N2 - For companies in the oil and gas industry, one of the key tasks is to determine and improve the energy efficiency indicators of their main facilities. Consequently, for large oil and gas companies, it is important to make a comprehensive analysis of the power supply of gas stations, as well as the development of modern technologies aimed at reducing energy consumption at fuel sales facilities. This thesis describes the effectiveness of the implementation of the technologies used to reduce energy costs, as well as the possibility of their application at other gas station facilities that do not use energy-efficient equipment. Thus, in this work, the thermal analysis of the building of a gas station based on the method of thermal imaging control is considered and a conclusion is made about heat losses through building envelopes and about the effectiveness of using various structural materials. Based on the thermal analysis methods for reducing heat losses through the ventilation system were introduced. Moreover, the existing lighting and fuel supply systems to customers' automobile tanks were analyzed. Experiments were conducted to measure energy consumption during operation of the pumps. Based on the experiments, a significant benefit from the use of a pressure fuel supply system was determined. Finally, a method of heat pumps application for heating a building and hot water supply has been developed, and the economic and energy efficiency of their implementation has been determined. According to experiments and calculations of energy efficiency indicators, gas station electricity consumption trends were built before and after the introduction of energy-efficient technologies, and the effect of the use of renewable energy sources was separately considered. As a result, a significant positive impact of the technologies being introduced on improving the energy performance of gas stations was revealed. Based on the developed methods for a complex analysis of the energy consumption of gas stations and identification of equipment mismatch with energy saving requirements, it is possible to improve significantly the economic performance of the enterprise. The effectiveness of methods to reduce energy consumption was analyzed based on the existing gas station No. 120, located in Ufa. The use of data obtained during the analysis of the gas station allowed to identify the main problems and specifics of energy consumption as well as determine ways of energy-saving technologies application.
