Investigation of the reliability of the IPS of South in connection with the acquisition of new concentrated loads (part 2)
In part 2 of the paper, technical and economic necessity is substantiated of commissioning of the second circuit of 500 kV “Rostov NPP-Shakhty” (without extending the same to substation 500 kV Rostovskaya) and construction of OHPL 500 kV from substation Rostovskaya to substation Taman. This will enable to increase the supply of power to the Crimean “energy bridge” to transmit the same to the Crimean energy system up to 800–850 MW and to raise the probability of failsafe operation of the basic network to 0.986, i.e., reduce the time of emergency conditions of basic networks to 130 hrs/year, improving the reliability level of the network, which existed before the connection of the Crimean energy system.Further social and economic development of tourist and resort areas of Krasnodar Territory and Crimea can ensure, with proper stimulating economic conditions, a growth of power consumption and loads of Krasnodar Territory and Crimea with a factor of 1.5–2, particularly in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the technical and economic feasibility of two options of construction in Krasnodar Territory or in Crimea of a new power plant with a capacity of up to 1000 MW and reconstruction of the Crimean energy bridge for transmission of direct current. This will double the throughput of the “energy bridge” to the capacity of nearly 2 million kW, which, combined with further development of power-generating facilities of the Crimean energy system, will enable to supply the Trans-Dniester and the Bug areas with electric energy, if necessary.In case of switching the Crimean “energy bridge” to direct current, with a capacity of up to 2 mln kW to be transmitted through this bridge, it will be necessary to strengthen electric links, with these to be switched to the voltage 500 kV between substation Kafa (the point of connection of the “energy bridge” to the Crimean energy system), Simferopol and Sevastopol.This matter is supposed to be considered in subsequent studies of reliability of power supply of Crimea.
