Abstract:

Despite the large number of works by leading Ukrainian and foreign scientists to reduce operational losses in electricity transmission, the expediency of further research is conditioned by the growing need for the allocation of investment resources between technical and technological solutions so as to achieve the optimal solution to this multi-purpose problem.

Purpose. To develop and test a model of targeted programming for optimal allocation of investment resources of the energy supply enterprise among different variants of technical and technological decisions on reducing operational losses in the transportation of electricity from its sources to consumers.

Methodology. The authors use the system and analytical method, the method of targeted programming, which makes it possible to distribute the investment resources of the energy supply enterprise.

Findings. As technical and technological solutions reflect the indicator of loss reduction, the authors propose to consider them in more detail. A model of targeted programming of resource allocation among these solutions has been developed. Thus, the proposed model of targeted programming provides the opportunity to make the most effective decisions by the management of power supply enterprises in order to minimize operational losses during the supply of electricity to consumers.

Originality. A model of optimal allocation of investment resources between technical and technological decisions concerning reduction of operational losses at power supply on the basis of the method of target programming is developed. This model allows one to distribute investment resources in such a way so as to satisfy the selected optimization criteria and achieve the best result for the energy supply company.

Practical value. The proposed model was implemented at ‘Prykarpattiaoblenerho’ PJSC energy supplying enterprise, and the obtained results allow solving problems of reduction of electric energy losses during transportation.
