Methods” presents natural gas as the main fuel resource of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the expediency of the use of gas piston and gas turbine installations is emphasized. It is also noted that the gas piston unit (GPU) has the highest efficiency. In confirmation of this statement is a brief calculation of the efficiency of this installation. Results and discussions: this chapter discusses the effectiveness of the use of a gas piston cogeneration plant on the example of a company engaged in the processing of recycled metal. Based on the electricity consumption graph, it shows the uneven use of energy during the day. In accordance with the data obtained, the average load of the GPU and its capacity are determined. Based on the available source data, the calculation of the cost of maintaining the GPU and the production of electrical and thermal energy. Also in the chapter “Results and Discussions” it is emphasized that in developing the prozhect, it is necessary to involve the design organization, which will make a complete survey of the obzhect, study the annual energy consumption graphs, determine the necessary equipment and the volume of construction and installation work. At the same time, this chapter focuses on the fact that additional savings are provided by attracting leasing equipment purchase schemes. Conclusion: in the chapter “Conclusions” it is noted that the relevance and efficiency of the autonomous power supply additionally provides not only financial benefits, but also allows, in a shorter time, to provide obzhects with energy, to increase capacity in addition to the existing ones and to avoid unpredictable energy suppliers tariffs.
