  • Support for decision making when choosing a project for autonomous power generation for small industrial enterprises

    The work is devoted to the problem of providing electrical energy to remote production enterprises in the absence of a centralized power supply. The purpose of the work is to develop decision support tools for choosing autonomous power generation projects from a large number of possible alternatives. To achieve this purpose, a hierarchy of criteria was constructed and a comparative analysis of existing technical and economic solutions in the field of small-scale autonomous energy was carried out. It is shown that when choosing a power generation project for a particular enterprise, there is a fairly large number of alternatives, which makes the use of commonly used decision support procedures based on the hierarchy analysis method/analytical network method (in the classical version) ineffective. An iterative procedure with dynamic changes in feedback between criteria and alternatives is proposed, which makes it possible to reduce the dimension of the supermatrix during the calculation process and, thereby, reduce the time complexity of the algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed modification of the analytical network method is confirmed by calculations. The constructed procedure for selecting an autonomous power generation project makes it possible to increase the level of scientific validity of technical and economic decisions when expanding the production activities of small enterprises in remote and sparsely populated areas.

  • Diagnostics of ice on overhead catenary wires

    Loads from ice and frost formations on the wires of the contact network worsen the quality of current carrying and contribute to the emergency situation. The article presents the analysis of methods and sets of equipment for diagnostics of ice and frost formations on the wires of the contact network. Elements of diagnostic equipment form an information system, the end point of which is the energy dispatcher's console. It is shown that the composition of the diagnostic equipment is determined by the type of contact suspension and its place of installation. The variety of methods used for diagnostics of ice on wires of the contact suspension shows the complexity of the problem to be solved.

  • Pulsating liquid circuit for cooling an oil-filled transformer

    The paper proposes a model of a circuit with a pulsating circulation of a liquid coolant for cooling an oil transformer and investigates the dependence of the heat transfer coefficient on the frequency of the liquid pulsation in the heated circuit. As a result of the experiments, it was found that the pressure amplitude remains practically unchanged up to a frequency of 0.45 Hz, then sharply decreases and at a frequency of 0.9 Hz it is approximately 12.5 kPa. It was also found that in the heated circuit (circuit 1) the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference in the heating circuit (circuit 2), which is due to the fact that the fluid flow rate in the heating circuit exceeds the flow rate in the heated circuit. The theoretical calculation carried out showed that in the proposed model the heat transfer coefficient reaches its maximum at a pulsation frequency of 0.6 Hz and is 133.675 W/m2K.
