The paper suggests the methodology to assess the reliability of both the heat network schemes under design and the existing heat network schemes, that allows to determine availability factor and failure-free operation probability on the basis of the input data including the length, diameter and exploitation time of pipeline segments of the heat networks. As a result of the research, the additional factors that have a significant impact on the reliability of heat supply to consumers have been determined. The impact of these factors on the heat network reliability relying on the experimental data provided by regional heat supply organizations has been assessed. Additional factors were taken into account when developing a new methodology and algorithm for calculating heat supply reliability indices. The program for calculating the consumer heat supply reliability is worked out.

Источником информации о техническом состоянии трубопроводов тепловых сетей объектов магистральных нефтепроводов ПАО «Транснефть» являются результаты их обслуживания и ремонта, технического освидетельствования, гидравлических испытаний и т. д. На основании этих данных проводятся расчеты показателей надежности, по итогам анализа которых осуществляется планирование дальнейшего технического обслуживания и ремонта. Однако при оценке надежности систем теплоснабжения необходимо учитывать не только срок эксплуатации и величину амортизационного износа, но и реальное состояние в конкретных условиях функционирования. Учесть многообразие факторов, которые влияют на работоспособность трубопроводов системы теплоснабжения, и тем самым повысить точность расчетов при оценке их остаточного ресурса позволяет применение кластерного анализа в дополнение к используемой методике оценки надежности тепловых сетей. В рамках настоящей работы оценка надежности объектов АО «Связьтранснефть» с применением кластерного анализа проведена на примере равнозначных участков тепловых сетей двух узлов связи, расположенных в Краснодарском крае и Республике Саха (Якутия). Currently, information about technical condition of pipelines of heat supply systems at the facilities of the main oil pipelines of PJSC Transneft is formed based on the results of maintenance and repair, technical inspection, hydraulic tests, etc. Upon these data, calculations of reliability indicators of heat networks are carried out, based on the analysis of calculations further maintenance and repairs are planned. However, when assessing the reliability of heat supply systems, it is necessary to take into account not only the service life and the amount of depreciation wear of heat network elements, but also their real state in specific operating conditions. The use of cluster analysis in addition to the currently used method of heat network reliability assessment allows us to take into account the variety of factors that affect the operability of pipelines of the heat supply system, and thereby increase the accuracy of calculations when assessing their residual resource. Within the framework of this work, the reliability assessment of Svyaztransneft JSC facilities using cluster analysis was carried out on the example of equivalent sections of heat networks of two communication nodes located in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The paper deals with the problem of comprehensive analysis of heat supply reliability for consumers. It implies a quantitative assessment of the impact of all stages of heat energy production and distribution on heat supply reliability for each consumer of the heat supply system. A short review of existing methods for the analysis of fuel and heat supply reliability is presented that substantiates the key approaches to solving the problem of comprehensive analysis of heat supply reliability. A methodological approach is suggested, in which mathematical models and methods for nodal evaluation of heat supply reliability for consumers are developed and the studies on the impact of different elements of fuel and heat supply systems on its level are described. Mathematical modeling is based on the Markov random processes, models of flow distribution in a heat network, deterministic dependences of thermal processes of heat energy consumption and some other models.

Modern power distribution networks assume the connection of Distributed Generators (DGs) and energy storage systems as well as the application of advanced demand management techniques. After a network fault these technologies and techniques can contribute individually to the supply restoration of the interrupted areas and help improve the network reliability. However, the optimal coordination of control actions between these resources will lead to their most efficient use, maximizing the network reliability improvement. Until now, the effect of such networks with optimal coordination has not been considered in reliability studies. In this paper, DGs, energy storage and demand management techniques are jointly modelled and evaluated for reliability assessment. A novel methodology is proposed for the calculation of the reliability indices. It evaluates the optimal coordination of energy storage and demand management in order to reduce the energy-not-supplied during outages. The formulation proposed for the calculation of the reliability indices (including the modelling of optimal coordination) is described in detail. The methodology is applied to two distribution systems combining DGs, energy storage and demand management. Results demonstrate the capability of the proposed method to assess the reliability of such type of networks and emphasise the impact of the optimal coordination on reliability.

Electricity-distribution network operators face several operational constraints in the provision of safe and reliable power given that investments for network area reinforcement must be commensurate with improvements in network reliability. This paper provides an integrated approach for assessing the impact of different operational constraints on distribution-network reliability by incorporating component lifetime models, time-varying component failure rates, as well as the monetary cost of customer interruptions in an all-inclusive probabilistic methodology that applies a time-sequential Monte Carlo simulation. A test distribution network based on the Roy Billinton test system was modelled to investigate the system performance when overloading limits are exceeded as well as when preventive maintenance is performed. Standard reliability indices measuring the frequency and duration of interruptions and the energy not supplied were complemented with a novel monetary reliability index. The comprehensive assessment includes not only average indices but also their probability distributions to adequately describe the risk of customer interruptions. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of this holistic approach, as the impacts of operational decisions are assessed from both reliability and monetary perspectives. This informs network planning decisions through optimum investments and consideration of customer outage costs.

Network reliability is one of the most important concepts in this modern era. Reliability characteristics, component significance measures, such as the Birnbaum importance measure, critical importance measure, the risk growth factor and average risk growth factor, and network reliability stability of the communication network system have been discussed in this paper to identify the critical components in the network, and also to quantify the impact of component failures. The study also proposes an efficient algorithm to compute the reliability indices of the network. The authors explore how the universal generating function can work to solve the problems related to the network using the exponentially distributed failure rate. To illustrate the proposed algorithm, a numerical example has been taken.

This research is caused by the need to make a scientific and technical analysis and obtain informed assessments of the consequences of deicing agents application to urban roads for the heat network infrastructure. The main objectives of this research were to assess the impact of the deicing agent on initiation and acceleration of corrosion of the heat network equipment (pipelines, nonmobile and sliding bearings), the effect of this corrosion on reliability of heat supply to consumers, and to determine the economic damage caused by the decline in service life of pipelines. In addition, the study identified additional circumstances of the detrimental effect of deicing agents on the heat network infrastructure associated with destructive changes in the concrete structures of the heat network thermal chambers.

Methods for determining the effective heating radius (EHR) in district heating systems (DHS) are developed, taking into account ensuring of reliable heat supply to consumers. EHR is such a length (distance) of a heat network (HN) from a district heat source (HS) to a consumer, within which the district heat supply of a given consumer is economically more profitable than a distributed (autonomic) one. Thus, the search for EHR for different transmission heat pipelines (TP) connected to the considered HS determines of its operation zones in different districts of the city. In addition, to the main problem of the EHR search, the assessment of nodal reliability indices (RI) for each consumer is carried out, on the basis of which the obtained EHR solutions are corrected (if necessary). As a result, we can determine the zones of district heating in DHS, within the framework of which not only energy and economically effective, but also reliable heat supply to consumers is provided. The developed methodical ensuring was used in the development of an optimal heat supply scheme for the Irkutsk city (Eastern Siberia, Russia). The brief review on the results of the conducted practical researches case study is presented.
