Using renewable energy off-grid power supply and choosing the right equipment that meets the operating conditions in the Arctic can provide companies with reliable power sources for producing gas at facilities located in remote areas and will reduce capital and operating costs associated with the construction of power transmission lines. For more than 15 years, a remote control system powered by renewable energy has been used in parallel with power transmission lines by Gazprom to operate its multiwell pads in Russia’s Far North, which validates the relevance of this study. The subject of the study is a group of gas condensate wells that consists of four multiwell pads operated by Wintershall Russland GmbH. The article discusses a stand-alone renewable-based power system as an option for powering remote oil and gas production facilities. The procedures used in the study include calculating such parameters as power output and power consumption, choosing equipment, describing the design features of a power supply system for a multiwell pad, conducting an economic assessment of the project, comparing different power supply options, analyzing project risks, and developing measures to mitigate these risks.

Automatic sectionalizing and redundancy of power transmission lines is one of the conditions for network intellectualization and can significantly reduce the power supply interruption time for rural consumers. However, both sectionalizing and redundancy of power transmission lines in 0.4 kV electric networks are used extremely limitedly since there are no sufficiently effective methods and technical means for their implementation. This article presents a method to automatically deactivate the automatic load transfer switch when restoring the normal network operation mode. The paper considers the implementation of the method on the example of damage occurring in the network where power is supplied to consumers from two power sources using an automatic load transfer switch and two sectionalizing units. A device is developed which allows implementing the developed method of automatic load transfer switch deactivation. The device consists of sectionalizing unit, automatic load transfer switch, voltage presence sensor, power direction sensor, memory element, repeater element, element AND and 3 elements NOT. The work of the device is described. The proposed method for automatically disconnecting the automatic load transfer switch in order to return the consumers’ power supply circuit to its initial state solves the problem of eliminating unreasonable power supply interruptions for consumers.

Reducing highway hazards through the creation of modern lighting systems is an important practical task that currently has some difficulties. The rapid development of renewable energy makes it possible to use off-the-shelf solutions to create autonomous lighting complexes for unregulated pedestrian crossings. The analysis of peculiarities of design, constructive structure and operation of autonomous lighting complexes, which are located in Kharkiv region and use renewable energy sources and energy storage systems to power lighting devices and flashing signal lights, is carried out. The analysis results showed that the lighting complexes under investigation are not capable of supplying sufficient energy for themselves and of functioning properly at low insolation and low ambient temperatures. The reasons for the unstable operation of autonomous lighting complexes have been identified, with the main one being the insufficient accuracy of taking into account the actual climatic operating conditions of facilities when forming design solutions. Measures have been developed to improve the efficiency of the autonomous lighting complexes under study, involving the use of off-the-shelf technical solutions based on modern tools and technologies. A criterion for sufficiency of the developed measures to solve the problem of autonomous power supply of lighting complexes for highways is proposed. The sign of the resulting capacity of the complex over the calculation time period is taken as a sufficiency criterion. The practical use of the developed criterion confirmed the feasibility of the proposed measures to improve the operational efficiency of the investigated autonomous lighting complexes for highways. Calculations have shown that it is not sufficient to use solar panels alone to supply highway lighting complexes located in regions with unstable levels of insolation. The feasibility of hybrid power supply systems for autonomous lighting complexes that use additional power sources such as wind turbines and systems with electromechanical converters in addition to solar panels has been quantitatively confirmed.

This paper investigates a mathematical model of one elements of the power supply system - power transmission lines. The type of models depends on the initial simplifications, which in turn are determined by the complexity of the physics of processes. The task of improving the accuracy of modeling of emergency processes in the power system is due to the significant complexity of modern power systems and their equipment, high-speed relay protection, automation of emergency management and the introduction of higher-speed switching equipment. One of the reasons for a significant number of serious emergencies in the system is the lack of complete and reliable information for modeling modes in the design and operation of power systems. The development of a mathematical model of a three-phase power line, which provides adequate reflection of both normal and emergency processes, is relevant. The advanced mathematical model of power transmission lines allows to investigate various operational modes of electric networks. The improved mathematical model of the power transmission line reflects all the features of physical processes at state modes and transient process and provides sufficient accuracy of the results. The type of mathematical model of power transmission lines depends on the accepted simplifications, depending on the task of research. The purpose of this work is to analyze the mathematical model of the power transmission line to study the modes of operation of the power supply system, with the possibility of its application to take into account all the design features of overhead and cable power lines. The mathematical model of the power line for the study of the modes of operation of the power supply system is analyzed. It is used to take into account the design features of overhead and cable power lines, skin effect.

There are a large number of insulators on the transmission line, and insulator damage will have a major impact on power supply security. Image-based segmentation of the insulators in the power transmission lines is a premise and also a critical task for power line inspection. In this paper, a modified conditional generative adversarial network for insulator pixel-level segmentation is proposed. The generator is reconstructed by encoder-decoder layers with asymmetric convolution kernel which can simplify the network complexity and extract more kinds of feature information. The discriminator is composed of a fully convolutional network based on patchGAN and learns the loss to train the generator. It is verified in experiments that the proposed method has better performances on mIoU and computational efficiency than Pix2pix, SegNet, and other state-of-the-art networks.

Sectionalizing 0.4 kV power transmission lines (PTL) improves power supply reliability and reduces electricity undersupply through the prevention of energy disconnection of consumers in the event of a short circuit in the power line behind the sectionalizing unit (SU). This research examines the impact of sectionalizing on power supply reliability and reviews the literature on sectionalizing unit allocation strategies in electrical networks. This paper describes the experience of the use of sectionalizing units with listing strengths and weaknesses of adopted technical solutions and describes the new structure of sectionalizing units. A new methodology is proposed, whereby there are two criteria for allocating SU in 0.4 kV power transmission lines. The first criterion is the sensitivity limits against single-phase short circuits used for calculating the maximum distance at which SU can be installed. The second criterion is power supply reliability improvement, evaluating the cost-effectiveness of installing sectionalizing equipment by reducing power supply outage time. The established methodology was put to the test on an actual electrical system (Mezenka village, Orel area, Russia), which demonstrated that the installation of a sectionalizing unit paid off.
