ELECTRIC POWER COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC H02B7/00 H02J3/04 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrical engineering, namely, to power plants supplying electric power and concurrent thermal power to consumers. Electric power complex includes power supply system connected to the consumer having no less than one facility, co-generating plant, provided with thermal and electric power, power substation, and external heat supply source implemented as a boiler station. The above mentioned station includes co-generator or co-generators completed so that to meet the requirement of shared load and minimum power N_min generated by each co-generator to be no less than minimum allowable shared load D by power output provided for each co-generator under conditions of alternating power consumption. Each co-generator includes dynamotor and concurrent thermal power utilisation system. Co-generating station is connected to the grid substation in a stand-alone mode and is provided with co-generator switch control and monitoring system. It is also coupled with the consumer provided that concurrent thermal power from co-generators is supplied on a prioritised basis.

EFFECT: increased reliability and profitability of electric and thermal power supply to consumers.
