The development of the head of the accident prevention automation sector of Rosseti Kuban Vladimir Kizin in collaboration with a colleague from FGC UES Artem Bondarenko, was among the best innovative projects according to the results of the VII All-Russian competition ‘New Idea-2020’.

The project of Kizin and Bondarenko ‘Development and implementation of the software package ‘Accident prevention automation. Devices and instructions’ took the second place in the competition for the best research and technology development among youth of enterprises and organizations of the fuel and energy complex. The software package is a multifunctional tool for processing a large settings database of systemic accident prevention automation. With its help, the analysis of the operation of automation is reduced from several hours to one minute, and as a result, the time to restore power supply to consumers in case of an emergency is significantly accelerated. In addition, the development can be used as a training simulator for emergency training of the operating personnel of PJSC Rosseti.

The State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Anastasiya Bondarenko presented the award and diploma for the ‘Best Innovative Project’ in the section ‘Power Engineering, Thermal Power Engineering’ to the authors of the project during the ceremony in Moscow.
