Increasing the parameters of electrical distribution networks of town districts with low load density

Abstract

This article presents the results of research on the parameters of electrical networks with a voltage of 6 (10) and 0.38 kV in relation to capital investments. The analysis of existing methods of estimation of parameters before designing for power supply networks in a small town with low load density is carried out. In modern conditions, in the distribution of electrical networks is of paramount importance the introduction of energy-saving schemes and parameters of power supply systems. One of the main ways to implement them is to increase the efficiency of 6-10 / 0.38 kV networks. In the actual design of electrical networks, economic proportionality can not always be maintained for various reasons: the impact of technical constraints, the discreteness of the rated power of transformers and cable crossing scales, a significant deviation of individual capacities of consumers from the average value. In that case there is an increase in the reduced costs. A methodology for determining the optimal power of transformer substations and optimal sections of 0.38 kV power transmission lines is proposed, taking into account the probable nature of the applied load. When assembling the power supply circuit for the optimal form of parameters, voltage, principles of voltage regulation and reactive power compensation. Decisions of this kind are substantiated by technical and economic comparisons of a series of technically acceptable variants of power supply networks. An important measure that facilitates the selection of the most economical option is the assessment of the proposed project, which relates to the selection of the optimal capacity of transformer substation (TS) networks using calculation formulas. The aim of the research was to improve the existing methods on the basis of separate accounting of the reliability coefficient of 0.38 kV and 6-10 kV network.
