Power Supply of Responsible Groups of Electric Receivers

Abstract

Production sites that require increased reliability of energy supply should be protected from power supply interruptions, since an emergency shutdown of the power supply can lead to danger to people’s lives, a threat to the security of the state, disruption of a complex technological process and significant material damage.
 
 The purpose of the study is to create a backup power supply system for an enterprise, using emergency and uninterrupted power supply sources, such as built-in batteries, uninterruptible power supplies, diesel generator stations, on the example of an oil refinery. In the event of an emergency, the sources used in a short time must ensure the normal operation of critical facilities (boiler house, water intake, computer system, fire extinguishing system, etc.) from backup power sources.
 
 Materials and methods of research. When developing a technical solution for the power supply of an industrial enterprise, the authors were guided by the regulatory documents. The COMPASS software product was used in the construction of the schemes.
 
 Results. The paper presents the power supply system of an oil refinery with the possibility of using a diesel generator station as a trouble-free power source. Diesel generator stations fully meet the reliability requirements for emergency maintenance of the network for more than 24 hours. To ensure uninterrupted power supply to consumers of a special group of the first category, inverter-battery systems are proposed as autonomous power sources.
 
 An algorithm to provide backup power supply has been developed as a technical solution of practical interest in the design of power supply schemes for responsible groups of electrical receivers. The organization of automatic input of the reserve in case of power outages from the main inputs is presented.
 
 Conclusions. The considered system of power supply from independent power sources using diesel generator sets and uninterruptible power supplies in combination with devices for automatic switching on of backup power makes it possible to increase the reliability of power supply to responsible consumers and prevent emergencies associated with power outages.
