Abstract

Purpose. Development of methodological and technical solutions aimed at improving energy efficiency and ensuring the reliability of power supply systems of industrial enterprises.

Methodology. System analysis of operating modes of power supply systems, experimental measurements using hardware–software complexes, and assessment of their impact on reliability and power quality indicators.

Results obtained. An approach to the formation of operating modes of power supply systems that contributes to improving energy efficiency has been proposed. The influence of transient processes on power quality has been investigated, and practical recommendations for optimizing the operation of energy-intensive enterprises have been substantiated.

Scientific Novelty. An innovative methodology for monitoring the insulation parameters of electrical networks operating at 6–10 kV has been developed, enabling diagnostics under real operating conditions.

Practical Value. The study proposes a comprehensive framework aimed at enhancing the energy efficiency and reliability of power supply systems. The obtained results are applicable to the modernization and optimization of industrial power networks.
