Electrical power and energy balance in the local electrical system by using reconciliation of the generation and consumption schedules

The paper considers the problem of balancing power and electricity in a local electric power system (LES), in which electricity consumption and its generation by renewable energy sources (RES) are proportional to each other. In the LES, the principle is implemented -what is generated is consumed by its own consumers. The LES is considered as part of an electric power system (EPS) with large power plants, but which can operate in an autonomous mode. The sources of electricity in the LES are small hydroelectric power plants (SHPP), photovoltaic and wind power plants (PV, WPP), the production of which is unstable due to dependence on natural conditions. That is why the LES provides for reserve existing maneuvering capacity, electrochemical storage, hydrogen technologies and biogas plants in the UES. To assess the possibility and effectiveness of methods and means of reserving the instability of RES electricity production, the criterion method of the similarity theory was used. From the analysis of the proportionality and sensitivity of the relative costs of RES reserve capabilities and means, it is shown that the best are hydrogen technologies and the coordination of electricity generation and consumption schedules in the RES. First of all, we recommend to use the possibility of using electricity generation and consumption schedules in the LES. For the amount of electricity that remained unbalanced after such reconciliation, it is advisable to use the hydrogen produced in the LES for full balancing. Coordination of generation and consumption schedules in the LES for balancing electricity in it is carried out using a morphometric apparatus, which is based on the transition from the Cartesian to the polar coordinate system. It is shown that the use of a morphometric apparatus for analyzing the unevenness of graphs has a number of advantages and allows for a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the graphs shape. Conditions are created for monitoring the dynamics of changes in consumption and generation schedules in the LES and assessing the impact on the technological processes of electricity consumers.
