Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The main reason for disruptions in energy supplies is increased electricity consumption, which is especially typical during a cold snap. At the same time, short-term outages make it possible to prevent major system accidents.
This is due to the fact that in any power system for its stable operation, an energy balance between consumption and production must be ensured, and for any instant of time (millisecond).
This condition is very important from the point of view of reliability and uninterrupted supply of consumers with electricity of proper quality and ensuring trouble-free operation of the power system. With increased electricity consumption (high heat in summer or severe cold in winter), even in developed countries, ensuring the energy balance between consumption and production is a difficult task, which leads to major systemic accidents with disruption of the stability of the energy system and interruption of the supply of electricity in full and full repayment of entire regions over the long term.
In situations where energy balance cannot be ensured, at the command of the superior dispatching management of territorial grid enterprises, part of the consumers is forced to turn off in accordance with the "rolling" schedule. These graphs cover, as a rule, low-voltage distribution electrical networks - feeder 0.4 kV, 6 - 10 kV.
These actions are aimed at preventing large-scale accidents in the country’s power system. Round-the-clock monitoring and dispatch control of electrical modes allows to respond in a timely manner.
An electrical power system is a complex structure, which includes power plants for the production of power and energy, high voltage transit networks for their transportation, distribution networks for the distribution of electricity and consumers of electrical power and energy.
A characteristic feature of the electric power system is a unified technological process for the production of electrical power and energy, their transmission and distribution and consumption. This process is typical for electric power systems around the world.
To prevent and prevent the occurrence of serious systemic accidents, it is necessary to develop the power system, increase its energy efficiency, and improve the conditions for providing the power system with energy resources. The implementation of these tasks in Uzbekistan is determined by the relevant decrees of the President of the country and is in the focus of attention of the Ministry of Energy every day.
