Improving the efficiency of electrical networks using an intelligent measuring module

Abstract

Relevance: Modern electrical networks are experiencing increased loads, more complex operating modes, and higher requirements for reliability and quality of power supply. Traditional control and management methods no longer provide the necessary speed and accuracy. In these conditions, the introduction of smart metering modules is becoming a key direction in the development of the electric power industry. They enable high-precision data to be obtained in real time, improve network efficiency, identify deviations in a timely manner and reduce operating costs. Therefore, analysing ways to improve the efficiency of electrical networks using smart metering solutions is a pressing task and has significant practical value.

Aim: analyse the possibilities for improving the efficiency of electrical networks through the introduction of an intelligent metering module and determine its impact on control accuracy, operational reliability and optimisation of power supply modes.

Methods: utilised a systematic analytical approach to assess the condition and structure of modern electrical networks, a technical and economic analysis to determine the effectiveness of implementing an intelligent measuring module, a comparative functional analysis of traditional and intelligent measuring devices, methods of mathematical and simulation modelling to reproduce network operating modes and assess the module's impact on its stability, as well as statistical data processing and correlation-regression analysis to interpret the results and identify key patterns.

Results: The study found that the introduction of an intelligent measuring module improves the accuracy of electrical network parameter monitoring, ensures rapid detection of deviations, and reduces the likelihood of emergency modes. Modelling showed an improvement in the quality of electricity transmission, increased network stability, and reduced power losses. A comparative analysis confirmed the advantage of the smart module over traditional measuring devices due to its higher information content, adaptability, and ability to integrate into modern monitoring and control systems.
