Risk Management of Oil and Gas Construction Sites in Isolated Energy Zones Using Energy Storage Systems

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the possibility and effectiveness of using energy storage systems to reduce the risks of energy supply during the construction of oil and gas facilities in isolated energy zones, as well as to develop an approach to the economic model for their implementation.

Methods. The paper used the analysis of actual data of operation of diesel generator sets at a construction site in Eastern Siberia, simulated the daily schedule of loads and electricity generation, and also calculated the parameters of energy storage systems to compensate for peak loads. Applied methods of technical and economic analysis and risk-based approach based on domestic and international studies on energy risk management.

Results. Optimal capacity of energy storage systems is determined, which provides for compensation of peak loads and reduction of total required power generation. The economic model built on the basis of the lease of industrial drives of the Russian company showed significant potential savings in the implementation of infrastructure projects in remote regions, including a reduction in fuel costs. For the model, parameters, terms of self-sufficiency and profit in the implementation of the project are calculated and given.

Conclusion. The use of energy storage systems in the construction of facilities in remote regions helps to reduce fuel and logistics risks, increase the stability of energy supply and financial stability of contractors. The developed model, taking into account the possibility of renting industrial drives of a Russian company, can be scaled to other industries and facilities - from energy-intensive industries to offshore platforms and settlements with unstable power supply, supporting the goals of low-carbon development and import substitution.
