Electric power quality control in electro-technical complexes of oil processing plant

Abstract

Abstract The paper deals with electric power quality research, in the load buses of the electrical networks of oil processing plant (“Production Association “Kirishinefteorgsintez”, LLC). Measurements were carried out under conditions of operating equipment at the distribution substations of the enterprise and at the division boundary of inventory responsibility with the power-supply system at the points of power transmission from the power-supply system to the industrial consumer. Assessment of the allowed contribution to the deterioration of electric power quality showed that at the increase in the rated capacity of drives based on frequency converters over 12% of the total installed capacity of electricity receivers of oil processing plant, the maximum allowed voltage waveform distortion coefficient values at the points of power transmission will be exceeded. To implement normalizing the electromagnetic environment and lowering non-sinusoidality of voltage, proposed is a system of measures, that allows controlling electric power quality indicators within the limits, stipulated by regulatory documents, resulting to reducing the risk of penalties by the power-supply authority and large scale undersupply of products under conditions of continuous technological cycle.
