Prospects for the implementation of autonomous power supply systems of agro-industrial production

Abstract

Annotation Purpose. Improving the efficiency of agricultural production by creating a reliable autonomous power supply system based on natural and own renewable energy sources. Methods. Methods of system analysis and design of technical systems. Results. Principles of building an effective system for the use of natural and own renewable energy sources in agriculture. The general structure and parameters of the energy supply system of agricultural production. Conclusions 1. According to the energy strategy, Ukraine by 2030 should increase the share of renewable energy in its overall energy balance by almost 3 times – from 8 to 25%. 2. One of the real ways to increase the reliability and efficiency of electricity supply of agricultural facilities is the transition to autonomous energy supply systems based on the use of their own renewable energy sources with a relative production cost within 0.43–0.98 of the cost of centralized electricity production. 3. The structure of a specific power supply system of the agro-industrial sector should be formed on the basis of the characteristics of production and household needs, assessment of the potential and characteristics of renewable energy sources and conditions of safe, cost-effective operation. Keywords: agricultural production, renewable energy, ecology, efficiency.
