Creation of Load Centers on Designing Workshop Energy Grid Structure of Radial Topology
On designing and upgrading of workshop energy supply systems the main objective is creation of load centers, namely, determination of their quantity and capacity, their allocation, distribution of the electrical energy receivers of each center and, besides, an arrangement of intermediate load centers that considerably influence upon the capital and operating costs. A solution of the task to install the load centers and intermediate load centers is to be implemented simultaneously to the other solutions, namely, calculating of the transformers capacity, grouping of the electrical receivers into the load centers and intermediate load centers. A solution of the task to determine the quantity of the load centers and intermediate load centers is advised to implement with applying of appraisal methods. However, these methods do not enable to determine coordinates of the intermediate load centers allocation. And the methods application to the whole object inorder to solve such a local task results in a majority of options to appraise and the options selection depends on the designer's subjectivity. A procedure has been formalized, the procedure to create the intermediate load center on designing the workshop energy grid structure of radial topology, and the procedure allows to determine an optimal electrical line length to feed the load center and it allows to take into account a scale discrecity of the power point dimensions. The results obtained can be applied as a part of the design algorithm of the workshop energy grid structure.
