Introduction. The increasing number and duration of the consequences of emergency situations associated with the violation of the conditions of normal living of people requires the creation of autonomous temporary field camps to accommodate the affected population, which, as a rule, create and maintain rescue formations. In the complex of tasks aimed at providing life support to the affected population and rescue units in field camps, their electric power supply plays an important role. However, there are no autonomous sources of electric energy for the power supply of life support for people in the field in the organizational and staff structure of rescue units. At the same time, it is necessary to determine the number of electric energy sources for the power supply of life support for people in field camps, not only taking into account the application of the provisions for calculating the electrical loads of consumers, but also taking into account additional factors, in particular, taking into account the output of electric energy sources for operational reasons, the failure of service personnel, the organization of technical support of the power supply system, its planning, repair. The purpose of the study. Electric power supply of field points of temporary accommodation of the affected population and rescue units, ensuring the reliability of their electric power supply, minimizing the influence of the uncertainty factor when planning their power consumption. Research methods. The main provisions of the calculation of electrical loads, system theory, set theory, probability theory and the apparatus of mathematical statistics. The results of the study. Recommendations have been developed on the composition of electric energy sources for the power supply of life support to the affected population and rescue units when placed in field camps, taking into account additional factors affecting their composition, in particular, the output of electric energy sources for operational reasons, the failure of maintenance personnel, the organization of technical support of the power supply system and other issues. Conclusion. The scientific and methodological approach is justified, which allows taking into account additional factors affecting the formation of the composition of electric energy sources for the power supply of life support of people in temporary accommodation points, which, in combination with scientific and methodological approaches to substantiate the electrical loads of consumers, allows us to develop a comprehensive scientific and methodological approach to substantiate the composition of electric energy sources for the power supply of life support of people. The resulting composition of electric energy sources can be refined and serves as an example of assessing the stability of the power supply system, the criterion of stability of which is its ability to provide consumers with electric energy.
