Abstract:
In work the short review of development of power supply systems and models of their organisation is given.
Now in Europe, Asia and America there are some large national and transnational power associations of various
degree of integration. The electric power industry organisation, despite the big variety of forms of realisation
worldwide, followed the general logic generalised in concept of industrial model. This model was unique
up to the end of 70-th years when in a number of the world countries there have been begun the practical experiments
directed on searches of new more effective principles of the organisation of electric power industry.
Preconditions to re-structuring and a decontrol in electric power industry of a steel of achievement in
technological area which have led to occurrence of competitive generating blocks of smaller capacity. The
greatest influence on decontrol possibilities in electric power industry was rendered by progress in systems of
transfer of the electric power. The level of technological development reached in the world allows to start
creation of new technical systems of 21 centuries already today. The further innovative development will
change model of the organisation and management principles in electric power industry, will demand reconsideration
of a role and a combination of development of the large centralised and small distributed generating
sources.
