Design of instrumentation and control components of power distribution systems

Introduction. In recent years, the development of high-voltage power systems has received a boost due to the need for infrastructural support for priority development areas. Universal models and algorithms are required to implement processes in power components and identify their optimal parameters. However, there are no such solutions. Accordingly, there are no ready-made subsystems with control and optimization algorithms adequate to the tasks under consideration. The objective of the presented research is to develop an optimization subsystem for the design of control and measurement components of power distribution systems.Materials and Methods. Methods for constructing automated design systems, optimization, system analysis, mathematical modeling, and adaptive control were used. When selecting methods, we proceeded from the fact that the components of power distribution systems consisted of a finite number of elements. The synthesis of a power system includes tens or hundreds of sequential operations. This was taken into account in the developed models and algorithms.Results. The possibilities of managing and monitoring manufacturing processes (MP) for the production of components of low-voltage power distribution systems were shown in terms of checking the operability and correct functioning of processing equipment. A modular structure was created to allow the integration of CAD output files into the manufacturing processes of energy distribution system components. A functional diagram of a subsystem for control and monitoring of the manufacturing processes of the production of components of power distribution systems was developed. The proposed schematic diagram of production control showed how the data collection subsystem, management system, and operating mechanisms were involved in the control of operations. The multi-level optimization module model created within the framework of this research sequentially optimized the service intensity of the i-th block, the input flow separation coefficients, and the priorities of the original data flows that form the input flow of the i-th block.Discussion and Conclusion. The combined application of modeling, system analysis, and optimization methods maintains control of the accuracy of the generated power components. The algorithm for controlling electrical loads opens up opportunities for creating a mathematical model of a power supply system that combines management, control, and monitoring, which ultimately leads to an improvement in the quality of electric power. The solution can be in demand in the development of power systems of priority development areas.
