After the summer break, training of foremen and performers of work on servicing overhead lines and transformer substations up to 10 kV has resumed. For the first time, specialists from the newly created emergency recovery service of MOESK distribution networks also attended the courses. The classes were organized by the Personnel Development and Distribution Networks Departments for the Moscow Region on the basis of Eastern Electric Networks in Kolomna. Among the students are the staff of the Western, Northern and Eastern Electric Networks.

It should be noted that the experience of the past three years has convincingly proven the need for this form of personnel training: it is in demand, brings results, and has prospects for development and improvement.

The course topics include issues that power engineers encounter in their daily work, and on which the reliability of distribution networks ultimately depends. Thus, the main attention was paid to the specifics of installation of bare wires, the frequency of their inspection and repair. The listeners also met modern trends in relay protection and automation, increased knowledge about the design and operating principles of power transformers, oil switches and drives for them. A considerable part of the course was devoted to working with technical documentation, the work permit system, modern instruments and methods for diagnosing electrical equipment. Theoretical knowledge was supported by practical exercises at the Kolomna Distribution Zone test site and the Ramenskoe Distribution Zone open site.

Among the teachers are experienced workers of Eastern Electric Networks with extensive teaching experience: Sergey Vedmedenko, Igor Sharyshov, Vladimir Parkhomenko.

According to the regulations, the two-week training course ends with exams and receipt of certificates of completion of the course. According to the established tradition, the certificate was presented by the head of the department of the Personnel Development Department of OJSC “MOESK” Sergey Novikov, who, together with the leading expert Alexey Pakhar, after the official part, held a round table meeting. This form of dialogue, according to Sergei Georgievich, makes it possible to identify problems in training and education of personnel, to determine ways and methods of improving the program. And according to the unanimous opinion of the listeners, the round table helps the meeting participants not only voice interesting and pressing questions, but also receive competent answers to them.

During the meeting, course participants discussed the problems of clearing clearings, and raised issues of introducing a new system of remuneration and mentoring. We were interested in energy workers and the specifics of the work of teams in the emergency repair service, and they also paid attention to the problems of working with contractors. The possibility of creating special courses for operational personnel and a “school of young masters” was considered as a prospect.

Educational issues are one of the main areas of the Society’s activities,” noted Sergei Novikov, concluding the meeting. “Therefore, the questions raised during the meeting will be carefully studied and analyzed. A program is a living organism that is sensitive to the demands of time, so it can be adjusted if necessary. Because the main goal of the entire personnel training system in the Company is to achieve high professional level personnel as the key to a reliable, uninterrupted and high-quality supply of electrical energy to consumers.

This is the first graduating class consisting of five young specialists who have completed targeted training under the applied bachelor's degree program. Unique educational program jointly developed by specialists from MOESK and National Research University "MPEI". Based on the results of the training, three graduates received an offer of employment at MOESK, a branch of Moscow Cable Networks (MCS), and they will begin work in September. Two more will come to work upon completion of their master's degree. Graduates consider working at the ISS a great honor - the company was at the forefront of the electrification of the capital. Despite all the difficulties caused by the revolution and Civil War, two world wars, the Moscow energy sector continued its sustainable development, and to a large extent - thanks to the ISS power engineers.

Director of the Institute of Electrical Power Engineering of MPEI, curator of the program Vladimir Tulsky considers the graduation of certified specialists a landmark event for both the university and the company: “The program started in 2014. As part of this project, it was developed syllabus with the participation of MOESK experts who became pioneers among energy companies. An applied bachelor's degree not only lays a strong theoretical foundation, but also provides an opportunity to practically apply knowledge during training. I am sure that the guys received a sought-after education, determined their life priorities, and have an interesting job ahead of them in the best network company in the country.”

From the moment of admission to the ceremonial presentation of diplomas, the MOESK Training Center, together with colleagues from the ISS, accompanied and supervised the children. Energy workers have no doubt: applied bachelor's degree allows graduates to more effectively integrate into the industry immediately after graduation. Yesterday's students remember with gratitude their years of studying at the National Research University "MPEI".

Oleg Chaus, Deputy General Director for Operations with personnel and administrative issues of PJSC "MOESK":
“The guys were educated at the best energy university in the country and will come to work for the oldest grid company, which celebrated its 120th anniversary last year. I wish them interesting tasks and new discoveries.”

