Opportunities for rationalization the electricity consumption of a port complex

Abstract

The research on the different characteristics of the power supply system (PSS) of a port complex is done in order to identify measures to improve the operating modes. In general, the features and requirements for the power supply and electrical equipment of the site are presented and the main energy parameters of the main consumers are marked. A theoretical formulation of the study has been synthesized, giving the opportunity to make an analysis of the characteristic coefficients of energy consumption and the additional power losses from the unevenness of the load schedule. A total of seven power substations and 11 outputs were examined and the measurements were performed with professional network analyzers. The results are presented in tabular form and provide an opportunity to make a thorough analysis of the state of the PSS of the site. Based on them, technological solutions can be offered to rationalize the electricity supply and achieve savings in electricity.
