Ruselectronics Holding Rostec State Corporation has begun developing autonomous combined power plants based on renewable energy sources (RES) for power supply to remote areas in the Arctic region of Russia. The equipment is designed to supply power to small and temporary settlements, oil and gas fields, polar meteorological stations, telecommunications and navigation facilities in areas with decentralized power supply and has no analogues on the Russian market. Pilot operation of the units is planned to be carried out on the territory of Yakutia in 2020-2021.
The integrated power plant will be able to generate electricity, store it, convert it and provide it to consumers. During the implementation of the project, three autonomous power modules are being developed, including in various configurations an electric energy storage device based on lithium-ion batteries, a photovoltaic generating system, a wind generator, a floating mobile microhydroelectric power station, and a backup diesel generator. The installation provides consumers with electricity using an intelligent energy management system and remote diagnostics. All autonomous power modules are placed in containers of arctic design.
