Power engineers at the Ryazan Oil Refining Company, a Rosneft subsidiary, are conducting pilot tests of a voltage stabilization system designed to improve the reliability of the plant’s power supply. Rosneft’s press service reported the development. The new system is expected to boost the stability of energy provision across all technological processes at the facility, support equipment productivity, and preserve product quality.
The RNPK stabilization system is designed to supply voltage to the plant’s electrical network if there is a drop from external power grids. Restoration of the plant’s electrical power occurs in under a second. By preventing voltage drops, the system minimizes the risk of equipment restarts and helps maintain normal operating conditions throughout the technological cycle.
The company noted that power engineers are currently testing the stabilization system under real production conditions to verify its effectiveness. Test results will also inform decisions about any further improvements to the production process that might be implemented later.
RNPK is a substantial energy consumer, so ensuring a stable power supply contributes to higher energy efficiency, improved equipment performance, and a safer industrial environment at the plant.
As part of the energy efficiency program, RNPK continuously monitors and controls energy resource use. It identifies economically justified energy-saving measures and develops an automatic accounting system for energy consumption. By the end of 2022, the enterprise reported a strategic economic impact from reducing heat and electricity consumption of 25.5 million rubles, underscoring the value of efficiency initiatives and reliable power management.
