Plenary session
The transformation has already taken place. The main factors of change are the new interconnected reality, new technological paradigms, and new patterns of everyday human behaviour. Global mobility and global isolation have fused, all activity models are permeated by technology and are implemented by human-machine teams which create new business models, new regulatory models and new professional and functional behavioural models in new markets. The era of engineering hypercomplex social, biological, technical, cybernetical and physical systems has arrived. In this reality, the Engineer has already become the new heroes of the modern age. For the first time in 30 years, Engineers, by forming a union with information and technology, prove beyond any doubt that their role is more important and demanding than that of economists, lawyers, marketing specialists, managers and many other professionals. In our opinion, the combination of engineering competences and other professional skills is the most promising for successful corporate, industrial and overall national development.
As a part of our conference, we propose to take a well-considered step towards the formation of a community of electrical engineers who can transform electrical engineering in a non-destructive way, taking into consideration the interests of all parties involved. We invite you to join the movement.

The "energy storage revolution" in the global electricity industry continues. According to RUSNANO, the global market for energy storage systems will reach approximately $80 billion in 2025. In Russia, with the assistance of EnergyNet, amendments to legislation governing the application of ESS in the energy markets are being prepared. Energy companies are implementing pilot projects to apply ESS. Do these trends mark the beginning of an "energy storage revolution" for Russia? Will widespread adoption of ESS lead to changes in the power industry structure in Russia?
When will there be an energy storage revolution in Russia?
The ESS market in Russia is on track and the large-scale application of energy storages is still ahead. This application depends to a large extent on whether new, improved technical solutions are available to meet the future requirements of market-significant consumers. These requirements and the possibilities of meeting them will be the subject of the session.
Projected requirements for energy storage systems
The growing demand for ESS in the Russian market does not necessarily mean that this market will be filled by the solutions of Russian manufacturers. The panellists will discuss the conditions under which domestic manufacturers can become successful in the home market and effectively compete with more experienced foreign companies.
When will Russian energy storage systems (ESS) become competitive on the market?

On 24 September 2020, Resolution No. 320 of the Russian Government came into force, launching a pilot project to create microgrids in Russia for commercial and industrial consumers — active energy complexes (AECs). Demand for distributed power generation solutions is receiving an additional driver. Globally, there has been a steady increase in demand for microgrids for industrial and commercial sectors.
There is a particular demand for engineering solutions that enable the rapid integration of microgrids, their optimal management and the formation of energy communities of generators and consumers in the AEC, local electricity markets and energy flexibility for them. Technological solutions to these problems will be the subject of reports at the session.

Managed Intelligent Connectivity (MIC) is a key and mandatory element in the architecture of active energy complexes (AECs) — microgrids for commercial and industrial consumers in Russia. The MIC is a hardware and software system that supports the parameters of power flow from the UES to the AEC within the permitted capacity of the AEC, as well as equalises the production and consumption of energy in the AEC and enables limiting the consumption of electricity by consumers within the AEC. The requirements for MIC are provided in Order No. 507 of the Russian Ministry of Energy dated 30 June 2020.
The subject of the panel discussion will be approaches and opportunities for the implementation of MIC based on modern digital energy technologies, including platform, transactional, multi-agency technologies and power conversion equipment.
The subject of the panel discussion will be approaches and opportunities for the implementation of MIC based on modern digital energy technologies, including platform, transactional, multi-agency technologies and power conversion equipment.
Managed intelligent connectivity: how to make it?
Energy flexibility is a new and trendy concept in the energy industry, which can be defined as the ability of power plants to purposefully influence the power and capacity balance in the power grid. The creation of flexibility markets is being discussed around the world, mainly in the development of system services markets, as well as the use of energy storage (ESS) and demand management systems.
In Russia, the practice of managing consumer demand in the retail market has been actively developing since 2019 as part of a pilot project; a target model of the relevant market is under preparation, and the possibility of widespread application of ESSs connected to power grids will open up in the near future. The Russian market needs technological solutions to make practices related to energy flexibility as mass and effective as possible, to integrate small distributed consumers and potential owners of ESSs, including electric vehicles, through the intellectualisation of management and digital technologies. The engineering capabilities to solve these problems will be the subject of reports at the session.

