The International Conference and Exhibition “Power System Relay Protection and Automation — 2021” was held in pavilion 55 of the All-Russian Exhibition Center, Moscow, from September 29 to October 1, 2021.
Specialists from research centers, design institutes, engineering companies, operators, and adjustment organizations met in familiar setting. Relay protection equipment manufacturers presented their advanced developments. At its booth, EKRA presented:
- New range of meging units
- HF Emergency and Control Signal Transmission Devices, Optical Fiber Emergency and Control Signal Transmission Devices
- Digital substation information security cabinet using a Kaspersky Lab solution
- Control & Automation System and Automated Measuring and Information System for Electric Power Fiscal Accounting
- Process control panel for monitoring the current and voltage RMS values and process parameters of a switchgear bay
- Diagnostic equipment from OMICRON, Austria.
The company's booth was visited by Evgeny Grabchak, Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation, and Andrey Mayorov, First Deputy General Director — Chief Engineer of Rosseti.
The business program included sessions and seminars. On behalf of EKRA, the following presentations were made:
