Hotline of power engineering specialists:
The head of the company inspected the operation of the regional power grid complex.
As part of his working visit, Igor Makovskiy inspected the region’s energy facilities. He familiarized himself with the work of Rybnovsky and Pronsky Distribution Zones, visited production departments of “Ryazan Electric Grids” and “Skopinsky Electric Grids”, a workshop for repair of transformers, examined the 110 kV substations “Oka” and “Ryazan” supplying large enterprises, socially significant facilities, cattle-breeding complexes, objects of scientific and production activity of the region.
The head of the company also inspected the 220 kV substation “Puschino” commissioned in 2010. Construction of the substation became possible due to the transfer of the branch “Ryazanenergo” to the tariff regulation method - RAB regulation. advanced high-voltage equipment installed at the substation, which meets all standards of reliability and safety, allows to reduce maintenance costs and improve process control. The power facility is fully automated. As part of the inspection of the substation, an unscheduled check was made of the scheme of uninterruptible power supply for the substation’s utility needs. Igor Makovskiy inspected the premises of the Distribution Zone, talked to the dispatcher, checked the accuracy of the information about the violations of the power supply of consumers in the operational documentation.
General Director of IDGC of Centre also visited the 110 kV substation “Skopin” located in the territory of the city of the same name. The facility provides electricity to the whole town of Skopin and five settlements - a total of 36.6 thousand people. In 2012, the substation underwent large-scale reconstruction and became an energy facility with modern power equipment and technological management tools that meet the latest requirements of energy saving, environmental friendliness and quality. The revived power facility significantly increased the reliability of power supply to consumers and enabled the dynamic development of infrastructure and industry in Skopin and Skopinsky district, eliminating the power shortage for several years ahead.
At the branch “Ryazanenergo”, Igor Makovskiy visited the Grid Control Centre (GCC), where he heard a report on the overall management system of power grids, and also familiarized himself with capabilities of the corporate geo information system (GIS) “Electric Grid”. The GIS uses data from various information systems and allows to quickly display production data at all levels of enterprise management - from the dispatcher of the Distribution Zone to the management. The pilot project is implemented at the branch in order to effectively manage planned and emergency operations, as well as to increase staff mobility. In addition, the software “Consumers. Operational environment”, allowing to inform consumers about power supply disruptions, was demonstrated to Igor Makovskiy.
General Director also held a meeting in videoconferencing mode (VC) at the branch “Ryazanenergo” with directors of 20 branches that are within the company's service area. The main topic of the meeting was the discussion of the Concept for the development of operational and technological management of IDGC of Centre and IDGC of Centre and Volga Region. Following the results, Igor Makovskiy instructed the heads of the branches of IDGC of Centre and IDGC of Centre and Volga Region to determine premises within two days to accommodate unified control centres for grids of all voltage classes in each branch.
Summing up the inspection of the electric grid complex of the Ryazan region, General Director of IDGC of Centre - the managing organization of IDGC of Centre and Volga Region Igor Makovskiy identified the key areas for further development and improvement of the grid: improving the manageability of grid infrastructure facilities, the reliability of overhead power lines, the reduction of failure rates.
