IPolytech seminar: Professor at the University of Manchester Vladimir Terzija made a presentation on power system reliability

On February 9, participants of the iPolytech seminar scientific project discussed the reliability of power systems at INRTU. The leading speaker was Professor Vladimir Terzija of EPSRS at the University of Manchester (UK).

iPolytech Journal contains the results of research on metallurgy, power engineering, and mechanical engineering. Scientific seminars with the participation of leading scientists and industry experts were launched last May. Reports are published in the iPolytech Journal.

The participants of the seminar were welcomed by Aleksandr Kononov, Vice-Rector for Research at INRTU. The meeting was hosted by Professor Denis Sidorov, Senior Researcher at Industrial Mathematics Lab and Editor-in-Chief of iPolytech Journal:

"Vladimir Terzija is a leading expert in the field of electric power, dealing with the integration of renewable energy sources. We participate together at UNIFY - a collaborative project of Skoltech and the Ministry of Science and Technology of India, financed by the Russian Science Foundation. Taking into consideration Vladimir Terzija's contribution to energy development, we invited him to share his experience with his colleagues from Irkutsk".

Vladimir Terzija received PhD in electrical engineering at Belgrade University (Serbia). He has many years of academic experience at Shandong University (China), wh ere he is recognized as a professor emeritus. Vladimir Terzija is also a professor at the Skoltech Energy Technology Center in Moscow.

His research interests include the development of smart grid applications, digital signal processing in power systems and methods for their protection. In addition, Vladimir Terzija is editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems.

According to the lecturer, the concept of Smart Cities is becoming more and more actual. It involves the integration of information technologies, communications, and the Internet of Things. The work with power systems can be divided into three stages: monitoring, management of dynamic systems and control (primary, secondary and remote). Vladimir Terzija told that the issue of cyber security of power facilities becomes significant. Proceeding with the topic of information technology in the electric power industry, the scientist talked about Big Data and Digital Twin.

Vladimir Terzija was confident that cooperation with energy scientists from Irkutsk would develop:

"The scientific project iPolytech seminar, organized by INRTU, interested me by the opportunity to get acquainted with a large number of specialists. Personal meetings help to establish business contacts, to determine the directions of joint work. I am sure that undergraduate and postgraduate students of the university will be able to take part in large-scale research".
