Rosseti revealed the degree of dependence on imported technologies of the unified communication network of the electric power industry

The parent company of Rosseti - the Federal Grid Company - Rosseti (abbr. PJSC Rosseti) - in its annual report for 2022 published indicators of the use of domestic equipment in the unified technological communications network of the electric power industry (ETSSE). ETSSE is the basis of Rosseti's telecom infrastructure. This communication technology network is designed to support the production activities of electric power enterprises and process management in production at all levels of the management hierarchy with guaranteed quality of exchange of all types of information (sound, video, data).

The first structural element of ETSSE is a fiber-optic communication network, a basic technological network built using a fiber-optic cable on overhead power lines (OFL OL).

It follows from the annual report of Rosseti that in this segment the smallest share of the use of domestic equipment of all three structural elements of ETSE is 33.2%.

2022 results. From the annual report of Rosseti

FOCL inputs, as calculated by Rosseti, will increase the efficiency of technological control of power grid facilities and the reliability of power supply to regional consumers. By 2026, to ensure the information exchange of "big data," the length of the fiber-optic line is planned to be increased to 105 thousand km, including the resources of leading telecom operators based on long-term counter-lease relations.

And the main direction of ETSSE development is digitalization, which is achieved through the widespread introduction of modern equipment and technologies of new generation communication networks at power grid facilities.

The second element of ETSE is a high-frequency communication network (RF communication) over overhead lines. This is a type of communication that uses phase wires and overhead power line cables. Voice, data of telemechanics, automated information and measuring system of commercial electricity metering (AIIS KUE), relay protection and emergency automation commands required for control of electric power industry technical processes in normal and emergency modes are transmitted via such communication channels.

The share of use of domestic equipment here is high - 80.8%.

And the third structural element is a telephone communication network, which is built according to the radial node principle and provides interaction with the technological network of the system operator and other subjects of the wholesale electricity market. The development strategy here provides for the digitalization of the network, as well as the introduction of VoIP technology along with traditional services.

In this segment, the share of use of domestic equipment is 53.8%.

The geopolitical situation has so far had little influence on the indicators of the use of domestic equipment in ETSSE. The Federal Grid Company - Rosseti, we recall, was formed as a result of reorganization on the basis of FGC UES. According to the annual report of FGC UES for 2020, the share of the use of Russian equipment in the three segments of ETSSE was then 32.9%, 79.1% and 53.3%, respectively.

Actual and planned costs for domestic software

In 2022, PJSC Rosseti spent 1.32 billion rubles on domestic software, and the share of expenses for its purchase amounted to 62.99%. Such data are contained in the company's annual report for 2022.

In 2024, Rosseti plans to spend 7.33 billion rubles for similar purposes, which will amount to 92.62% in software purchases and will exceed the 2022 figure by 5.5 times. These indicators were approved in December 2022 in terms of the transition of Rosseti to the predominant use of domestic software.

From the annual report of Rosseti

The annual report states that in 2022 the board of directors of Rosseti approved the group's digital transformation strategy for the period up to 2030. In it, import substitution has become a mandatory element.

File:Aquote1.png
No significant adjustment of the targets is planned, but now they have become clearer. If earlier in the concept of digital transformation we talked in general about global trends, now in the digital transformation strategy developed in 2022, we indicate specific technologies, business areas and projects. The basic principles are the unification and standardization of business processes and IT solutions, as well as the optimal cost of owning IT assets throughout the Rosseti group. At the same time, import substitution and cybersecurity are mandatory elements, - the explanations of Konstantin Kravchenko, deputy general director for digital transformation of Rosseti, are given in the annual report.
File:Aquote2.png

The company has developed a detailed import substitution plan, and as of the summer of 2023, it creates internal standard standards and policies for equipment and software, taking into account various use cases.

Work has also begun on the formation of a long-term order for domestic IT infrastructure equipment with typical requirements. In addition, Rosseti creates its own solution testing centers.

