Abstract

The main problem faced in supplying power to remote consumers is that there are high logistical costs of delivering fuel and equipment for diesel power plants, poor density of transport infrastructure and, as a consequence, a high cost of fuel. There are also high operating costs at diesel power plants and specific fuel consumption; in addition, there is no monitoring and control automation. In view of a high wind potential of the Arctic territories, energy complexes and systems can be effectively modernized and constructed on the basis of modular wind-diesel power plants with an intelligent control system. A concept of and hardware solutions for an intelligent automatic control system are proposed, the use of which makes it possible to maximize the amount of electricity generated by renewable sources owing to dynamically redistributing the power between the hybrid energy complex components and, as a result, to minimize fuel consumption. An analysis of a controlled wind-diesel power plant has shown that by using an intelligent automatic control system, forecasting the electricity generation by a wind power plant, and arranging storage battery operation in a cyclic mode, it becomes possible to effectively cover the load schedule of an autonomous consumer and increase the extent of diesel fuel substitution by up to 60 % or more.
