DEVELOPMENT OF A SOFTWARE COMPLEX FOR ESTIMATING ENERGY PRODUCTION

Abstract

The article discusses the concept of hybrid power supply of a cottage settlement with respect to solar-gas energy generation. Because electricity is expensive, then innovative hybrid systems have become a way out of this situation, because. they make it possible to completely abandon housing and communal services not only for individuals, but also for enterprises. They fully provide buildings and production facilities with all the resources necessary for their daily full functioning. As alternative sources, solar energy, wind energy, sea waves, ebb and flow, rivers, etc. can be taken. To build a hybrid system, several diverse installations are used that work to provide electricity to one object. In this regard, the use of renewable energy sources (RES) as cost-effective and reliable energy sources, as well as the use of hybrid energy supply systems (HPS), combining RES and fossil energy sources, is becoming an urgent and important task of world energy policy. The analysis of literary sources showed a favorable location of the territory of Ukraine and the Donetsk region for the use of renewable energy sources for the purpose of power supply of objects. The city of Mariupol and its suburbs are also suitable for the use of RES. Using solar insolation data from the NASA database, the technical and gross potential of solar energy for the conditions of our region was calculated, and the option of a solar power plant of a certain capacity was selected to supply the cottage village, including the amount of electricity consumed before and after the introduction of the solar station. The developed software gives an estimate of the generation of electricity by solar panels and an estimate of the hybrid system as a whole. To write the program, Microsoft Visual Studio, a series of Microsoft products that include an integrated software development environment and a number of other tools, was used. The developed program is focused on assessing the generation of electrical energy by solar panels, as well as assessing the possibility of the existence of a hybrid system (electricity / gas), and also allows you to determine the amount of purchase of the missing electricity from the state.
