Sustainable operation of the power grid complex is impossible without reliable and high-quality operation of 10/0.4 kV electrical distribution networks, which are the final link in the system for providing consumers with electric energy and are in direct interaction with a specific consumer. The study of statistical information on the composition of distribution networks makes it possible to draw conclusions about electrical network state, to implement recommendations for their development and to compare distribution electrical networks in different regions. This information is especially relevant for analyzing the reliability of power supply to consumers connected to the considered electrical distribution networks. Such indicators of network structure as the length of electric transmission lines of different voltages and power transmission schemes are studied. It also analyzes the number of damages in networks, the causes of these damages, data on the time of planned and emergency outages. This paper considers the structure of 10/0.4 kV electrical distribution networks located on the territory of one of the districts of the Kaluga region. The sample for distribution networks was: 1190 overhead transmission lines and 536 transformer substations. Consumers in the district are 21671 subscribers of individuals and 1986 subscribers of legal entities, that is, a total of 23657 metering points. On the lines of 0.4 kV and 10 kV, the percentage of their isolated design was revealed. The share of single-transformer and two-transformer versions of transformer substations is analyzed.

This paper presents the analysis of power supply restoration time after failures occurring in power lines. It found that the power supply restoration time depends on several constituents, such as the time for obtaining information on failures, the time for information recognition, the time to repair failures, and the time for connection harmonization. All these constituents have been considered more specifically. The main constituents’ results values of the power supply restoration time were analyzed for the electrical networks of regional power supply company “Oreolenergo”, a branch of Interregional Distribution Grid Company (IDGC) of Center. The Delphi method was used for determining the time for obtaining information on failures as well as the time for information recognition. The method of mathematical statistics was used to determine the repair time. The determined power supply restoration time (5.28 h) is similar to statistical values of the examined power supply company (the deviation was equal to 9.9%). The technical means of electrical network automation capable of the reduction of the power supply restoration time have also been found. These means were classified according to the time intervals they shorten.

Overhead Power Transmission Lines

The purpose of the article is to analyze the damage rate of overhead power transmission lines (OPL) in medium-voltage electrical distribution networks of the Irkutsk region. The established International Indices that determine the level of reliability of the functioning of electric networks are considered, and information on the compliance of the condition of electric networks in Russia with these indices is analyzed. Analytical information on the damage rate of elements of these networks and their causes in Europe, America, and Russia is presented. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the most common damage is characteristic of overhead power lines, especially 6–10 kV lines. As an object of research, two branches of the Irkutsk electric grid company (IEC) were taken, one of which provides electricity to rural consumers, the other — mainly to consumers residing in the territory of the city Irkutsk. The characteristics of these electric networks, their territorial location and basic technical data are presented. To conduct analytical monitoring of the level of reliability of overhead power transmission lines, logs of disconnection of the Eastern and Southern electric networks of the IEC over a long-term period were used. On the basis of this information, tables of failures and their consequences in the studied electrical networks were compiled for monthly average data over the period under examination for various causes of damage. To plot time diagrams of the parameters under examination, computer programs were compiled in the Matlab system, the use of which made it possible to obtain visualization of changes in failures for various reasons for the electrical networks under consideration. The information on the time of power supply interruptions in these networks, as well as the amount of electricity underutilized by consumers during these interruptions and its cost are analyzed. It is shown that in the electric networks under consideration, most of the power failures are related to the territorial dispersion of these networks, and the low level of equipment controls and insufficient qualification of operating personnel, as evidenced by the significant number of failures for unknown reasons. Besides, a significant part of the failures is due to damage to the overhead line wires, switching equipment and the effect of wind load. Recommendations for improving the condition of power transmission lines and a number of measures aimed at improving the level of reliability of power supply are presented.

The article analyzes the state of the elements of 6-10 kV distribution electrical networks in Dushanbe, showing the excess of reliability and efficiency indicators of the considered electrical networks from the permissible 10% values. For the first time, the factors influencing the reliability indicators of 6-10 kV electrical distribution network elements in Dushanbe were identified and a mathematical model of networks for determining the state of 6-10 kV electrical distribution network elements in Dushanbe was proposed. On the basis of them, an algorithm for monitoring the state of the elements of 6-10 kV electrical distribution networks in Dushanbe is proposed, which makes it possible to evaluate the efficiency of 6-10 kV distribution electrical networks in terms of undersupply of electricity - ΔW.

