Tests of an adaptive energy saving complex (ACES) for industrial enterprises have started in Moscow as part of the city's innovative solutions testing program.
They are held on the basis of the scientific and production enterprise "Temp" named after F.Korotkov, part of the Russian military-industrial complex. The organization is engaged in the development of automatic control and fuel supply of gas turbine engines.
"Today, the program involves more than 140 urban and commercial sites for pilot testing of innovations. These include, among others, large industrial enterprises operating in strategically important industries. By this time, more than 120 tests of technological solutions have already been conducted in medicine, sports, education, information technology, landscaping, environmental protection and other areas. Another 40 projects are currently being tested," said Alexey Fursin, head of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of the City of Moscow.
The adaptive energy saving complex will be tested for a month. It consists of a control unit and additional modules-stabilizers, which help to unload the power grid. The device does not integrate directly into the enterprise network, but is connected in parallel and, therefore, cannot disrupt its operation. Its modular design will allow rational use of space in transformer substations.
It is planned that during the trial period, AKPP will improve the quality of electricity, unload the enterprise's network by 35%, which will reduce electricity costs from 10% to 25%.
"NPP "Temp" named after F.Korotkova, being one of the leading innovative industrial enterprises of the capital, is interested in evaluating promising technological solutions in the conditions of its own production.
Positive test results will allow not only to improve their own work processes, but also to give valuable recommendations to both the developer and other participants of the innovative infrastructure of the city of Moscow," said Denis Ivanov, General Director of NPP Temp.
