Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region launched training for employees under the program 'Digital Transformation in the Electric Grid Complex'. It involves heads of production departments of the energy companies and their deputies, as well as specialists directly involved in digitalization events - a total of about a thousand people. The training is carried out in the format of a webinar: in the conditions of a complicated epidemiological situation, the management of Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region adjusted the training and staff development system, transferring all events to the remote mode.

'Digitalization is a key area of our work in the near future. For its successful implementation, we need to equip the personnel with the appropriate skills and competencies and, given the constant development of high technologies, help the staff maintain them at the proper level. Under the current restrictions, we take all necessary measures to ensure that our employees can acquire new knowledge, ensure the continuity of the educational process and the safety of its participants,' stressed Igor Makovskiy, General Director of Rosseti Centre - the managing organization of Rosseti Centre and Volga Region.

The course is designed for 27 academic hours, it is conducted by leading experts of the companies 'Rosseti Centre' and 'Rosseti Centre and Volga Region' in the field of digitalization and teachers of training centres. Participants are divided into two streams: the first will go to study on 19-22 May, the second on 26-29 May. The power engineers will gain new knowledge about the essence and effects of digital transformation in the electric grid complex and about all aspects of projects being implemented at Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region, including: 'Digital Substation' and 'Digital Distribution Zone', 'Smart Electricity Metering' and 'Telemechanization of transformer substations', 'Grid Control Centre', 'Digital Electrician', 'Electric energy storage' and 'Unmanned aerial vehicles'. In addition, the learners will be told about ongoing and promising R&D and rationalization proposals in the 'digital' field.

The course participants will be able not only to study the material provided, but also to ask the lecturer and the developers of the educational program online questions they are interested in. Upon completion of the training, in the case of a positive final test, the participants will receive certificates of advanced training.

Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga systematically engage in digital education. Please, be reminded that in November 2019 the power engineers implemented a pilot educational project for students on the basics of digital transformation, which has no analogues in Russia, in 20 regions of the country. As part of the lecture course that the leading experts of Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region gave for a month at universities, the students got a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the projects of the first stage of the digital transformation of the electric grid complex in the territory of the companies' presence, to learn firsthand about the specifics of the functioning of digital technologies in the electric grid complex, to get an idea of the management of processes and digital data in the electric power industry. The project aroused great interest of the students and teachers. It was attended by more than 1,500 students in 20 regions of the country.
