During the functioning of power supply system, there can be situations where the culprit in interruptions of power supply to consumers and a power quality violation is a power supply company or a consumer himself. Therefore, the economic incentive for power supply companies and consumers to increase power supply reliability and power quality is an urgent task. To implement such incentives, it is necessary to control the facts and time of power supply outages and their values as well as cases and time of non-compliance of power quality with the requirements of standards. It is possible with the use of a monitoring system for power supply reliability and power quality. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing a technical and economic method for stimulating power supply companies and consumers to increase efficiency of power supply system. (Materials and methods) The article provides a review of the structural diagram of a system for monitoring power supply reliability and power quality including devices for monitoring the number and duration of power outages and voltage deviations. (Results and discussion). An economic method has been developed to stimulate power supply companies and consumers to increase power supply system efficiency. The essence of the method is to control the parameters of power supply reliability and power quality, identify the violation of these parameters, determine the culprit of the violation, determine the time characteristics of the violation, summarize the duration of violations for the reporting period, compare the actual amount of duration with the allowable one, determine the amount of compensation for the violation and impose sanctions on payment compensation by the perpetrators of violations of these parameters. The article presents an algorithm for adjusting the cost of electricity supplied to consumers depending on the number and duration of voltage deviations and the number and duration of outages. The algorithm serves to ensure the operation of the specified technical and economic method. (Conclusions) The algorithm works in conjunction with a system for monitoring power supply reliability and power quality based on signals from devices that control the number and duration of outages and voltage deviations.
