When the excursion to the Grid Control Centre came to an end, Yury Borisov, representative of IDGC of North-West said, “I’ve heard a lot of MOESK’s Grid Control Centre until now, but it’s my first visit to this place. The most positive impressions. The modern dispatch control panel. The system of the operations and information complex ENMAK, which operates in MOESK, has now started to be applied in IDGC of North-West as well. The Grid Control Centre was created in “Novgorodenergo” on the basis of this complex. Today we have actually seen a well-equipped workplace of the dispatcher, which enables the dispatcher to perform his/her work quickly and accurately.
