ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF EFFICIENCY OF POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS TO RURAL CONSUMERS

Abstract

Interpretation of the efficiency of power supply systems is proposed, according to which the main criterion of efficiency is minimization of costs for the operation of the power supply system under certain conditions related to the reliability of power supply, power quality and timing of technological connections. The methodological approach to improving the efficiency of power supply systems for rural consumers requires the development of efficiency criteria that would allow all measures to improve the reliability of electricity supply, power quality, shorten time and improve the quality of technological connections to lead to uniform indicators by which to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. The costs arising from the operation of power supply systems can be divided into stimulating and providing. Both of these components, in turn, are also divided, while the stimulating costs include those components of costs that stimulate electricity supply companies to comply with the requirements of reliability of power supply, power quality, quality of services of technical connections. Regulation of incentive costs, which include damages from interruptions in power supply, compensation costs, lost profits, etc. allows you to manage the efficiency of power supply systems. Providing costs include investment and operating costs, since these types of costs provide the ability to fulfill the conditions of quality of services provided by electricity supply companies. All components of the costs associated with the values ​​of the time of interruptions in the power supply, the time of the mismatch of the quality of electricity and the time of the technical connections. The dependencies of component costs on the time of interruptions in power supply are shown. These dependencies can be interpreted in the opposite version, as time dependencies on costs. This reading allows them to develop incentive mechanisms for energy companies and consumers to improve the reliability of power supply, power quality and quality of connection services.
