Use of Renewable Energy Resources to Power an Agricultural Enterprise in Russia

Abstract

This Article covers issues concerning improvement in quality of power supply of the Russian Agricultural Enterprises (AEs) based on Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The Article describes the solution of three main problems encountered in the development of Electrical Power Supply Systems with RES: 1) Selection of Electric Installations to supply power to the specific AEs; 2) Provision of parallel operation of energy sources of different-types; 3) RES integration into the United Energy System (UES). The abovementioned problems have been considered with the specific reference to “Zhdanovsky” AE- Livestock Complex that specializes in milk manufacturing. The selection of Biogas Electric Installations and Solar Power Plants has been proven with the use of the procedure developed by the authors. The AE’s Power Supply Diagram with selected Electric Installations (EIs) has been provided. Parallel alternative current operation of Solar Power Plant and Biogas EIs has been shown. The problem of RES integration into UES has been fixed by means of the AE’s Electric Complex hooking up to Automatic Power Flow Control Station (APFCS). In case of RES energy deficiency, the APFCS shall provide the possibility of energy consumption from the United Energy System and in case of over-generation – its delivery to the United Energy System. The APFCS diagram in the electric distribution grid with AE and RES hooking up has been provided.
