Announcement of the magazine "Electric Energy. Transmission and distribution ", # 4 (19), 2013

The opening section of the fourth issue of “Electric Energy. Transmission and distribution” magazine is “Accent" which focuses on two of the most interesting topics for specialists of the electric power industry.

The author of the first article “Multiagent technology is a new approach to the management of technological infrastructures” is Andrey Cherezov, Deputy Energy Minister of RUSSIA, Member of the Editorial Board of the magazine describes the control principle of Multiagent active-adaptive electric network and its functioning and development.

He believes that this principle appears to be the most appropriate in terms of the need for uniform technical policy, accessibility, reliability, survivability, efficiency and sustainable development of energy systems related to critical infrastructures.

The second story – interview with the head of the laboratory “Intellectual energy” of JINT (Joint Institute for High Temperatures), RAS, Vice-President of the Architectural Committee to establish IPS AAG at joint scientific and technical Council of JSC FGC UES and the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladimir Dorofeev continues the theme of development of active-adaptive networks.

In his interview Dorofeev talks about the features of the architecture of intellectual power system with active-adaptive network and the necessary conditions for its introduction. The first step in this direction was the development of the concept of development of intellectual power system with active-adaptive network (PPS AAS).

This column includes reports from the Asia-Pacific Energy Forum (APEF-2013) which was held in Vladivostok in Russky island and from 21-th International Exhibition-Conference 2013 POWER-GEN Europe, Vienna, Austria, which held a seminar "Comparative evaluation of approaches to energy saving in Russia and Austria: the experience of the application of energy service contract mechanisms”, information support to this event was provided by magazine “ELECTRIC ENERGY. Transmission and distribution”. An important material in this category is the article related to reliable and efficient energy supply of XXVII World Summer Universiade in Kazan achieved by the highly professional work of the specialists of JSC "Grid Company" and JSC "Srednevolzhskselelectrosetstroj".

The section ends with interview with the President of the Organizing Committee of the World Energy Congress 2013 (WEC Daegu 2013) Cho Hwan-eik. Editor-in-Chief Ekaterina Guseva is a member of the Organizing Committee on preparation of participation of the Russian delegation in the WEC Daegu 2013.

One of the topical and important issues of electric power industry is the quality of planning and implementing investment programs. Deputy Chairman of the Board of JSC FGC UES on investment Valery Goncharov talks how to make an objective assessment of the effectiveness of these programs. He believes that "a significant increase in the volume of investment programs (IP) requires a revision of the requirements for the quality of planning and rethinking approaches to the assessment of the efficiency and quality of their implementation.

Widely practiced method of assessing when the actual deviation of the main indicators of the planned values within 5% (“method 5 %”) is considered to be valid stops to provide а complete picture under the increase of IP volume. A simple example: the amount of annual investment program grid is 8 billion rubles then IP shortfall of 5% is 400 million rubles, which is the same as the cost of a 110 kV substation or distribution network for four city blocks”. According to the author "when assessing the quality of investment planning it is necessary not only compare financial data to planned resulting from adjustments of IP for 1-3 months before the report but also with the initial plan approved earlier in the year. A specific indicator of the quality of planning also provides a number of adjustments in the planning period. Analyzing the relationship of time-error planning between the date of approval of the new version of the investment program and the reporting date you can also do very interesting and objective conclusions on the quality of planning ".

The heading "Innovation" highlights the implementation of the strategy and program of innovation development of the JSC "Russian railways" for the period up to 2015 which is the development of technical tools and technologies that meet world standards. JSC "RZhD" is one of the few Russian companies that in terms of investment in research and development is on a par with the leading railway companies in the world.