One of the priorities is to increase the observability of the network using a CIM model (Common Information Model) based on the RS-20 infrastructure platform. This is Rosseti's own development, which allows removing the problem of integrating various IT systems, implementing the principle of single-entry data and increasing the level of cybersecurity.

This platform is included in the list of priority areas of import substitution and is an important element in the products of the industrial competence center (ICC) "Electric Power," the work of which is coordinated by the Rosseti group.

In general, in 2022, as part of the development of corporate information systems in Rosseti, work was carried out on 18 projects aimed at increasing the level of digitalization of the company's business processes. Among them are work on the design of an integrated corporate information system for enterprise management, as well as the design and preparation for the implementation of a new domestic electronic document management system.

As for import substitution of high-tech equipment, the company estimates the share of foreign equipment in its new purchases at 6.1%.

There are certain types of high-voltage equipment, electronics, communication systems that are not produced in Russia. Thanks to active cooperation with domestic enterprises, a number of positions have been closed in recent years: for example, this is a 500 kV power cable, 220 kV couplings, etc. We also work with partners from friendly countries, funds and development institutions to support production and the development of critical groups of equipment, "says Konstantin Kravchenko.
File:Aquote2.png

Rosseti's annual report provides an example of a high-tech project based on Russian manufacturers. One of them is the highly automated 220 kV Zubovka substation, the opening of which in 2022 was timed to coincide with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the company. This facility ensures the reliability of the system connections of the Astrakhan and Volgograd regions, as well as the output of the power of five new wind farms at once. More than 90% of the equipment installed at the substation was produced in Russia, according to Rosseti.

Rosseti is introducing a domestic production asset management system instead of the SAP platform

On August 1, 2023, it became known that the state-owned electric grid holding Rosseti, one of the main operators of the critical information infrastructure (CII) of Russia, refuses the decisions of the German company SAP in favor of domestic software. Read more here.

SAP Freeze and Money Search. Rosseti is thinking about how to carry out accelerated import substitution

Rosseti is working on the issue of abandoning SAP in subsidiaries that use the software of this vendor, Andrei Ryumin, general director, chairman of the board of Rosseti, said at an industry session at the SPIEF on June 16.

Group systems can be divided into corporate and technological. Over the past 10 years, Rosseti legal entities have introduced completely different solutions, and at the moment it has more than 1,000 technological systems - both Russian and Western manufacturers, as well as their own developments. The main task now is to create an integration bus that unites all technological systems of all subsidiaries and obtain data so that further you can switch to domestic products.

As for corporate systems, the situation here is simpler in terms of their number, but more complicated in terms of import substitution, says Ryumin. The largest software package used is based on SAP: "Unfortunately, we have many subsidiaries at SAP, including the largest - FGC UES is backbone networks, completely on SAP."

File:Aquote1.png
Here, probably, we decide on some kind of "freezing" of this system and the transition to a domestic manufacturer, most likely to "1C," says Andrey Ryumin.
File:Aquote2.png

At the level of study, the issue of creating a certain "energy SAP" is now, he added. At the same time, given the scope of the business, "1C" is still difficult to use throughout the group. Some other "heavy" SPIEF participants spoke about this, for example, the Magnit chain of stores.

The same is true in the Rosseti sales block, said Andrei Ryumin: "Everything is on Oracle there, and you also need to switch, but there is probably no analogue to cope with such data arrays as in sales companies." Perhaps here, too, something could be done on the basis of "1C."

At the same time, there are no critical areas where it would be completely impossible to switch to Russian products in Rosseti, the head of the group noted. This is, rather, a question of financing, and support from the state is needed here. After all, Rosseti is a regulated company, it completely depends on the tariffs established by the regions. It turns out that IT is also included in this "tariff menu."