The need to integrate distributed sources of energy and energy flexibility — managed load and energy storages — increases as these energy solutions become cheaper. This opens up a fundamental opportunity to create the Internet of Energy — a system for the free exchange of energy and energy services between participants in distributed power generation. But how technologically prepared are we today for such an energy exchange? Do we understand all the underlying potential problems of the technical implementation of energy transactions between distributed sources of energy and consumers, peer-to-peer markets, the use of consumers' energy storages and power generation technologies? The panel discussion will focus on assessing the technological availability to implement the idea of the Internet of Energy and identify the most important unresolved problems and challenges that separate us from the construction of the Internet of Energy.

The open ontology-based development of a digital network model is the basis of digital transformation. Today, the power grid and its facilities de facto exist in the form of a set of separate, usually conflicting, paper or conventionally electronic documents supported within the individual organisation and service business processes. Under current conditions, it is impossible to make optimal decisions without a single grid model. In the first session, we will look at the practical experience in developing mathematical models of individual elements, possible applications of 'big data' technology, general approaches to the formation of physical modelling parameters, external critical factors and practical applications and talk about CIM standards as one of the methods of description.

In the process of solving any engineering or scientific problem, it is crucial to define the target function and set of limitations, then correctly formulate hypotheses and identify possible obstacles. We will talk about directions for research in digital grids at the panel discussion.
Setting goals for the transition to digital grids, technological obstacles along the way
The concept of digital substations in Russia has existed for over 5 years. Many pilot projects and research and development activities have been carried out. Discussions about the economic effects of using digital substations compared to traditional solutions, the most optimal architectures in terms of both secondary and primary equipment, are still ongoing. We will talk about the results of the first major R&D work, first conclusions and differences on the second day.
Digital substations — first practical results
The main common point in the Digital Substation community is that the introduction of this technology will fundamentally change existing design practices. At the panel, we will discuss the changes, the practical experience of design and software platforms.

In a recent report, the Hydrogen Council experts say that by 2050 hydrogen will account for 18% of the world's energy needs. Other forecasts are that global hydrogen consumption will grow to 370 million tonnes per annum by this time (to 800 million tonnes by 2100).
At the first session, leading experts in their fields will talk about the status of developments in the production, transportation and use of green, blue and yellow hydrogen in the world and in Russia. You will find out whether hydrogen can be obtained from hydrocarbons not only without emitting CO2 but also without its burial. Are there Russian electrolysis and fuel cell technologies that require cooperation with the West?

With the introduction of the carbon tax, the cost structure of many fuels may change permanently, especially when exported. At the panel session, customers, manufacturers, developers and consumers will try to forecast which ways of obtaining and transporting hydrogen and other energy sources will be most in demand.
Hydrogen in a zero-carbon economy
Which hydrogen energy technologies are in demand today and which are needed in the near future? At the second session, Russian and foreign customers will answer these questions and also carry out a detailed review of hydrogen energy road maps in Russia and Germany.
New technologies in the hydrogen economy
Will Russia remain the only state exporting energy abroad? Where and how can hydrogen technology succeed in Russia and abroad? Is the era of hydrogen vehicles ahead of us and does Russia have its own potential in the hydrogen race?
Hydrogen energy development scenarios: in Russia — is it possible to use hydrogen energy without domestic hydrogen consumption?

Ensuring cybersecurity requires joint work by all participants in the energy sector: suppliers of automation equipment and systems, enterprises, universities, government agencies, developers and integrators of information security solutions. The panel is proposed to discuss opportunities to build effective joint work for such a wide audience of participants.
Organisation of constructive cooperation between specialists from different business areas
The session will consider practical examples of ensuring the information security of energy systems (microgrid, electric power metering system, power substations).
Practical IS solutions and technologies
The digitalisation and introduction of advanced technologies require a different view of data and its role in the life of enterprises. At the same time, the role of all adjacent areas also needs to be reviewed. Existing information security practices may provide something new to these global processes. The challenges and opportunities of digitalisation in terms of information security will be addressed at a panel discussion.

Prospects for creating an all-Russian network training programme for the digital power industry.
"People make all the difference" — this thesis has been relevant over the years, and, rather, it becomes even more prominent in times of technological transformation. It is obvious that today only a limited number of universities in our country are ready to train personnel for the future power industry. A bold idea emerged in the depths of EnergyNet — to create a web-based form of training for students and teachers on the principles of University 20.35. Will it be possible to reach an agreement? Let's try it!

