The state of the electric power industry of the Kamchatka region and its development prospects

Бесплатный доступ

Sustainable socio-economic development of any region is determined by the efficiency of its energy supply system. For isolated power systems, which include the Kamchatka region, it is particularly important to ensure energy independence by maximizing the use of domestic energy resources in electricity production. The article deals with the structure of the electric power industry of the Kamchatka region, presents the composition of generating capacities in the power supply system of the region and an assesses the impact they have on the electricity tariff. The dynamics of electric energy consumption and the structure of consumers are considered. The largest consumers in the Main Energy hub of the region are identified and the efficiency of this structure is assessed. Data on the power supply in remote isolated energy hubs of the Kamchatka region are presented. An overview of the quantitative and typical composition of the turbine equipment of Kamchatka power plants is presented, and an assessment of the residual resource is made. Based on the analysis of the power supply structure and taking into account the technical condition of the power equipment and the experience of operating the main generating capacities the article assesses the regional energy system development prospects. The article also presents an approach based on transferring the main energy capacities to internal hydro resources to ensure the reliability, safety and efficiency of the Kamchatka Territory's energy.