The article considers the feasibility of changing the structure of a distribution electrical network by transferring points of electricity transformation as close to consumers as possible. This approach is based on installation of pole-mounted transformer substations (PMTS) near consumer groups and changes the topology of the electrical network. At the same time, for groups of consumers, the configuration of sections of the low-voltage network, including service drops, changes. The efficiency of approaching transformer substations to consumers was estimated by the reduction in electrical energy losses due to the expansion of the high-voltage network. The calculation of electrical losses was carried out according to twenty-four hour consumer demand curve. To estimate the power losses in each section of the electrical network of high and low voltage, the calculated expressions were obtained. For the considered example, the electrical energy losses in the whole network with a modified topology is reduced by about two times, while in a high-voltage network with the same transmitted power, the losses are reduced to a practically insignificant level, and in installed PMTS transformers they increase mainly due to the rise in total idle losses. The payback period of additional capital investments in option with modified topology will be significantly greater if payback is assessed only by saving losses cost. Consequently, the determination of the feasibility of applying this approach should be carried out taking into account such factors as increasing the reliability of electricity supply, improving the quality of electricity, and increasing the power transmission capacity of the main part of electrical network.

In the literature, there are several methodologies to estimate technical losses in electrical distribution networks. The range of techniques is broad, ranging from basic techniques (based on loss factor, for example) to sophisticated ones (based on artificial intelligence). These methodologies are important, because the costs of technical losses represent a huge part of the total operation costs of distribution network operators (DNOs). However, the presence of clandestine connections, common in developing countries, was not considered in the methodologies encountered in the literature. Clandestine connections occur when a consumer has made his/her connection without DNO permission. In these cases, the amount of energy consumed by a clandestine "consumer" is a nontechnical loss (and, therefore, should be correctly computed as nonbilled energy). Therefore, a new methodology is proposed to consider the presence of clandestine connections in energy loss estimation in distribution systems.

The aim of the study is control of commercial losses in electrical grids, especially in low voltage grids, which is one of the priority lines of activities conducted by electric network companies. The complexity of solving this problem is stemming from the difficulty of exactly locating the commercial loss occurrence place under the conditions of extensively branched low and medium voltage electrical networks. Various methods are currently used to determine the commercial loss occurrence places. However, no effective methods have been created for determining the fact and place of unaccounted electricity consumption in networks under the conditions of performing remote analysis of networks based on the data from modern electricity meters used in the automated fiscal electricity metering system. These difficulties can be overcome by developing a model of voltage distribution and change of current in distribution networks of the 0.4--35 kV nominal voltage levels. A model of voltage distribution and changes of current for a network containing unaccounted electricity consumption is proposed. The effectiveness of using the proposed model has been theoretically substantiated; its applicability limits are defined, and the accuracy of the obtained results is estimated. Graphical representation of the proposed model, which is one of the electrical network digital imaging forms, can be used to analyze electrical networks for revealing if there is unaccounted electricity consumption in them. By using the proposed model of voltage distribution and change of current in the network, it is possible to represent the electrical network as a set of electrical parameters to analyze electrical networks for the presence of commercial losses.

Analysis has been performed of the operation of electric distribution networks of ten branches of Oblkommunenergo (OKE) of Irkutsk Region [1]. Based on the data on the operation of these networks published in public media, algorithms and computer programs for the Matlab graphic editor are compiled, which are used for plotting time diagrams that characterize the operation of the electrical networks under consideration. The balance changes are shown in the transmission of electric energy into the OKE networks and from the OKE networks directly to consumers (high, medium and low voltage networks). The number of failures, the power supply interruption time and the amount of electricity undersupplied in each month of the year for each of the branches are considered. The months of the year are determined, in which the greatest and least damage occurs to the electrical networks of the OKE branches. Data are presented on the dynamics of annual wear of electric networks, planned activities and their annual implementation. The level of reliability is considered according to the established indicators of the average duration of interruptions in the transmission of electric energy in each calculated regulation period. It is shown that the combination of the main causes of failures largely depends on the natural-climatic and terrain specifics of the regions through which the routes of electric networks pass. As an example, data on the causes of failure in the electrical networks of one of the OKE branches are considered. The most and least damaged electrical networks of the considered OKE branches have been established. In conclusion, findings are formulated and recommendations are presented on minimizing outages based on the main types of failure causes for the purpose of increasing the operational reliability of the electrical networks under consideration.