Generators stability and efficiency enhancement in power system with abruptly variable load by use of electrical energy storage system
Background. In off-grid power systems of oil-and-gas fields, abruptly variable power consumption often leads to the frequency and voltage fluctuations, increased fuel consumption and decreased generators running life. Load dumps and surges could cause the shutdown of generators which are sensitive to abrupt power changes. This problem is typical to gas engine generators. Therefore, usually a greater number of generators than the maximum load value requires is used to decrease a relative value of load change. Extra generators result in additional costs. Accordingly, the developing of the solution without these disadvantages is a topical issue.
Materials and methods. The proposed research offers the application of electrical energy storage system (EESS) ensuring smooth change of generators power. The research includes the following procedures: the analysis of measurements in the oil field power system, the determination of the optimal power system configuration based on gas engine generators and EESS, the development of EESS control algorithm, choosing EESS parameters, development, manufacturing and field testing of 1200 kVA 400 kWh EESS. The EESS has been tested in the off-grid power system which included the gas engine power plant with a power of 2250 kW.
Results. The EESS control algorithm ensuring steady change of generators power has been developed. The EESS parameters have been selected for the oil field power system. The simulation results have shown that the application of EESS makes it possible to reduce the number of generators required for sustainable operation of the power system with two drill rigs from 6 to 3. The results of the 1200 kVA 400 kWh EESS test in the off-grid power system have shown that the EESS successfully ensures sustainable and fault-free operation of generators.
Conclusions. The simulation results and field tests are evidence in favor of the appropriateness of the EESS application for providing smooth power change for generators operating in power system with abruptly variable load. The EESS ensures generators stability and enhances their efficiency. This reduces specific fuel consumption and increases generators running life due to increased installed capacity utilization factor and optimal mode for generators operation.

Prototyping cryogenic energy storage (CES) and technical and economic indices analysis for industrial CES
Cryogenic energy storage (CES) are developed for peak generation, hybrid power plants and renewable energy sources (RES). CES are based on the use of reliable power equipment, mastered by industry, including domestic production. Therefore, the main CES advantages include: long cycling resource (> 10,000 cycles), long service life (at least 30 years), low degradation rate. Due to the high density of stored energy, CES have such properties as compactness, the ability to be placed where needed. The above factors make it possible to scale CES to the needs of large-scale power generation (>100 MW/1 GWh).
The difference between CES, developed by the project team, from foreign analogues in the use of a wider range of liquefaction and generation cycles, allowing you to choose the optimal technical solution depending on the purpose of using the energy storage device. Creation and testing product engineering sample (prototype) stage and CES engineering and construction design procedures verification has been completed. A number of business cases have been formulated based on developed CES computer model.
CES for exhaust gas heat recovery from peak or stationary gas turbine units (GTU) is a hybrid power plant. It is a new product in the power control and demand management equipment market. CES for GTU solves the problem of reducing emissions when burning traditional fuels, since it allows 1.5 times to increase the generated power of a gas turbine without using additional fuel. Such systems round-trip efficiency is 70-90%. CES with compression thermal energy storage (or third-party renewable heat source) has zero emissions, refers to RES, solves the problem of increasing the share of "green" generating facilities in the energy system, the efficiency can reach 70%.CES with indirect heating by the calorific value of the fuel can generate about 8.5 kW per 1 m3/h of natural gas and has round-trip efficiency about 130%.
Technical and economic assessments of industrial systems have been carried out. The most cost-effective scenarios for their use have been identified, taking into account potential sources of payback: additional revenue from the difference between the day and night tariffs, a capacity sale agreement for RES, competitive power take-off.
Further implementation of the project will allow to bring new products to equipment market for peak generation and demand management, which reduce emissions when using traditional fuels or are RES.

CES with compression thermal energy storage (or third-party renewable heat source) has zero emissions, refers to RES, solves the problem of increasing the share of "green" generating facilities in the energy system, the efficiency can reach 70%.CES with indirect heating by the calorific value of the fuel can generate about 8.5 kW per 1 m3/h of natural gas and has round-trip efficiency about 130%.
Technical and economic assessments of industrial systems have been carried out. The most cost-effective scenarios for their use have been identified, taking into account potential sources of payback: additional revenue from the difference between the day and night tariffs, a capacity sale agreement for RES, competitive power take-off.
Further implementation of the project will allow to bring new products to equipment market for peak generation and demand management, which reduce emissions when using traditional fuels or are RES.

