[IEV number 601-03-02 ]

Подстанции с трансформаторами, преобразующие электрическую энергию только по напряжению, называются трансформаторными; а преобразующие электроэнергию по напряжению и другим параметрам (изменение частоты, выпрямление тока), — преобразовательными. На ПС могут устанавливаться два и более, как правило, трехфазных трансформатора. Установка более двух трансформаторов принимается на основе технико-экономических расчетов, а также в случаях, когда на ПС применяется два средних напряжения. При отсутствии трехфазного трансформатора необходимой мощности, а также при транспортных ограничениях возможно применение группы однофазных трансформаторов. Подстанция, как правило, состоит из нескольких РУ разных ступеней напряжения, соединенных между собой трансформаторной (автотрансформаторной) связью;

система электроснабжения
Совокупность взаимосвязанных энергоустановок, осуществляющих электроснабжение района, города, предприятия.
[ ГОСТ 19431-84]

система электроснабжения
Совокупность электроустановок, предназначенная для обеспечения потребителей электрической энергией.
[ОСТ 45.55-99]

2.14. В проектной практике имеет место деление системы электроснабжения энергоемкого промышленного предприятия на внешнее электроснабжение (электрические сети энергосистемы до приемных пунктов электроэнергии на предприятии) и внутреннее электроснабжение (от приемных пунктов до потребителя предприятия)....

2.15. Система электроснабжения промышленного предприятия должна учитывать очередность его сооружения. Сооружение последующих очередей строительства не должно приводить к нарушению или снижению надежности электроснабжения действующих производств.
Система электроснабжения должна обеспечивать возможность роста потребления электроэнергии предприятием без коренной реконструкции системы электроснабжения.

2.17. При проектировании системы электроснабжения промышленного предприятия следует учитывать потребность в электроэнергии сторонних близлежащих потребителей во избежание нерациональных затрат на их локальное электроснабжение.

3.5. Надежность электроснабжения промышленного предприятия со сложным непрерывным технологическим процессом (НТП), требующим длительного времени на восстановление рабочего режима при нарушении системы электроснабжения, определяется помимо требуемой степени резервирования длительностью перерыва питания при нарушениях в системе электроснабжения и ее сопоставлением с предельно допустимым временем перерыва электроснабжения, при котором возможно сохранение НТП данного производства.

4.4.3. Мощности независимых источников питания в послеаварийном режиме определяются исходя из требуемой степени резервирования системы электроснабжения предприятия.

6.1.2. Системы электроснабжения с двумя приемными пунктами электроэнергии следует применять:
- при повышенных требованиях к надежности питания электроприемников I категории;
- при двух обособленных группах потребителей на площадке предприятия;
- при поэтапном развитии предприятия в тех случаях, когда для питания нагрузок второй очереди целесообразно сооружение отдельного приемного пункта электроэнергии;
- во всех случаях, когда применение двух приемных пунктов экономически целесообразно.
В указанных случаях приемные пункты должны быть территориально разобщены и размещаться, как правило, по разные стороны предприятия.
Должна быть исключена возможность одновременного попадания приемных пунктов в факел загрязнения.

6.1.3. При построении системы электроснабжения предприятия во всех случаях, где это возможно, следует применять схемы глубоких вводов 110-330 кВ как наиболее экономичной и надежной системы распределения электроэнергии.

6.2.6. При построении системы электроснабжения на напряжении 35 кВ для...

8.7. При проектировании системы электроснабжения промышленного предприятия, имеющего в своем составе электроприемники, чувствительные к изменениям показателей качества электроэнергии, следует...

9.8.1. Регулирование напряжение в системах электроснабжения промышленных предприятий, в основном, должно обеспечиваться применением трансформаторов и автотрансформаторов с автоматическим регулированием напряжения под нагрузкой и выбором оптимальных ответвлений у нерегулируемых под нагрузкой трансформаторов.

10.4. Выбор компенсирующих устройств должен производиться одновременно с выбором других основных элементов системы электроснабжения предприятия с учетом динамики роста электрических нагрузок и поэтапного развития системы.

[НТП ЭПП-94]

1.11 Система электроснабжения должна обеспечивать в условиях послеаварийного режима путем соответствующих переключений питание электроэнергией тех электроприемников, работа которых необходима для продолжения производства.
1.12. При определении объема резервирования и пропускной способности системы электроснабжения не следует учитывать возможность совпадения планового ремонта элементов электрооборудования и аварии в системе электроснабжения, за исключением случаев питания электроприемников особой группы.
При проектировании системы электроснабжения необходимо определять допустимое снижение нагрузки на время послеаварийного режима и планово-предупредительного ремонта.

2.2. Основными источниками питания должны служить электростанции и сети районных энергосистем. Исключение представляют большие предприятия с большим теплопотреблением, где основным источником питания может быть собственная электростанция (ТЭЦ). Но и в этом случае обязательно должна предусматриваться связь системы электроснабжения предприятия с сетью энергосистемы.

