Identifying sections of 0.4 kilovolt power grid lines with increased power losses is an urgent task, the solution of which will free up some of the funds spent by power grid companies to compensate for power losses and direct them to the reconstruction and modernization of electric networks. It is necessary to monitor electricity consumption on sections of power grid lines and on the connections of consumers, and compare data on consumption. Existing devices that analyze the quality of electrical energy and can control current and power in the network, such as power quality analyzers, do not have the full necessary qualities, since they are intended for other purposes, and they are also very expensive. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing technical means for identifying sections of 0.4 kilovolt power grid lines with increased power losses, which also allow performing a survey of operating modes of power grid lines. (Materials and methods) The article presents a review of literary sources and an analysis of statistical data. (Results and discussion) The article presents developed technical tools for inspection of power grid lines of 0.4 kilovolts and identification of areas with increased losses of electrical energy, portable single-phase and three-phase electric meter and timer. The single-phase mobile electric meter and timer can be used for the survey of single-phase connections of consumers, three-phase one can be used for the survey of any sections of power lines. Authors also developed a version of the portable electric meter and timer with up to six independent sensors. (Conclusions) It is most rational to use a version of the mobile meter and timer equipped with Wi-Fi data transmission technology to detect power losses on sections of 0.4 kilovolts power grid lines, since in this case simultaneous monitoring of several sections is provided with the possibility of obtaining information from sensors in real time. The data allow to calculate technological and commercial losses on power line sections and draw conclusions about whether they are overstated.

Emergency modes in electrical networks, arising for various reasons, lead to a break in the transmission of electrical energy on the way from the generating facility to the consumer. In most cases, such time breaks are unacceptable (the degree depends on the class of the consumer). Therefore, an effective solution is to both deal with the consequences, use emergency input of the reserve, and prevent these emergency situations by predicting events in the electric network. After analyzing the source [1], it was concluded that there are several methods for performing the forecast of emergency situations in electric networks. It can be: technical analysis, operational data processing (or online analytical processing), nonlinear regression methods. However, it is neural networks that have received the greatest application for solving these tasks. In this paper, we analyze existing neural networks used to predict processes in electrical systems, analyze the learning algorithm, and propose a new method for using neural networks to predict in electrical networks. Prognostication in electrical engineering plays a key role in shaping the balance of electricity in the grid, influencing the choice of mode parameters and estimated electrical loads. The balance of generation of electricity is the basis of technological stability of the energy system, its violation affects the quality of electricity (there are frequency and voltage jumps in the network), which reduces the efficiency of the equipment. Also, the correct forecast allows to ensure the optimal load distribution between the objects of the grid. According to the experience of [2], different methods are usually used for forecasting electricity consumption and building customer profiles, usually based on the analysis of the time dynamics of electricity consumption and its factors, the identification of statistical relationships between features and the construction of models.

Reducing the cost of electricity consumption by industrial enterprises is the most important area of increasing the operational efficiency of their activities. The article is devoted to the issue of reducing the cost of paying for the service component of the transport component of purchased electrical energy from industrial enterprises that have technological connection to the electrical networks of electricity producers. The article makes an empirical study of the features of the pricing of payment for the services of the transport component of purchased electrical energy for industrial enterprises connected to the electric grids of electricity producers with the identification of factors influencing the overestimation of the cost of paid electricity, and calculating such overestimations using the example of a typical schedule of electricity consumption of a machinebuilding enterprise for various regions Russia. On the basis of the developed author's indicators (tariff coefficient for electricity transportation by the level of GNP, index of tariff coefficient for electricity transportation, weighted average price for electricity transportation, index of weighted average price for electricity transportation, integral index of efficiency of GNP tariffs) study of the effectiveness of the application of tariffs for the transport of electricity for industrial enterprises connected to the electric networks of electricity producers. Based on the calculated indicators, the article groups the regions into three main groups, with the development of recommendations for managing the cost of purchasing electricity by the component of the cost of the transport component of purchased electricity in each group. As the most optimal option for reducing the cost of electricity transportation, the author proposes the introduction of demand management for electricity consumption, which will reduce the costs of industrial enterprises that pay for the transport component of purchased electricity at unfavorable tariff configurations.