Digital service for predicting the power consumption of a feeder using deep learning methods of a neural network
The purpose of creating a service: to simulate a time series of power consumption on a network segment to be able to predict future values of the series based on current and past estimates using a recurrent neural network LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory).
It is assumed that the sensor data presented in the form of a time series describing the evolution of the feeder energy consumption cannot be approximated by a simple analytical expression and do not have a periodicity. Such a time series can be viewed as a stochastic process that can only be described in terms of a probability distribution.
Any continuously evaluated signal can be expressed as a directly time-varying function of the signal itself, other signals, environment, and noise.
The function describing the signal is likely to be extremely complex and non-linear. Environment variables can be unknown and not measurable. For this reason, it is more efficient to determine the invariant properties of the signal, and on this basis to make predictions.
In order to understand what is present in the signal data, we must apply several filters to them and highlight trends. Then remove the trends from the data and bring the signal to a stationary form. As a result, there is noise that we feed to train the LSTM neural network model. In this approach, to predict the future values of the series, we can use the previous values of the series and describe this process as autoregression. That is, at each time step of the input sequence, the LSTM network learns to predict the value of the next time step. To the obtained forecast, we add trends and, as a result, we get a forecast of the energy consumption of a particular feeder. We examine the signal in both forward and backward directions. And let's explore the dependencies between the elements. And both of these dependencies, both in the forward and in the opposite direction, give a good result. The network is trained using the backpropagation method. Error propagation begins from the very last layer in which the function that counts the error is protected. The element that got around the problem of fading and bursting gradients is a connection that stretches through the entire network and has no nonlinearity (since only addition and multiplication operations are used).

Network Master's Program "Intelligent Power Grids" (Energynet)
It is evidently that the training of personnel with an understanding Digital District Power Sstation concept will allow the successful development of the digital distributed electric power market.
The network educational program "Intelligent Power Grids" was developed taking into influence the level and characteristics of the resource provision of organizations participating in the program.
The main idea of the program is to provide students with the opportunity to synthesize project-based learning and research work into a concrete practical result (final qualifying work, patent, employment).
To implement the idea, students must participate in the project activities of an industrial partner and expand the options for educational track.
The first condition is implemented in the following way: the industrial partner has a list of topical areas and projects within which a master's student can conduct his scientific research. It is also possible to perform individual tasks for real production projects, accumulating practical experience.
The specialization and student’s set of competencies are based on the tasks of research and development. To expand the possibilities of training, the student is given the right to independently select the module (discipline) he or she needs, compensating for the lack of competence. Modules can be implemented on the basis of virtual academic mobility (interuniversity course catalogs in online format) or as continuing education courses. The basis for the offset of the results and inclusion in the individual plan, in this case, may be a certificate or certificate that the student receives at the end of the course. This allows diversifying the educational program and implementing it at the junction of various areas of professional activity.
This is a master's program that links the formal education model, new educational technologies and an industrial partner. Such interaction activates fundamental developments, develops into joint research and the implementation of their results into real production. Participation in this process of students forms in them the qualities necessary for innovative activity, as well as professional activity at the junction of various areas of science and technology.

Implementation of the cryptographic security in smart power meters
National program “Digital Economy” was adopted by authorities of Russia at late 2010s. Within this program new concept of the power delivery was introduced. It will dramatically change smart power meters market of Russia.
Main features of this concept is transferring control of the meters from citizens to supply companies, provide information security and increase rate of Russian electronic components within meters to 90%.
There was prepared some legal documents to support this concept: national standard of the interchange protocol with smart power meters (GOST R 58940-2020), guidelines how to implement domestic cryptography within this standard (MR 26.4.003-2019) and requirements to hardware that should be used for that purposes.
In Russia companies should have resolution from Federal Security Service to implement cryptographic features within their products. Most of smart meters manufactures has no such resolution and will be forced to use embedded security modules.
In 2020 new smart meter integrated circuit (IC) was presented by Milandr ICC JSC. This IC combines microcontroller with embedded analogue electricity metering system, DSP module and special features to fit all new government’s requirements.
Domestic RISC-V core remove foreign licensing risks. Active protective mesh grants security from probing access to transistors and bus layers. Number of the special sensors continually monitors power, clocking and light that protects against invasive attacks. Against side channel attacks hardware provides noise generators, frequency swing, random signals at active mesh and number of cryptographic coprocessors. The built-in true random number generator improves quality of randomized data (such as session keys). Special long-term key storage with guaranteed data lost at any tamping attempt should be a serious trouble for hackers. Security software is under negotiation with special service now.
Power metering in Russia will become huge and predictable market within next decade. Domestic hardware will be become available as soon as in 2021.

