Automated Systems Laboratory (AC) - always up!

In 2012, Automated Systems Laboratory celebrates its 15
th anniversary The company was established and got its independence in April 1997 after seceding from ASNI Engineering Center. The times were not simple both for the country and for industrial automation. The Default of 1998 was not far off with the subsequent expansion of foreign vendors to Russian market and customers' disregard of domestic products. All these challenges had to be surmounted by a young and ambitious team of Russian scientists. Dr. M.I. Pertsovsky, Director of Automated Systems Laboratory (AC) "www.actech.ru" overviews both the company's evolution from its early stages and its outlook.


Keywords: industrial automation, measuring systems, automation of scientific research and comprehensive tests.

Smart Grid technology in Russia and abroad

Sparling J.  The advantages of power consumption management

The paper shows how state-of-the-art smart technologies enable power consumption optimization: dynamic pricing, peak demand shift, specialized equipment for residential buildings, etc. The participation of governmental organizations and the development of appropriate open standards further promote Smart Grid initiatives.

Keywords: dynamic pricing, peak demand, relay, thermostats, smart meters, renewable energy sources, power consumption management.

Kupriyanovsky V.P., Bogdanov A.G., Volkov S.A., Sinyagov S.A.  Power industry, Smart Grid, smart industrial solutions for power

The paper examines practical opportunities of Smart Grid concept implementation at Russian industrial enterprises. It adduces success stories of Smart Grid elements implementation in the countries with power industry structure similar to Russian. The implementation of these opportunities may presumably enable the planned Smart Grid implementation in Russian power grid in reasonable time and at minimum cost. The availability in Russia of approaches and toolkits successfully applied in western Smart Grid projects may be a key to the success of the process and to the decrease of risks.

Keywords: Smart Grid, power grids, loss of energy, standards, geoinformation systems, substation.

Moore A., Tyunyatkin A.V.  A smart power grid

The paper shows that the availability of a control strategy for large amounts of real-time data is a prerequisite of the efficiency of electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. Data integration became a key factor on the path to smart power grid. The paper discusses the requirements to the power grid's infomedia and the key features of real-time data infrastructure. Case studies from power companies' experience are described, which demonstrate the challenges posed to the companies and the ways to overcome them.

Keywords: Smart Grid, real time, renewable energy, substation, distribution, data infrastructure, meter, city with smart grid, micro-grid.

Ledin S.S.  The "Electric energy as commodity" concept as a driver of Smart Grid development

The paper presents the Russian project of smart meters deployment launched in 2011 in the city of Perm (Russia) and informs about other projects of accounting systems development for retail market. The requirements to accounting instruments and systems within these projects seldom intersect that means the lack of unified approach in the field of smart metering. The paper shows that the attitude to electric power as commodity may promote innovations to power industry.

Keywords: electric power, commodity, Smart Grid, Smart metering, smart meters, electric power accounting system.

Skvortsov D.A.  Schneider Electric for Russian smart grids

The paper shows the importance of Smart Grid technology for world energy and discusses the specificity of Russian power industry. The activities of Schneider Electric aimed at smart grids development is presented.

Keywords: Smart Grid, smart power grids, renewable energy, project payback calculation, power companies's structure systematization, redundancy.

Piani G.A.  "smart" grid: still a myth, it's time to become the reality!

The key aspects of Smart Grid operation and their possible application in Russia are examined. The technology of "smart" grids based on KIPP-2M smart meter from Communication and Telemechanics Systems is described.

Keywords: Smart Grid, smart meter, demand management, load management, energy efficiency, distribution networks.

Smart Grid & DEKONT, or a standard solution for intelligent distribution networks

The paper presents an integrated solution based on DEKONT hard-/software complex aimed at a "smart" control system for power grid modes and equipment.

Keywords: Smart Grid, smart power grids, scheduling, process control, relay protection and equipment, energy accounting.

Gorelik T.G., Kirienko O.V.  Digital substation

Application of digital relay protection devices, emergency automation, base-level process controllers, commercial power accounting and quality control systems is an important development line in domestic and world power engineering. The appearance of new international standards along with the development of state-of-the-art information technologies opens up the opportunities for innovative approaches to automation through enabling the development of a new type of substation - a digital one.

Keywords: digital substation, computer-aided design system, power objects, standard, digital devices.

Maslov A.M., Mayer S.  ABB's experience in the implementation of a digital substation concept

The appearance of IEC 61850 standard commemorated the и breakthrough in substation automation. The implementation of IEC 61850-9-2, which describes data sample transmission via Ethernet - the so-called process bus, is just an example. By integrating this integrated into substation automation systems, ABB has combined its more than ten-year experience of making "nonconventional" voltage and current measuring transformers with novel communication technologies. Now, the opportunity of switching primary high-voltage equipment to ABB's relay protection devices exists that enables higher reliability and availability along with secondary circuit optimization at the substation. ABB has been now reconstructing the substation, which it has commissioned in 1999; thus the world-first commercial project based on IEC 61850-9-2LE is being implemented.

Keywords: IEC 61850, process bus, nonconventional measuring transducer, digital substation.