Now Rosseti thus receives the money necessary for the operation of existing solutions and the operation or partial replacement of Western ones. But it is impossible to make an accelerated transition to Russian products at the expense of these funds, said the general director of Rosseti. I would have to either raise tariffs, or look for another source of funding, from where to take funds, for example, subsidies.

The possibility of accelerated depreciation would also help. For example, FGC UES switched to SAP HANA in 2019, i.e. this is almost a new implementation. It has a life cycle of more than 10 years. If you allow it to accelerate its depreciation, you could free up some funds faster than waiting for 10 years to pass, Ryumin explained, addressing the Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev, who was present at the same event .

Rosseti is introducing IoT sensors to combat electricity theft

On June 15, 2022, Rosseti Lenenergo and MegaFon announced cooperation, in which the energy company will introduce Internet of Things sensors to combat electricity theft. It is noted that analytics based on IoT sensors will quickly give a signal about abnormal readings from metering devices. Read more here.

2021

Rosseti began to use exoskeletons to service power grids

On December 28, 2021, it became known that Rosseti began to use exoskeletons to service power grids. The equipment developed by RT - Trusted Platforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan (a subsidiary of Rostec) is designed to protect the health of employees under heavy physical exertion, as well as to work with dimensional equipment or in a limited space. Read more here.

Use of drones on overhead power lines during emergency recovery operations

In mid-August 2021, Rosseti announced the start of drone use in the Leningrad Region. Drones are used on overhead power lines of the most massive voltage class - 6-10 kV - during emergency recovery work. Read more here.

Rosseti purchased VR simulators for training electricians

In July 2021, it became known about the acquisition of VR simulators by Rosseti for training and training employees in virtual reality. The supplier of this equipment was the Russian Nomix. Read more here.

Use of machine vision to monitor power transmission lines

At the end of May 2021, Rosseti first began to use machine vision to control power lines (power lines). The project was implemented at the Kurdyum substation in the Saratov region, which supplies power to the Balakovo nuclear power plant and provides electricity to the region with a population of 2.4 million people.

According to TASS, the Russian Information Agency, citing a statement by Rosseti, the company has installed a highly automated monitoring system, which includes thermal imaging, audio and visual control modules, as well as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

Rosseti first began to use machine vision to control power lines

Rosseti believes that the technology provides control over all key substation equipment and incoming power lines. In addition, the drone camera and thermal imager make it possible for power engineers to identify defective elements, for example, heating contact connections, damage to the electrical wire. Moreover, all this can be carried out, did not rise to the support itself, which not only significantly saves time, but also eliminates the risk of injury to technical personnel.

It is expected that the implementation of this project will improve the reliability of the power center due to the prompt identification and timely elimination of violations. Based on the results of pilot operation at the 500 kV Kurdyum substation, the power company will decide to scale the project.

This is not the first project to use the Rosseti UAV. Earlier in 2021, the company purchased a complex from the Vega concern, which includes a multicopter, multifunctional charging stations and software. All this is necessary in order to collect and analyze data on the state of networks from the drone and reduce the accident rate of power lines.

In addition, Rosseti uses unmanned aerial photography of a section of a power line in distribution networks. At the same time, machine vision in the electric grid complex of Russia by the end of May 2021 was introduced for the first time.[1]

Plans to create 9 TsUS in Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region by the end of 2020

Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region on July 9, 2020 announced the continuation of projects to create digital Network Management Centers (CCN) and City Dispatch Points (GDP) in the regions of their operational responsibility (20 constituent entities of the Russian Federation). Work has been underway since 2019 as part of the digital transformation program.

Digital CUSs are created in regional centers, from where they manage the network complexes of the regions. The GDP manages networks of cities with a population of over 100 thousand people. Already during 2019, 8 such projects were implemented within the perimeter of functional responsibility of Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region. Network management centers have been modernized in the Bryansk, Voronezh, Tula regions and the Republic of Mari E-City dispatch centers - in Belgorod, Stary Oskol, Izhevsk and Kostroma.

