Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region continue to implement their investment programs. For 8 months of 2020, power engineers put into operation 2,275 kilometres of power lines and 239 MVA of transformer capacity. The volume of investments in these projects amounted to 6.951 billion rubles.
“We are focused on timely and full implementation of all key projects of the investment program, despite external circumstances. For us, this is a matter of principle, since the commissioning of new facilities and capacities is a key condition for the advanced modernization of the power grid complex, further dynamic socio-economic development of 20 regions of the country,” stressed Igor Makovskiy, Head of Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region.
Large volumes of work are provided for by the investment program as part of the digital transformation concept. Some of them have already been completed. Among the largest and most significant projects is the construction and launch of the 110 kV digital substation “Sputnik” with an installed capacity of 80 MVA in the Kominternovsky district of the city of Voronezh. The substation will provide power to residential complexes where 27 thousand people will live, one of the largest schools in Russia for 2,860 pupils, as well as polyclinics for 1,100 patients and ambulance stations being built in the Northern district of Voronezh.
Another significant digital transformation project was implemented in the Kostroma region - the digital Grid Control Centre (GCC) was launched here. Dispatchers of the Kostromaenergo branch online monitor the operation of about 24 thousand kilometres of power lines from the GCC, analyze the parameters of power quality and current data on voltage at the consumer.
A large-scale project for the automation of the distribution grid has been implemented in the Belgorod region. Power engineers of the branch have created a remote control system for 37 overhead power lines of 6-10 kV in the Belgorodsky, Yakovlevsky and Valuysky districts. On the longest and most significant sections of the overhead lines, more than 200 intelligent switching devices were installed, which will monitor the grid status in real time, and in case of emergency - instantly disconnect a faulty section and reserve most of the load.
Two more projects of distributed automation were implemented by power engineers of the Kirovenergo and Bryanskenergo branches based on the Yuryansky and Bryansky digital Distribution Zones. In addition, the specialists of the Bryansk branch laid about 17 kilometres of a cable line and carried out technical re-equipment of the 110/6 kV substation “Sovetskaya” for grid connection of the Martial Arts Palace under construction in Bryansk.
Power engineers of the Smolenskenergo branch completed work to increase the capacity of the 110/35/10 kV substation “Kozino”. This made it possible to improve the reliability of power supply to consumers in the Altukhovka microdistrict of the city of Smolensk and create opportunities for new connections. The substation “Kozino” will become digital in the near future. The Smolensk power engineers carried out technical re-equipment of the 110/35/6 kV substation “Gornaya”, which supplies a number of industrial and social facilities, including the Regional Hospital of Medical Rehabilitation in the Safonovsky district.
In the Ivanovo region, to provide connection to the power grid of an important social facility - a kindergarten in the village of Belyanitsy in the Ivanovsky district, power engineers constructed four overhead power lines with a voltage of 10 kV and 0.4 kV and installed a new package transformer substation of 10/0.4 kV.
