Address of the Chairman of Russian NC
Andrey MUROV
Chairman of Russian NC
DEAR COLLEAGUES!
On behalf of the Russian National Committee of CIGRE, I would like to welcome you to the 47th CIGRE Session!
Russian, and previously Soviet, energy specialists have been taking an active part in CIGRE activities for 95 years. According to the 2017 results, Russia ranks first in Europe and 5th in the world in terms of its membership.
CIGRE tools are there not only to help stay abreast of the world's leading developments and ideas, but also make a significant contribution to the international expert relations and fulfill the unique research potential conditioned by the specific features of development and operation of the power system of the world's largest country spanning 11 time zones and all climatic zones and ranking among the best in terms of power supply reliability and energy costs.
In 2018, Russia will present an unprecedented number of papers at the Session: 25 main papers and 11 papers from the Youth Section. For the third time a collective booth of Russian companies that are members of the Association will be presented at the Technical Exhibition of CIGRE. Unique Russian designs in the field of energy efficiency and high-temperature superconductivity will be unveiled there. The display will be dedicated to the country's latest solutions in emergency automation, cyber security and digitalization of energy facilities, which are gaining a greater focus in the modern world. Russia will for the first time showcase its own invention: a combined optical current and voltage transformer applied at HV digital substations and nonferrous smelters. These technologies are available only from two or three manufacturers in the world.
As part of the business program, there are plans to sign a number of agreements on developing international cooperation and promoting advanced domestic technologies to foreign markets. The existing tradition of bilateral meetings for experience sharing between Russian and foreign grid companies will continue.
A special issue of the sectoral science and technical journal Energy Unified Grid prepared for the participants of the 47th CIGRE Session features information about groundbreaking projects and solutions in the most prioritized areas of development of the Russian energy sector presented at the Session. Executives of companies — manufacturers of equipment - are sharing their success stories about promoting technologies to foreign markets through CIGRE tools.
I am confident that proposals from Russian colleagues will be of great interest to the international community of the sectoral experts and will find their way into the power systems of other countries.
I wish all participants of the 47th Session fruitful work and productive interaction with their colleagues in the field!

Historical and Interesting Facts about Russian NC
As of 2017, the Russian national committee of CIGRE is the 1st in Europe and the 5th in the world by the membership rating. This is the result of a long way of developing partnership with the largest non-governmental international association in the industry lasting for as long as 95 years.
Cooperation of Russia (USSR) and CIGRE has always been an industry- wide mission aimed at ensuring efficient channels of interaction for the Russian and international science in the sector. CIGRE tools are there not only to help keep up with all of the world's leading developments and ideas but also to make a tangible contribution into the international expert relations — to fulfill the unique research potential conditioned by the specifics of development and use of the power system of the world's largest country operating in 11 time zones and all climatic zones simultaneously and ranking among the best in terms of power supply reliability and energy cost.
Mikhail SHATELEN
the first Russian member of CIGRE Administrative Council, 1946
Russia (the USSR) began cooperating with CIGRE in 1923, two years after the organization was established. In 1946, the Soviet representative, Mikhail SHATELEN, the country's first professor of electrical engineering, initiator of electrotechnical school in Russia, was elected a member of CIGRE Administrative Council for the first time. The first leader and mastermind of the USSR National Committee (NC) of CIGRE established in 1957 was Lev MAMIKONYANTS, and his deputy was Boris LEBEDEV, Chairman of the Soviet Committee for participation in international power industry associations (SovMEK). They laid the foundation and the basic approach for the future participation of Russia (USSR) in CIGRE.
From the 1960s on, Russia (the USSR) has been represented in all of CIGRE's Study Committees, bringing the country industry's greatest minds to the vanguard of international expert teamwork. In 1969, the USSR (Volgograd) hosted the session of Study Committee (SC) “Direct current transmissions” for the first time.
By 70's, already five sessions of CIGRE Study Committees had been held in the USSR. In 1971, the USSR (Moscow) hosted the meeting of CIGRE Administrative Council for the first time. In 1989, in the USSR (Minsk and Vilnius), the Colloquium and the session of the SC “Communication and data transmission” as well as a session of the CIGRE Technical Committee were held for the first time.
Russia, also hosted Colloquium of SC “Rotating electrical machines” (Moscow, 1995), session of CIGRE Technical Committee (Moscow, 2002), session of the Steering Committee (Irkutsk, 2005), Colloquium of SC A2 “Transformers” (Moscow, 2005), and for the first time in contemporary Russia session of CIGRE Administrative Council (Kazan, 2013).
The creation of B5 Local Committee “Relay protection and automation” in Russia on the basis of JSC SO UPS aided by JSC VNIIR and the fruitful cooperation with CIGRE SC B5 allowed to organize in Russia regular international conferences “Actual trends in development of power system relay protection and automation” in different cities (Cheboksary, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Sochi) starting from 2007 to attract as many Russian specialists for discussion of modern trends in RPA technology development with international leading experts in this area as possible. The conferences are organized by JSC SO UPS, PJSC FGC UES, PJSC RusHydro, and JSC VNIIR, supported by the Russian Ministry of Energy and Russian NC of CIGRE.
A Session of the Steering Committee (Irkutsk, 2005)
Anatoly DYAKOV, professor, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, greatly contributed to the development of relations between power industry professionals and their international colleagues in CIGRE. He dedicated over 30 years of his life to this work. Starting from 1988, he was continuously representing Russia in the Administrative Council and the Steering Committee of CIGRE. From 1989 to 2009, he headed the Soviet (from 1992, the Russian) national committee of CIGRE. In 2009, Anatoly DYAKOV was elected Honorary Chairman of the Russian NC of CIGRE and Chairman of the Technical Committee.
In his research work, Anatoly DYAKOV was focusing on the issues of development and implementation of a system to improve the reliability of the Unified Energy System of Russia. In recognition of his outstanding merits before the global power society, he was bestowed with the "CIGRE Distinguished Member" status in 2000, and awarded with the title of the "CIGRE Honorary Member" in 2014. He was the only person in Russia (USSR) to receive this title over 95 years.
The Soviet national Committee's functions of streamlined policymaking and representation of the USSR's interests in CIGRE were guided by the relevant ministry. In 1992, those functions were ceded to JSC RAO UES of Russia. In 2008 (as the RAO ceased to the Russian NC function), the activities of the Russian NC were built on the basis of JSC System Operator of the United Power System, and since 2015, after Andrey MUROV was elected Chairman of Russian NC of CIGRE, the Committee is supported by PJSC FGC UES. The head of Local Technical Committee is Yuriy SHAROV, professor, member of the Board of PJSC Inter RAO, General Director of LLC Inter RAO Engineering.
Throughout these 95 years, Russian (Soviet) specialists were taking active part in CIGRE life. They not only worked proactively at the National Committee's level, in national and international working groups, but also captained the trends of research, i.e. defined the global R&D agenda. For instance, between 1958 and 1968 the SC “Rotating Electrical Machines” was headed by Igor GLEBOV, and from 1976 to 1982 the SC “Overhead Transmission Lines” was led by Vladimir BURGSDORF. In 1970, Lev MAMIKONYANTS, professor, was elected for the Technical Committee of CIGRE.
The first woman to head a Study Committee over the whole history of cooperation of Russia (USSR) with CIGRE is Olga SINENKO, who became the head of SC D2 "Information Systems and Telecommunication" in 2018.