Modernized operational and technological management facilities are organized on the basis of a digital structure, which provides for complete automation of processes. Dispatching control from the areas of electric networks was transferred to TsUSS. All centers are equipped with digital communication channels and modern information systems that allow real-time monitoring of the state of power grid facilities, seeing electricity and power flows, analyzing electricity quality parameters, current data on consumer voltage, coordinating the work of operational-field and repair teams.

By the end of 2020, Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region will implement nine more projects for the modernization of the CCN and GDP. The existing Regional Network Management Centers in Digital will be reconstructed in Belgorod Kostroma Kurskaya,,,,,. Vladimirskaya Kaluzhskaya Ryazan regions Dedicated City Control Rooms - in, (both) and Dzerzhinsk Arzamas. Nizhny Novgorod region In total, To Kaluga 28 such facilities will be created in the regions of energy companies until 2024.

The training course is designed for 27 academic hours, conducted by leading specialists of Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region in the field of digitalization and teachers of training centers. Participants are divided into two streams: the first will study on May 19-22, the second - on May 26-29. Power engineers will receive knowledge about the essence and effects of digital transformation in the power grid complex and about all aspects of the projects implemented in Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region, including: Digital Substation and Digital RES, Intelligent Electricity Accounting and Telemechanization of Transformer Substations, Network Management Center, Digital Electrician, Electricity Storage "and" Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. " In addition, the students will be told about the implemented and promising R&D and innovation proposals in the "digital" field.

Students of the course will be able not only to study the material provided, but also to ask questions of interest to the lecturer and developers of the educational program online. At the end of the training, in case of positive final testing, participants will receive certificates of advanced training.

Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region are systematically engaged in digital education. Rosseti recalled that in November 2019, power engineers implemented an educational project for students on the basics of digital transformation in 20 regions of the country. As part of the course of lectures, which were given by leading experts of Rosseti Center and Rosseti Center and Volga Region at universities for a month, students got a unique opportunity to familiarize themselves with the projects of the first stage of digital transformation of the electric grid complex in the territory of the presence of companies, learn from the "firsts" about the specifics of the functioning of digital technologies in the electric grid complex, get an idea of ​ ​ process management and digital data in the electric power industry. The project attracted great interest from students and teachers. It was attended by more than 1,500 listeners in 20 regions of the country.

Digital Implementation Results

On April 20, 2020, it became known about some results of digitalization projects in Rosseti. The Group actively uses information technology to identify and eliminate violations.

As the head of Rosseti Pavel Livinsky told TASS, enterprises use digital lines, digital substations, unmanned aerial vehicles and other equipment to remotely control parameters in hard-to-reach places. The monitoring results are processed automatically, the time for finding damage and recovery is minimized, he stressed.

Livinsky drew attention to the project "Digital Overhead Power Transmission Line 110 kV," within the framework of which equipment is used to monitor the parameters of the overhead line and control ice formation, wire temperature, tilt of support elements, as well as weather monitoring, including wind speed, ambient temperature, air humidity.

File:Aquote1.png
As effects, we get: remote control of the parameters of overhead power lines, increase of frequency of personnel inspection of overhead lines up to 1 time in 2-3 years, qualitative detection of defects, automated processing of monitoring results, maintenance of lines by condition, timely and necessary work planning, team management based on predictive analysis of weather conditions and threats and equipment condition, quick search for damage, automated planning of expansion volumes and clearing of routes, - said the head of Rosseti.

The group also implements the Digital Electrician project, which is aimed at optimizing the processes associated with the organization and performance of work by mobile teams.

According to its own data, Rosseti managed to reduce the number of violations in the operation of power grid facilities by an average of 5% in the autumn-winter period of 2019/2020, and the indicator of the duration of outages at the supply point - by 9%.[2] 

2019

Rosseti began to use blockchain to account for electricity

In December 2019, Rosseti announced the start of using the blockchain for automatic electricity accounting. Such a system for the largest electric grid company in Russia was developed by Waves. Read more here.

