The new Network Control Center (NCC) united the dispatch department of two regions: St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. The modern complex uses digital technologies, ensures uninterrupted power supply to consumers and efficient operation of the power grid complex, reduces the time to eliminate technological disturbances and improves information interaction with mobile teams and the departments involved .
“In St. Petersburg, special emphasis is placed on social development. This is evidenced by the high pace of housing construction, record commissioning rates of schools and kindergartens. The substations that we launched today are also aimed at solving this problem. They will provide electricity to residential areas in the Vasileostrovsky and Pushkin districts, will contribute to the implementation of the project “Marine Facade”, where a fundamentally new urban environment is being formed. You can manage the operation of food centers in a remote from the new Network Control Center, Andrey Ryumin, General Director of PJSC Rosseti, said at the opening ceremony.
The control room of the new Network Control Center provides for the simultaneous work of 24 dispatchers per shift. They manage the equipment of the power grid complex located on the territory of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region.
“Dispatchers will manage 24 hours a day from the NCC more than 430 35-110 kV substations, 30,000 transformer substations and distribution points, more than 90,000 kilometers of power transmission lines. Thanks to a high degree of automation, today we are able to remotely commission two 110 kV substations that make up the system. These installations create a build-up of capacity for growing areas: residential development, transportation infrastructure All information about the modes of operation and the status of the substation equipment is sent via digital channels to the Grid Control Center, ”said Igor Kuzmin, General Director of PJSC Rosseti Lenenergo.
Both power installations can be safely called advanced – they provide observability of the operating modes of the equipment, remote control, all software and hardware tools have built-in self-diagnostic functions.
