The purpose of this study is to study the effect of loading power transformers (PT) in their continuous use on their energy efficiency on a real-life example of existing rural electric networks. It is noted that the vast majority of PT in rural areas have a very low load factor, which leads to an increase in specific losses of electric energy when this is transmitted to various consumers. It is planned to optimize the existing synchronized power supply systems in rural areas by creating new power supply projects in such a way as to integrate existing power sources and ensure the most efficient loading of power transformers for the subsequent transfer of these systems to isolated ones that receive power from distributed generation facilities. As an example, we use data from an electric grid company on loading power transformers in one of the districts of the Irkutsk region. Issues related to the determination of electric energy losses in rural PT at different numerical values of their load factors are considered. A computing device was developed using modern programming tools in the MATLAB system, which has been used to calculate and plot the dependence of power losses in transformers of various capacities on the actual and recommended load factors, as well as the dependence of specific losses during the transit of 1 kVA of power through a power transformer at the actual, recommended and optimal load factors. The analysis of specific losses of electric energy at the actual, recommended and optimal load factors of PT is made. Based on the analysis, the intervals of optimal load factors for different rated power of PT of rural distribution electric networks are proposed. It is noted that to increase the energy efficiency of PT, it is necessary to reduce idling losses by increasing the load of these transformers, which can be achieved by reducing the number of transformers while changing the configuration of 0.38 kV distribution networks.

In this paper, the authors propose an algorithm for interrelated voltage regulation in the power supply system of coal mine which allows to provide a normative voltage level and to minimize the level of active power consumption. A feature of the proposed algorithm is a separate consideration of discrete and nondiscrete variables. Nondiscrete variables are represented as a state matrix. The optimization of nondiscrete variables is performed for each state. The algorithm chooses a state with the minimal active power consumption. The obtained values of discrete and nondiscrete variables are transferred in the form of control signals to voltage regulation devices. In this case, the periodicity of the switching is determined by the resource of the on-load tap-changing device. The use of this algorithm will theoretically allow increasing the energy efficiency of power supply systems of coal mines.

To increase the energy efficiency and reduce the cost, the DC-Microgrids will have a very promising future in the power supply systems. In this paper, two power supply patterns for modern appliances, the central rectifier pattern and the distributed rectifier pattern, are investigated and compared. A concept of equivalent efficiency of diode bridge rectifier for DC-powered appliances is introduced and then it is applied in the model simplification. A Curved-Load model is constructed which is based on the specific efficiency characteristics of diode bridge rectifier in a particular current range and the statistics for appliance’s energy consumption as a percentage of the total. Using the Curved-Load model, the comparison of two microgrid system models was conducted with the help of simulations using Ansoft Simplorer 9.0 aiming to examine the conversion efficiency of rectifier patterns.

The rapid growth of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector requires additional infrastructure, such as more micro-datacenters and telecom stations, to support the higher internet speeds and low latency requirements of 5G networks. The increased power requirements of the new ICT technologies necessitate the proposal of new power supplies in an attempt to retain the increase in energy demand and running costs. The work analyses how multicell structured power supply units can increase the energy efficiency of the power supply systems and thus minimize running costs of ICT networks. The effect of multicell structures in energy efficiency improvements is verified experimentally and through simulations in PSIM’s thermal module. A new multicell Power Supply Unit (PSU) is proposed for ICT power supplies and it is shown that using multicell structures, higher efficiency at varying load levels can be achieved.

Application of exponential and normal distribution laws, and Weibull's law. Findings. In a comprehensive assessment of the problem of electromagnetic compatibility and the development of multicriteria parameters of energy efficiency of power supply systems of industrial enterprises, it is most appropriate to use the reliability of the elements that are mathematically described by the Weibull distribution.

Conclusions are made on the adequacy of the calculation results at different stages of electricity distribution. It is shown that the simultaneous optimization of reliability and voltage quality are components of a complex scientific problem of ensuring energy efficiency of electrical networks in the implementation of decentralized models of the energy system.

Traction Power

DC traction power supply systems have become widespread in several countries. Electricity consumption by traction power supply systems has pronounced seasonal and daily peaks. The peak nature of consumption leads to additional heating of live parts since time constants of transient thermal and electrophysical processes differ by several orders of magnitude, therefore, reducing ohmic resistance of electrical equipment, other things being equal, is an extremely important task.Within the framework of solving the problem of increasing energy efficiency of equipment of DC traction substations, smoothing reactor filter devices with an armoured radial-cylindrical magnetic core with low ohmic resistance, named RZhFA‑6500, were developed and manufactured.In 2018, two blocks of RZhFA‑6500 smoothing reactors were put into pilot operation at one of the most heavily loaded sections of DC electrified railways, providing traffic of trains weighing up to 9000 tons and traffic volume of about a hundred pairs of trains per day.To determine comparative indicators of energy efficiency, data on consumption of electric power for traction of trains for the compared periods before and after introduction of smoothing reactors of a new type were requested. The data received from JSC Russian Railways contained information on the traffic volume, type of rolling stock, and weight of the transported goods in accordance with the executed traffic schedule through section under consideration. The resulting set of data served as the basis for development of a multivariate methodology for assessing energy efficiency of reactors of a new type, as well as their contribution to efficiency of train operation over the considered comparative time interval. Since efficiency of power equipment also depends on the ambient temperature, the average integral parameter of average daily temperature was introduced into the calculation methodology, which, as it turned out, during processing initial data and construction of characteristic graphical dependencies, has a comparative difference of less than one percent for the same monitored periods.Accurate quantitative accounting of the data on consumption of electrical energy provided for traction of trains, exchange of reactive energy with the supply network, volume of transportation allowed to obtain an objective comparison of contribution of smoothing reactors of a new type to increasing efficiency of train operation and reducing consumption of electrical energy for traction of trains.
