TOMSK, May 30 – RIA Tomsk. Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have developed the modeling complex by means of which it is possible to create the virtual copy of the real electropower station for carrying out various tests, including working off of emergencies, the press service of the university reported on Monday.
It is specified that in the working electric power system (EPS) no experiments are allowed. However power engineering specialists systematically need to check how the new equipment of stations will work, to test equipment after repair, and also to check whether will lead this or that change in system to accident or other undesirable consequences.
"TPU scientific have developed the "Variable speed modeling real time complex of electric power systems" for the solution of this problem. By means of the complex we create the mathematical model of the power system, which recreates the properties of the real one, and we conduct all necessary researches. So, we don't need to put real electrical power system at unnecessary risks", – are quoted in the message words of associate professor of the university Mikhail Andreyev.
It is specified that there are developments of similar appointment, but calculation methods at analogs have restrictions in EPS sizes and time of modeling. "This gives rise to a large and uncontrolled errors. The complex of polytechnicians minimizes such risk of a methodical error. It is based on TPU own patented technology", – is said in the message.Developers have already created a prototype of the modeling complex. According to the university, the system will be able to show how EES "will behave" itself in a real situation if to equip it with the new equipment, to increase or reduce capacities. With its help it is possible to plan repair, to investigate methods of increase of energy efficiency of EES, to test antiemergency automatic equipment.
