Introduction to the thesis (part of the abstract) on the topic "Research and development of energy supply systems using renewable energy sources"

The development of environmentally friendly renewable energy sources (RES) is a strategic problem that determines the prospects for sustainable development of many countries in the face of gradual depletion of cheap fossil fuels and emerging threats of increasing anthropogenic pollution. environment. Many renewable energy technologies have already reached the level of competitiveness and are gradually entering the market, including the Russian one.

Unconventional Renewable Energy Sources and New Methods for Its Conversion and Accumulation” are identified as one of the critical technologies within the priority areas for the development of science and technology in the Russian Federation, approved by the President of Russia on March 30, 2002, No. Pr-577 and Pr-578.

The main tasks of research and development are to increase the efficiency of converting renewable energy sources into useful types of energy, reliability and other technical and economic indicators of the developed systems and devices, search for niches for cost-effective implementation of technologies, creation and pilot testing of demonstration plants, preparation of scientific and methodological materials substantiating effective areas and methods of using renewable energy sources.

The objects of research and development in the dissertation are technologies, installations and systems that provide an effective transformation:

solar power in thermal energy(systems of solar hot water supply and heating), into the energy of "cold" (solar adsorption refrigeration units) and into electricity (solar power plants with thermodynamic conversion);

Solar (with the help of Photovoltaic converters!, wind energy or their combination into electricity for power supply to autonomous consumers, including using hydrogen energy storage devices;

Geothermal energy into electricity (geothermal power plants (GeoES), in particular, power plants with low-boiling working fluids);

Low-grade heat from various sources with the help of heat pumps into thermal energy for the purposes of hot water supply and heating.

The aim of the work is to develop scientific and technological foundations efficient conversion of the above renewable energy sources and their testing by mathematical modeling of the operation of installations and systems under conditions that take into account real operating conditions as much as possible, as well as by creating experimental and demonstration installations.

In conditions of significant instability of energy supply from most renewable energy sources, due to daily, seasonal, weather and other factors, the use of stationary and quasi-stationary methods for analyzing the efficiency of energy conversion, unlike traditional power plants, as a rule, does not provide reliable and reliable results. Taking into account this circumstance, the dissertation implements a unified methodological approach to solving the problems of modeling power plants for renewable energy sources. This approach is based on the development and application of dynamic plant models.

The principal feature of the models is the use of detailed actinometric and meteorological information as initial data in the format of a "typical meteorological year - TMY" (hourly annual sequences of flows solar radiation, wind speed and temperature atmospheric air). TMY is generated using internationally established procedures for processing long-term monthly average climate data1. Studies carried out by a number of foreign authors and aimed at determining the optimal degree of detail of the initial actinometric

1 Hall I.; Prairie R.; Anderson H.; Boes E. Generation of Typical Meteorological Years for 26 SOLMET Stations. SAND78-1601. - Sandia National Laboratories. Albuquerque. 1978. (http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/pubs/tmy2/ overview.html#method) data (integration step) when simulating the operation of solar installations showed that an adequate description of such installations with an acceptable error in predicting integral energy indicators provided at hourly intervals of presentation of solar radiation. Smaller integration steps do not lead to a significant increase in the accuracy of the results, but lead to a sharp increase in the duration of the calculations. An increase in the integration step of more than 1 hour leads to a significant increase in the calculation error.

Dynamic modeling of most of the installations considered in the dissertation is carried out using modern software product TYAMBUB2, which is used as the main software tool for dynamic modeling of solar and other installations at VIZ by the world's leading research centers. The dynamic simulation environment TYAMBUB was originally developed at the University of Wisconsin (USA) in 1973 for modeling solar heating systems. Today, TYAMBUB is the de facto industry standard, which allows us to speak about reliable simulation results.

The environment is designed to describe the behavior of systems described by systems of ordinary differential equations, and is a set of FORTRAN modules required to control the modeling process; modules that describe the behavior of various elements of the system and are used as "bricks" for its assembly, as well as a number of auxiliary modules, including those designed for input and output of information and its analysis. This entire set is compiled into a dynamic library and runs under the control of the actual dynamic simulation program.

The configuration of the simulated system is set by the user in the form of a special file describing the links between the elements of the system.

2 TRNSYS - The Transient System Simulation Program // http://sel.me. wisc.edu/TRNSYS/ we. This file in latest versions TJ^UB is generated by a special program with a user-friendly graphical interface.

The modular nature of TKMBUB, the availability of source code and clear rules for describing and linking modules determine the open nature of TK-UBB, allowing the user to create modules for describing their own elements and include them in the simulated systems, thus expanding the possibilities of the modeling environment. In addition, time does not have to be an independent variable in modeling, which makes it possible to carry out variant and optimization calculations by studying the behavior of a quasi-dynamic system when the corresponding parameters change.

The technology of dynamic modeling of RES installations is illustrated in fig. 1. As a result of statistical processing of simulation results, integral energy and technical and economic indicators of installations are determined. In some cases (see, for example, section 2.2., relating to solar water heating installations), it is possible to obtain generalizing dependencies, on the basis of which it is possible to build engineering calculation methods.

We are sure that your inexhaustible energy will bring many more benefits to the cause to which you have devoted your whole life, multiplying and improving the results. We wish you and your loved ones always "renewable energy"!