5.1. Напряжение каждого звена системы электроснабжения должно выбираться с учетом напряжений смежных звеньев.

автоматизированная система, управляющая
АСУ
Управляющая система, часть функций которой, главным образом функцию принятия решений, выполняет человек-оператор.
Примечание
В зависимости от объектов управления различают, например: АСУ П, когда объектом управления является предприятие; АСУ ТП, когда объектом управления является технологический процесс; ОАСУ, когда объектом управления является организационный объект или комплекс.
[Сборник рекомендуемых терминов. Выпуск 107. Теория управления. Академия наук СССР. Комитет научно-технической терминологии. 1984 г.]

автоматизированная система управления
АСУ
Совокупность математических методов, технических средств (компьютеров, средств связи, устройств отображения информации и т. д.) и организационных комплексов, обеспечивающих рациональное управление сложным объектом (процессом) в соответствии с заданной целью. АСУ принято делить на основу и функциональную часть. В основу входят информационное, техническое и математическое обеспечение. К функциональной части относят набор взаимосвязанных программ, автоматизирующих конкретные функции управления (планирование, финансово-бухгалтерскую деятельность и др.). Различают АСУ объектами (технологическими процессами - АСУТП, предприятием - АСУП, отраслью - ОАСУ) и функциональными автоматизированными системами, например, проектирования, расчетов, материально-технического и др. обеспечения.
[ http://www.morepc.ru/dict/]

автоматизированная система управления
АСУ
Система управления, в которой применяются современные автоматические средства обработки данных и экономико-математические методы для решения основных задач управления производственно-хозяйственной деятельностью. Это человеко-машинная система: в ней ряд операций и действий передается для исполнения машинам и другим устройствам (особенно это относится к так называемым рутинным, повторяющимся, стандартным операциям расчетов), но главное решение всегда остается за человеком. Этим АСУ отличаются от автоматических систем, т.е. таких технических устройств, которые действуют самостоятельно, по установленной для них программе, без вмешательства человека. АСУ подразделяются прежде всего на два класса: автоматизированные системы организационного управления и автоматизированные системы управления технологическими процессами (последние часто бывают автоматическими, первые ими принципиально быть не могут). Традиционно термин АСУ закрепился за первым из названных классов. Отличие АСУ от обычной, неавтоматизированной, но также использующей ЭВМ, системы управления показано на рис. А.1, а, б. Стрелками обозначены потоки информации. В первом случае компьютер используется для решения отдельных задач управления, например для производства плановых расчетов, результаты которых рассматриваются органом управления и либо принимаются, либо отвергаются. При этом необходимые данные собираются специально для решения каждой задачи и вводятся в компьютер, а потом за ненадобностью уничтожаются. Во втором случае существенная часть информации от объекта управления собирается непосредственно вычислительным центром, в том числе по каналам связи. При этом нет необходимости каждый раз вводить в компьютер все данные: часть из них (цены, нормативы и т. п.) хранится в ее запоминающем устройстве. Из вычислительного центра выработанные задания поступают, с одной стороны, в орган управления, а с другой (обычно через контрольное звено) — к объекту управления. В свою очередь информация, поступающая от объекта управления, влияет на принимаемые решения, т.е. здесь используется кибернетический принцип обратной связи. Это — АСУ. Принято рассматривать каждую АСУ одновременно в двух аспектах: с точки зрения ее функций — того, что и как она делает, и с точки зрения ее схемы, т.е. с помощью каких средств и методов эти функции реализуются. Соответственно АСУ подразделяют на две группы подсистем — функциональные и обеспечивающие. Создание АСУ на действующем экономическом объекте (в фирме, на предприятии, в банке и т.д.) — не разовое мероприятие, а длительный процесс. Отдельные подсистемы АСУ проектируются и вводятся в действие последовательными очередями, в состав функций включаются также все новые и новые задачи; при этом АСУ органически «вписывается» в систему управления. Обычно первые очереди АСУ ограничиваются решением чисто информационных задач. В дальнейшем их функции усложняются, включая использование оптимизационных расчетов, элементов оптимального управления. Степень участия АСУ в процессах управления может быть весьма различной, вплоть до самостоятельной выдачи компьютером, на основе получаемых им данных, оперативных управляющих «команд». Поскольку внедрение АСУ требует приспособления документации для машинной обработки, создаются унифицированные системы документации, а также классификаторы технико-экономической информации и т.д. Экономическая эффективность АСУ определяется прежде всего ростом эффективности самого производства в результате лучшей загрузки оборудования, повышения ритмичности, сокращения незавершенного производства и других материальных запасов, повышения качества продукции. РисА.1. Системы управления с использованием компьютеров а — неавтоматизированная, б — автоматизированная; I — управляющий центр; II — автоматизированная управляемая система (например, производство), III — контроль; тонкая черная стрелка — канал непосредственного управления компьютером некоторыми технологическими процессами (бывает не во всех АСУ); тонкая пунктирная стрелка показывает ту часть информации, которая поступает непосредственно в центр, минуя компьютер.
