Flexible distributed control and protection system for industrial objects – Consumers of electric power

Problems of efficient use of electric power and energy saving remain to be outstanding in our country. Implementation of smart systems for accounting and control of energy resources becomes the efficient solution of these problems. The problem of control and forecasting consumption of energy by the facility to cover internal needs represents an independent task. In general, systems are suggested which pertain to the control and accounting of energy resources supplied to the consumer of electric power. Approach to the development of system on the basis of concept of smart grids using dedicated complex of technical and software products allowing optimizing electric power expenditures, re-distributing electric power and promptly adjusting electric power grid characteristics is addressed in the present paper. Electric power supply control and monitoring devices receiving and transferring information to the server are installed in the places of connection of consumers to electric power supply grids. Server collects, accumulates and stores the information and is equipped with dedicated software allowing optimizing the load, preventing overloading and development of emergency situations within the electric power supply system. Such systems are suggested to be implemented by the facilities of nuclear industry.
