Improving the Efficiency of Energy Supply in Rural Networks of 0.38 kV with an Asymmetric Load

The efficiency of energy saving in rural electric networks with a voltage of 0.38 kV is an important task, especially in conditions of asymmetric load. The article discusses the main causes of load asymmetry, their impact on electricity losses and a decrease in the quality of electricity supply. Methods and technical solutions aimed at increasing energy efficiency and reducing electricity losses are proposed. The possibilities of introducing modern digital technologies for monitoring and load management, as well as promising areas for the development of rural electric networks, taking into account the requirements of energy efficiency and sustainability of energy systems, are being considered. This paper examines the main causes of asymmetry, its impact on energy consumption and network parameters, and suggests technical solutions to improve energy efficiency in rural electric networks.
