КОНЦЕПЦІЯ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ БЕЗПЕКИ ВУЗЛІВ РОЗПОДІЛЬНОЇ ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНОЇ ІНФРАСТРУКТУРИ УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

The issue of one of the problems that arose in the energy infrastructure of Ukraine as a result of the regular destruction of its facilities during the war is considered. It concerns ways of increasing the security of nodes of the distribution system of the energy infrastructure of Ukraine during its further restoration and modernization. An overview of the relevant issues that arise when using different methods to achieve the set goal is made. The importance of the problem of protection of electrical substations of the energy distribution infrastructure and the need for appropriate research and development to create an optimal method of protection are indicated. The urgency of developing a method and means of protection of an important element of substations (power transformer) is noted. One of the variants of the optimal concept of the corresponding protection is described. It provides for the location of transformers in an earthen niche, accordingly formed and decorated with auxiliary elements. This option is simple, technological and economically beneficial. This method of protecting transformers should protect them from fragments of explosive devices and blast waves. The proposed concept has room for improvement. Ref. 4, fig. 2.
