Technical solutions to prevent blackouts in order to provide the population with electricity: The case of Ukraine

Abstract

Due to the deteriorating condition of the power grids and the increasing number of power outages, research on technical solutions to prevent blackouts in the Ukrainian energy system is becoming an extremely relevant and necessary task. This study aims to analyse technical solutions aimed at increasing the resilience of Ukraine’s energy system to prevent blackouts and ensure reliable electricity supply to the population. The methods used include the analytical method, classification method, functional method, statistical method, synthesis method, and others. The study analysed modern technical solutions to improve the resilience of the Ukrainian energy system. The study included a detailed analysis of innovative approaches to modernizing the energy infrastructure. The primary objective was to study and evaluate modern technologies for designing new power lines with improved transmission characteristics. The study emphasized the importance of expanding automation systems to effectively monitor and control the state of the power grid. The study also identified the importance of using energy storage, developing renewable energy sources and improving electricity consumption forecasting systems. Flexible load management measures and improved cybersecurity systems were identified as critical. It is noted that the implementation of the project to provide electricity to the conditional area will be a key step in improving the lives of the local population and providing the necessary conditions for the development of the area’s infrastructure and economy. In addition, the operation of generators for electricity supply will help to reduce the feeling of lack of electricity among residents and ensure reliability in the use of electricity for all sectors of the district’s economy. The overall conclusion is that the implementation of such technical solutions will significantly increase the resilience of Ukraine’s energy system. The results obtained make it possible to effectively avoid blackouts and ensure a sustainable electricity supply to the population. This allows energy companies, government agencies and other stakeholders to optimize energy resource management and make informed decisions to ensure the sustainable and efficient operation of Ukraine’s energy system in the face of a possible blackout risk
