Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region continue to implement projects to create in the regions of their operational responsibility (20 constituent entities of the Russian Federation) digital Grid Control Centres (GCC) and City Dispatch Points (CDP). The work has been ongoing since 2019 as part of the digital transformation program.
The Digital GCCs are created in regional centres, from where they manage grid facilities of the regions. The City Dispatch Points manage grids of cities with a population of over 100 thousand people. Already during 2019, 8 such projects were implemented in the service area of Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region. The Grid Control Centres were modernized in the Bryansk, Voronezh, Tula regions and the Republic of Mari El. The City Dispatch Points are in Belgorod, Stary Oskol, Izhevsk and Kostroma.
The modernized facilities for operational-technological management are set up on the basis of a new digital structure, which provides for the complete automation of processes. The dispatch control from Distribution Zones was transferred to the Grid Control Centres. All centres are equipped with digital communication channels and modern information systems that allow real-time monitoring of the state of electric grid facilities, see the flow of electric energy and power, analyze the quality parameters of electricity, current voltage data from the consumer, coordinate the work of on-site and repair crews.
Until the end of 2020, Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region are implementing nine more projects for the modernization of the Grid Control Centres and City Dispatch Points. The existing Centres for managing regional grids will be reconstructed into Digital ones in the Belgorod, Kostroma, Kursk, Vladimir, Kaluga, Ryazan regions. Dedicated City Dispatch Points are in Dzerzhinsk, Arzamas (both in the Nizhny Novgorod region) and Kaluga. In total, by 2024, 28 such facilities will be created in the regions where the energy companies operate.
“The use of a fundamentally new high-tech model of operational-technological and situational management, the creation of a single centre of competence can significantly reduce the number and duration of technological disruptions in grids and the deadline of grid connection, reduce the level of losses, and bring client services to a new level. The result is a significant increase in the reliability of the electric grid complex and an improvement in the quality of energy supply to consumers in 20 regions of the country,” stressed Igor Makovskiy, General Director of Rosseti Centre - the managing organization of Rosseti Centre and Volga Region.