Rosseti has deployed digital training grounds throughout the country: IoT, drones, Big Data and much more are piloted

In July, Rosseti published an annual report in which the company told what pilot projects in the field of digitalization the company is implementing in 2019. They were approved as part of the concept of digital transformation of the electric grid complex until 2030, adopted in December 2018. The company has not previously disclosed detailed details of these projects. According to their results, Rosseti will then make decisions on their scaling to other objects of its subsidiaries and affiliates, the annual report says.

One of the pilot projects that is underway at MOESK and IDGC of the North-West is Digital Electrician. This is a comprehensive information system (sensors, tablets, augmented reality helmets and more) integrated into the employee's overalls. It will allow the employee to remotely receive tasks, draw up the necessary permitting documents and tolerances in electronic form, record the fact of the start and end of work.

With the help of a mobile device, it will be possible to photograph equipment defects and quickly post information about them in the database to speed up the organization of work on the elimination of defects.

It will be possible to remotely observe the actions of the specialist, provide him with support during the task, make the necessary adjustments in a timely manner. Rosseti expects that monitoring the actions of personnel will increase the efficiency of work, as well as reduce injury hazard, danger of accidents.

From the annual report of Rosseti for 2018


Participants of this "pilot" in "MOESK," in particular, are 10 production teams from two branches and 40 electricians in "IDGC of the North-West."

According to the results of the project, the company expects a reduction in unproductive losses of working time by at least 10% with the prospect of improving this indicator to 20% with the full-scale introduction of the system into commercial operation), as well as the elimination of non-production activities.

Another pilot project is a software method for identifying foci of electricity losses using Big Data technologies. It is conducted in IDGC of Center and involves the automation of planning the work of power accounting teams on the basis of adaptive analysis of various factors that determine the likelihood of detecting unaccounted consumption at each point of supply and accounting for each section of the network.

From the annual report of Rosseti for 2018


Big Data is also planned to be used to manage electricity transmission, according to the annual report of Rosseti. The corresponding pilot project is underway at Rosseti Lenenergo. It aims to create an intelligent electricity transport accounting system using big data and machine learning technologies to solve the problems of identifying abnormal electricity consumption points with actual or model data.

Two pilot projects are related to the application of blockchain technology. One of them - in Yantarenergosbyt - involves the introduction of a blockchain settlement system in retail electricity markets.

From the annual report of Rosseti for 2018


Another pilot project, which is underway at IDGC of Urals, is related to the formation of volumes and payment by consumers of electricity in the system using blockchain. With its help, Rosseti plans to assess the possibilities of using this technology in organizing a settlement system in retail electricity markets.

One of the key pilot projects for digitalization in Rosseti is the prediction of the probability of equipment failure, conducted by Lenenergo. The company estimated that it can show payback within seven years.

From the annual report of Rosseti for 2018


As part of the innovative development program, in turn, Rosseti conducted R&D to develop an automatic control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle used to identify malfunctions of elements of overhead power lines, which is planned to be tested at IDGC of Center. A prototype unmanned aerial vehicle was developed, a system for charging it at intermediate points of the route, which allows increasing the coverage of the territory, a software and hardware complex for automatic control of the device during the monitoring of overhead lines.

The use of a drone simplifies and speeds up line inspections, makes it possible to prevent technological disruptions in their operation, allows you to obtain an objective assessment of the state of line elements thanks to the use of diagnostic sensors, reduces the required number of top inspections of line elements.

It also minimizes the direct participation of a person in inspections and the need to turn off overhead power lines, Rosseti explains in its annual report.

2018

The concept of digital transformation of the power grid complex for 1.3 trillion rubles until 2030 was approved

On December 21, 2018, the Board of Directors of Rosseti, chaired by the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak, approved the concept of "Digital Transformation 2030." It involves the complete transformation of the energy grid infrastructure until 2030 through the introduction of digital technologies.

