Abstract

An important direction in improving the technical and economic level of technologies and agricultural production machinery is to ensure high reliability of power supply. Power interruptions cause damage to both agricultural consumers and power supply organizations. Therefore, obtaining on-line information about the occurrence of emergency operating conditions, and, therefore, minimizing the time for making operational decisions on their elimination, is an urgent task. Known methods and technical control means are complex, expensive and not effective enough. At the same time, they have both advantages and disadvantages. In this respect, it is very important to work out efficient technical means of remote control of power line sectionalizing circuit-breakers of the agro-industrial complex on the basis of innovative methods of monitoring. The proposed control method is implemented in a device for remote control of the overhead line circuit-breaker operation based on an analog-to-digital converter, with subsequent software-based processing of the received data on a computer. This method implementation of circuit breaker opening remote control will improve power supply reliability of agricultural consumers.