Abstract The experimental studies result on the power quality and additional power losses analysis caused by the asymmetric modes occurrence in three-phase four-wire 0.38 kV electrical networks are considered. The operating modes 38 kV networks several types simulation – with power take-off nodes distributed along the power line, and an electric network with a concentrated load is carried out. The programs have been developed that allow to assess the change in indicators characterizing asymmetric modes, as well as programs that allow us to visualize this process change. The most installing special symmetrical devices appropriate places in electric networks with a distributed load (rural electric distribution networks) and concentrated power take-off nodes electric networks (urban electric networks) have been identified to minimize losses and improve the power quality. A numerical studied indicators analysis was performed.

<p>This document is a contribution to improve the quality of electrical energy in the distribution network.<br />In this article we will present a method that allows us to clean up in a very considerable way the electrical network of both harmonics and inter harmonics provoked, basically by the ultrafast switches used when controlling a PWM inverter supplying a three-phase asynchronous motor. We notice that this method can be generalized for other loads creating inter-harmonics.<br />This proposed method was simulated using the MATLAB/SIMULINK software and had given remarkable results (there is a considerable reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD) of source current from 29.52% to 0.82%)</p>

The voltage sag problem in a power grid can be solved by a voltage regulator. In this study, the voltage regulator based on thyristor was used to compensate the single-phase and three-phase voltage of voltage sag fault, so as to recover the normal level of voltage. The simulation analysis was carried out on MATLAB. The results showed that voltage sag faults mainly affected the amplitude of voltage, but not the frequency of voltage. After voltage regulation, the single-phase and three-phase voltage waveforms in the fault period had a certain recovery, but the voltage regulator had a certain hysteresis effect.

Three-phase combined transformer has a large number of application to special energy metering in power grid, its performance is directly related to the accuracy of electric energy metering. So it is necessary to ensure its performance and accuracy. It rules that three-phase combined transformer should be calibrated with three-phase method, but most of metrology departments calibrate three-phase combined transformer in single-phase method. Based on the mechanism of the three-phase transformer, single-phase method and three-phase method had been compared on three-phase transformer experimental platform. The result shows that it would be large error when the three-phase transformers are calibrated with single-phase method. Three-phase transformer calibration should be operated with three-phase method.

The article discusses distribution electrical networks 0.38 kV operating modes, feeding individual residential buildings. The electrical energy parameters measurement were certified RESURS-UF2M device carried out. The currents and voltages time diagrams based on the measurements made and using Matlab technologies were constructed. It is established that the level of phase currents unbalance is quite high and causes significant three-phase power supply system unbalance voltage accordingly. The power of quality indicators - calculations, characterizing voltage unbalance were made, which were based on the measurements and the computer program “Asymmetry” was used. As well as the additional power losses coefficient determining by the phase currents unbalance, were calculations. Time diagrams these indicators are constructed and their analysis were made. As a result, the power of quality is significantly reduced by unbalance power consumption in the studied electrical network were founded. At the same time, the additional power losses are significant increases. Specific recommendations for the normalization electrical network-operating mode are given.

Because of the extensive application of autotransformer in 500 kV power grid, the value of single-phase short-circuit current is generally greater than that of three-phase short-circuit current, or even greater than the maximum rated through current of the breaker. In order to reduce single-phase short-circuit current and avoid implement of bus split, this paper proposes to install small reactors on neutral points of 500 kV autotransformers. By analyzing and calculating the effect on short-circuit current limitation, the most suitable impedance value of small reactor is proposed. In addition,the overvoltage of the neutral point and insulation coordination are particularly discussed.