All measures to implement the digital transformation program will be implemented within the framework of existing tariff and balance sheet solutions, that is, based on the capabilities of investment programs of subsidiaries, which will not affect the tariff for the end consumer, Rosseti said. The company expects that the payback of the program due to its own efficiency, long-term regulation rules, as well as the possibility of preserving the effects obtained as sources for investments will allow Rosseti to increase the volume of dividend payments.

With reference to foreign experience, Rosseti notes that the digital transformation of power grids can significantly reduce the operating and investment costs of grid companies, reduce electricity losses, increase reliability, availability of electricity and create a set of additional services for customers.

Digital transformation, in addition, involves savings in the implementation of investment programs, opens up new opportunities for the advanced development of network infrastructure while increasing the profitability of the company's business. In addition, the introduction of digital solutions will ensure that the infrastructure is ready for new technological challenges.

A separate article is devoted to the details of the digital transformation program.

In 2019, the implementation of one of the largest digitalization programs of a federal scale began - in PJSC Rosseti. The program is very ambitious, both in terms of cost - 1.3 trillion. rubles, and in terms of the level of goals set (creating a fully digital network), as well as due to the colossal complexity of the problems that have accumulated for decades. The idea of ​ ​ using advanced digitalization technologies in order to jump most of the Russian electricity industry in one breakthrough to a new stage of development is certainly attractive. However, practical implementation is an incredibly difficult task. It is no coincidence that the concept of "Digital Transformation 2030," which was approved by the Board of Directors of PJSC Rosseti on December 21, 2018, is sometimes called the "GOELRO Plan of the 21st Century." TAdviser understood the main parameters of this plan:

Plans for cooperation with China in the field of digitalization

In October 2019, Rosseti presented the company's plans for digitalization and announced that they were ready to expand international cooperation, including with Chinese partners: in particular, with the GEC of China and China Energy Engineering Corporation to participate in projects for the construction and modernization of power grid complex facilities in Russia, China and third countries, with the involvement of joint international funds.

Rosseti entered into an agreement with the GEC of China, which implies joint work to introduce digital network technologies in the Russian power grid complex, as well as localizing the production of equipment necessary to create digital network systems on the territory of the Russian Federation.

One of the pilot projects may be the creation of a digital RES in IDGC of Urals.

2016: Pilot implementation of "MyOffice"

In October 2016, New Cloud Technologies informed TAdviser that it had signed a cooperation agreement with Rosseti. Cooperation includes a pilot project, within the framework of which the product "MyOffice Professional" will be installed at the workplaces of Rosseti employees. It includes a set of editors for working with documents on all platforms, enterprise server solutions for storing documents, an email server, a collaboration server for working on documents in all popular web browsers, and a set of applications for mobile devices running Android and iOS.

2015: Rosseti entrusts SAP with managing production assets

On October 28, 2015, it became known about the conclusion of an agreement between SAP and Rosseti on the start of joint actions to implement the concept of developing the production asset management system of the latter[3].

According to the joint statement of the partners, the efforts of the experts will focus on solving key issues of the implementation of the "Standard Development Plan for the Production Asset Management System of Subsidiaries and Affiliates of PJSC Rosseti for 2015-2017." The system will help Rosseti to increase the efficiency of infrastructure maintenance and thereby improve business processes. To improve its effectiveness, it is planned to use the HANA platform.

Cooperation will contribute to the unification of world practices and the company's existing experience in the construction and operation of power networks. This will make it possible to create new approaches to managing business processes in the industry, which can be replicated and ensure the development of Russian power.

2014: Completion of the Enterprise Data Center Project

In November 2014, Rosseti, IBM and IT Energy announced the completion of a project to create a single corporate data center for Rosseti and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The project was prepared in order to increase the productivity and reliability of corporate systems, provided that the costs of the power grid complex enterprises are optimized. Read more here.