The science and education centre for digital technologies in the energy sector
As in many other industries, there is now a trend towards digitisation in the energy sector, which can be seen from a number of policy documents (such as the Energynet road map of Novosibirsk Technical University, the national project for the development and deployment of digital power substations and stations, as well as the Digital Transformation 2030 policy document). A significant obstacle for the implementation of the aforementioned plans is a serious lag in the training of industry professionals from the emerging digitisation trend. As the number and complexity of smart power grid automation devices increase, so do the requirements for the scope of training programmes. The content normally taught as part of the protective relays and automatics major is no longer enough for the operation of digital substations and power stations. Meanwhile, automated control systems specialists have very little familiarity with the primary equipment of electric power facilities. This problem could be solved by introducing new major programmes at Novosibirsk State Technical University to improve the qualifications of our graduates, such as, for example, Digital Technologies in the Energy Sector. All across Russia, training centres are being set up to teach digital technologies (Moscow Power Engineering Institute, Lenenergo, TC Mekhanotronika etc). However, beyond the Urals, there still is not a single training centre of this kind. For this reason, it's been suggested that a science and education facility be set up for the free sharing of knowledge and experience in smart energy technologies as well as for the training of highly qualified technicians, taking into account the digitisation trends in the industry, with the said centre being set up in the leading regional institution of higher education, Novosibirsk State Technical University.

Optimal operating strategies for energy storage systems
Extensive energy storage use for power systems applications is still largely limited by their high costs. Under such conditions it is essential to use optimal strategies of operating of energy storage systems that maximize their lifespan. Degradation of the electrochemical storage unit is a complex process that is dependent on the mean state of charge (SoC), depth of discharge (DoD) during each cycle, temperature etc. The analysis of experimental data on lithium-ion batteries shows, that the degradation vs. DoD is rather steep, so that it is better to cycle the battery 4 times at 20% DoD, than, say, one time at 80% DoD (the cycled energy is the same for both cases). This specific degradation behavior leads to the fact that it is often economically feasible to oversize the storage units over the minimum required capacity.
Taking the effects of degradation and battery efficiency into account we have developed strategies for optimal battery charge and discharge during grid services, such as peak shaving. The charging strategies appear to be rather complex, not corresponding to a simple constant current charge immediately after the grid service is provided. Moreover, they have to be changed during the battery lifetime to get more optimal operation. For instance, for a one peak per day case, the charging curve start very flat gradually rising towards the time of the scheduled full charge. This can be understood from the point of view of the battery life saving: degradation increases with the increase of the battery SoC, so it makes sense to keep SoC at minimum for as long as possible. Towards the end of the battery life, efficiency over a charge-discharge cycle becomes dominant, and the charging curve becomes more smooth over the whole period of time, available for charging, thus minimizing the losses.
For the two cycles per day operations, the charging strategies are simpler, but the optimal battery sizing is non-trivial — it appears to be economically feasible to significantly oversize the battery, so that by having the decreased relative DoD one extends the battery lifetime.

New methods for frequency control in power systems
Energy storage systems (ESS) are considered as an alternative to conventional generators for frequency response services. In most cases, however, this services represent a simple emulation of what the synchronous machines are doing: droop response, and "virtual inertia". The latter is being most actively studied in relation to the decrease in the power systems physical inertia due to increase in renewables penetration, and ESS are considered to be the main providers of the "inertial response service" to compensate for this. Although this approach seems to be reasonable, its advantages are questionable under the conditions of very low physical inertia in power systems.
In the present work we show, that the "virtual inertia" approach is especially ineffective, often leading to excessive control efforts during the frequency transients. Instead of the simultaneous power discharge to the grid in response to a sudden imbalance, energy storage units engage in power oscillations against each other, which is exactly caused by the virtual inertia setting. Moreover, the true emulation of the inertial behavior is not really possible by grid-following inverters — such control is a-causal. This difficulty can be overcome by using grid-forming modes of inverter control, but the control performance stays ineffective even for this case.
As an alternative to conventional approaches, we propose a new control technique — namely, frequency shaping control which allows to achieve the optimal combined response from a system with traditional generators and energy storage units. Our method allows to effectively reduce the system frequency dynamic response to a first order one, thus eliminating any oscillatory behavior, and the, so-called, frequency Nadir — a major problem in low inertia power systems. Besides improvement of the transient response, our method allows to completely rethink the frequency security assessment procedure — it can now be done by using simple algebraic calculations, rather than running numerically costly dynamic simulations. This can be especially valuable for application in microgrids, where simulation of every possible configuration/contingency can be infeasible.