Rational use natural resources, the development and implementation of technical solutions for creating infrastructure is not only a complex scientific and engineering task, but also the potential for the development of domestic high technologies and strengthening the country's export potential. Transport accessibility and harsh climatic conditions are one of the key problems in the development of the region. Today, the energy sector of the region is built mainly on the use of combustible fuel consumed by diesel-electric power stations and, less often, gas turbine plants. For the needs of heat supply, coal, fuel oil, wood are used. A significant share of energy carriers is imported from other regions.

One of the ways to reduce the cost of fuel delivery to remote areas of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and increase their energy security is to use local energy resources, primarily wind, solar, small rivers and biomass. In recent years, technologies for the use of these renewable energy sources (RES) have developed significantly and have demonstrated competitiveness with respect to traditional energy technologies based on the use of fossil fuels. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the heterogeneity of the distribution of these types of local resources in the region, which determines the importance of their correct assessment at the location of the consumer. In addition, a scientifically based selection of equipment is required both in terms of power, optimal configuration and composition of units, and the possibility of its use in the harsh climatic conditions of the Arctic.

Potential for Renewable Energy Resources in the Russian Arctic

Local resources, including renewable energy sources, are many times greater than current and prospective energy consumption in the Arctic. The question of choosing one or another energy source and a particular technology is determined by technical and economic considerations and the level of technology readiness for use in local climatic conditions, taking into account the characteristics of energy consumers. When choosing a site for the construction of power plants, their design and performance forecast, objective initial data on renewable energy resources are required, preferably with maximum coverage of the territory and high spatial resolution. For wind and solar energy resources, the main data sources are the results of long-term ground-based actinometric and meteorological measurements in a given region, as well as the results of processing reanalysis and mathematical modeling data presented in global databases, the leading place among which is NASA SSE.

Almost everywhere in the Arctic, especially in coastal zones, there are huge wind energy resources: in some areas, the average annual wind speed exceeds 5–7 m/s, which is considered an extremely favorable condition for the cost-effective use of wind energy. For a number of regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (Arkhangelsk region, the Komi Republic, etc.), potentially significant for the production of thermal and electrical energy can become biomass resources, primarily waste from the forestry and woodworking industries.

Local resources, including renewable energy sources, are many times greater than current and prospective energy consumption in the Arctic

Potential energy consumers

The most significant consumers of energy in the Arctic region are the settlements that support the activities of forest industry enterprises, mining and metallurgical and oil and gas complexes, military facilities, as well as the bases and enterprises themselves. The peak power consumption of electrical energy for such facilities varies significantly and can range from 20–30 kW (Ust-Olenek village in the north of Yakutia) to 8–10 MW (Tiksi village). At the same time, it should be taken into account that load curves are of a pronounced seasonal nature, because a significant share of energy is consumed either directly (through electric heating systems) or indirectly (through power supply to local boiler house pumps) for heat supply needs.

In conditions of great distance settlements from each other, as well as the passage of an important transport artery in the region - the Northern Sea Route (NSR), the power supply of navigation and communication objects is of great importance.
For the region, especially in summer time, also characterized by the presence of a significant number of consumers living and working outside the settlements. First of all, this applies to the indigenous peoples of the North, engaged in reindeer herding. The problem of meeting the needs in terms of energy supply for communications, camp or parking lighting, use household appliances it is also typical for tourists, geologists, fishermen, hunters, military personnel. The presence of such consumers makes it very important to develop both light and compact energy storage devices and means of charging them in the field.

The possibilities of using RES for power supply of the designated groups of consumers are determined by their operating modes and conditions at their locations. At the same time, for housing and communal services facilities, bases and enterprises, it is advisable to use wind power plants, in combination with diesel generators and / or electric energy storage devices, since consumer objects operate all year round, including during the polar night.

A number of navigation systems and civil portable power plants can be classified as seasonal systems. In this case, solar panels can be successfully used, which have a number of advantages over wind turbines: more predictable electricity generation depending on weather conditions, less dependence on location within the region, the possibility of more flexible change in plant power, higher mobility.

Experience in the use of RES in the Arctic zone

Since the early 2000s, power plants using renewable energy sources have been created and operated in the region. The most famous and largest RES-based power plant is the Anadyr wind farm at Cape Observation. The total installed capacity of wind turbines reaches 2.5 MW.

According to the Geographic Information System "RES of Russia", there are enough a large number of small combined power plants using solar and wind energy. The northernmost and newest of them, peak power 8 kW, located at Cape Zhelaniya, it was built with the participation of Rosneft and is operated by employees of the Russian Arctic National Park. A wind-diesel power plant with a capacity of 100 kW is operating at Cape Set-Navolok.

Comprehensive development of wind-diesel energy in the Russian Far North and Far East is carried out by OAO Peredvizhnaya Energetika. One of the wind turbines with a capacity of 250 kW is located in the town of Labytnangi of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, another 7 units with a total capacity of up to 3.4 MW are planned for construction in Kamchatka, a wind-diesel station is being designed for the village of Chokurdakh, one of the major administrative centers of Northern Yakutia. Wind monitoring is already underway at the sites chosen for the location of the stations in order to substantiate the optimal equipment configurations.

Within the framework of domestic and international programs to replace radioisotope generators as power sources for navigation signs, the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" and hydrographic services installed more than 50 power plants based on photovoltaic modules, nickel-cadmium batteries and small wind turbines, mainly along the coasts of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and the Bering Strait. The power of a single installation is from 100 to 500 watts. In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), work is also underway to provide power to reindeer farms with mobile photovoltaic systems.
