Optimisation of Operating Modes of Distribution Electric Networks in Ukraine

The article considers the peculiarities of structure and functioning of distribution electric networks of Ukraine. A criterion for optimising the modes of distribution electric networks is proposed, which takes into account the nature of load changes, peculiarities of voltage regulation in electric networks, as well as the presence of distributed generation sources in the network. For the studied 10 kV electric network, measures have been developed to ensure the conditions for optimising operating modes. An algorithm is developed to select the most appropriate of the developed measures, which takes into account the current situation of development of electric networks, current trends and prospects for the development of technical means, automation systems and intelligent control systems for electric network modes.
