Justification of the Joint Use of Partitioning Tools and Mobile Energy Platforms for Reserving Electricity Supply to Rural Consumers

Abstract

A significant recovery time in case of power line failures of 0.4 kilovolts, reaching from 1.88 to 5.33 hours, is unjustified. Large values of intentional (planned) outages (up to 13.6 hours) and the number of intentional outages (from 5.2 to 13.8 years–1 per 100 km) show the urgency of finding solutions to reduce them. One of the solutions in this case may be the joint use of partitioning and redundancy tools, monitoring and mobile energy platforms. Currently, this issue has not been fully investigated. (Research purpose) The research purpose is justifying the joint use of partitioning tools and mobile energy platforms for reserving electricity supply to rural consumers. (Materials and methods) Used data from a literature review on the values of the time of interruptions in power supply during emergency and planned outages in 0.4 kilovolt electrical networks, monitoring tools, partitioning and reserving power supply to rural consumers. The method of situational modeling was applied to identify the features of the joint use of partitioning tools and mobile energy platforms for reserving electricity supply to rural consumers. (Results and discussion) We performed situational modeling of reserving power supply to consumers using mobile power platforms without localization and with localization of sections of power lines by means of partitioning and redundancy, which showed the relevance of the method of sharing means of partitioning, monitoring and mobile power platforms for reserving power supply to rural consumers. (Conclusions) It has been shown that the joint use of partitioning, monitoring and mobile energy platforms for reserving power supply to rural consumers can reduce the time of planned and emergency interruptions in power supply to rural consumers