Konstantin Zelinsky chose the energy institute on the advice of his grandfather, who worked for many years in a network company. The graduate is confident that the main value of the program is the applied nature of the training: “During our internship at MOESK, we visited many teams - the relay protection and automation service and the centralized repair service, as well as the operational mobile team.”

Another graduate of the program, Ksenia Deeva, is sure that energy is an industry where new knowledge must be constantly acquired: “The course gave us basic education and developed an interest in the profession. We will continue our development, without this it is impossible to become a great specialist and a true professional.”

At the end of the ceremony, the chief engineer of Moscow Cable Networks, Victoria Vostrosablina, congratulated the graduates and parents: “We are not saying goodbye to the graduates. I am sure that they will continue to study, because in the energy sector you need to acquire new knowledge throughout your life.”

MOESK pays great attention to targeted training of students in secondary specialized and higher educational institutions in Moscow and the Moscow region within the framework of dual training to form an external personnel reserve for in-demand workers and engineering specialties. Currently there are 6 cooperation agreements in force with colleges and the same number with universities. Thus, within the framework of the cooperation agreement between PJSC “MOESK” and the National Research University “MPEI”, a program of career guidance activities, introductory, production and pre-graduate practitioner students. In 2017, 400 students completed internships in branches and structural divisions of the company, and almost the same number from the beginning to July of this year.

Vsevolod Ivanov, First Deputy General Director – Chief Engineer of PJSC “MOESK”:
“The graduates received a good theoretical basis and knowledge. It is very important that they have practical experience. Over the years, he will come, they will become real specialists and will move the Moscow energy industry forward.”

In 2016, the grand opening of a specialized distribution network site on the basis of the College took place in Moscow modern technologies named after Hero of the Soviet Union M.F. Panov. A year earlier, as part of a cooperation agreement, a target group of students majoring in secondary education was recruited to the college. vocational education"Power stations, networks and systems." Training program it suggests how theoretical training, as well as practical exercises using special electrical network equipment. It was for practical training that in 2016 the company created a new training ground and equipped specialized classes for distribution networks, relay protection and automation. Thus, in addition to theoretical knowledge, students practice practical skills on real equipment that is used in technological processes MOESK. Students can consolidate their acquired skills in conditions that are as close to real as possible. The creation of a training ground is the first step towards the introduction of new technologies for practice-oriented training.

For high school students who have decided on a profession, the training center holds a Day open doors PJSC "MOESK" at the National Research University "Moscow Energy Institute".

In 2015, within the framework of the Cooperation Agreement, PJSC "MOESK" initiated the enrollment of a target group of students in the college in the specialty of secondary vocational education "Power stations, networks and systems." In 2016, based on the results of training in the first half of the year, four target agreements were concluded student agreements with the students of the group.

The curriculum in the specialty “Electrical stations, networks and systems” involves both theoretical training in college classes and practical exercises using special electrical network equipment. It is for practical training that PJSC “MOESK” has created a new training ground and is equipping specialized classes for distribution networks, relay protection and automation (RPA).

In his speech at the opening of the test site, the director of the training center of PJSC “MOESK” Oleg Trofimov noted: “The employees of the branches of our company - Western Electric Networks and Moscow High-Voltage Grids - have invested a lot of effort and energy to create this wonderful test site. And now, in addition to theoretical knowledge, students will be able to practice practical skills on real equipment that is used in MOESK’s technological processes.”

“A project like this is the key to the success of companies that have correctly understood modern trends and are properly preparing personnel for themselves. We at the Department of Fuel and Energy Economy will continue to continue such cooperation, and I think that this experience will be spread among other colleges and other large enterprises of the capital,” noted Ivan Novitsky, Deputy Head of the Department of Fuel and Energy Economy of Moscow, in his speech. .

The testing ground is located on the college grounds. It is planned that future power engineers on 0.4-10 kV overhead lines will not only be able to visually become familiar with the operation of electrical grid equipment, but will also gain practical skills in its operation and repair. Students will be able to consolidate their acquired skills while being in conditions as close as possible to real ones.

The creation of a training ground is the first step towards the introduction of new technologies for practice-oriented training. A specialized training ground is a tool that must be skillfully used in the educational process. Therefore, the teaching staff of the college faces the important task of developing a methodology for using the training ground when conducting practical classes, which will allow it to be used most effectively. For its part, the MOESK training center is ready to organize internships for teachers and college masters on similar equipment.

Interaction of PJSC "MOESK" with middle and higher education educational institutions is planned in nature, aimed at creating a system continuing education at PJSC "MOESK", quality training qualified personnel for the company.
