Applications Open for Scientific Works Competition for Young Scientists in Siberia

Young scientists from Krasnoyarsk are invited to an open competition of scientific works for the power grid complex. It has been held annually since 2010. Postgraduates, teachers, and students of relevant specialties can participate. The authors of the best works are awarded prizes.

The open competition of scientific works consists of three stages. First, the best are selected at the regional stage, then at the interregional stage. The third stage is the direct implementation of the scientific development into real production.

The competition is organized by «Rosseti Sibir» (Rosseti Siberia), and employees of the company can also apply to participate.

The first selection stage has started at the branch level in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Zabaykalsky Krai, Altai Krai, the Republic of Altai, Khakassia, Buryatia, Tuva, as well as in Kemerovo and Omsk Oblasts. The topics for scientific research, application form, and contacts of curators are published on the portal rosseti-sib.ru.

The submission of competitive works will last until April 15. Defenses of works will take place until May 31, and winners will be determined by July 30. Then, by October 1, the best scientific works will be sent to the interregional stage of the competition. The award ceremony for winners will be held at the end of the year, around Power Engineer«s Day.

This year, three nominations have been determined. These are «Innovative Equipment and Technologies for the Siberian Distribution Power Grid Complex», «Information Systems in the Siberian Distribution Power Grid Complex», and «Innovations in Economics and Management of the Siberian Distribution Power Grid Complex».

The evaluation criteria are scientific and technical novelty, originality of the idea, payback period, effect from project implementation, practical value, material design, and presentation.

In 2025, the best scientific works were by employees of the Engineering School of Energy at Tomsk Polytechnic University, Kuzbass State Technical University, and workers of the branch «Rosseti Sibir» — «Omskenergo». Tomsk researchers created a mathematical model of a hybrid energy system with electrical receivers. Kemerovo scientists developed an approach to the development of low-voltage distribution power grids in the context of the spread of electric vehicle charging stations.

And energy specialists from Omsk proposed using an automatic balancing device on an overhead power line with a voltage of 0.4 kilovolts, employing speech recognition technologies to record audio and video conferences, and automating the processes of handling user requests of corporate information management systems. These proposals will be developed and implemented.
