Matters Of Concern

The results of reforms in the Russian electric power industry and the main problems facing the industry that hinder not only its development, but also reduce the efficiency of its operation are presented. The analysis of the current regulatory framework in the electric power industry is provided.It is shown that the ongoing process of digitalization and intellectualization of the electric power industry will fail to attain its full potential unless large-scale technological modernization of the industry is implemented, and both directions should be pursued simultaneously. The wholesale and retail electricity and capacity markets created, as a result of the electricity reform are of low efficiency and call for introducing significant changes. In order to carry out the necessary transformations, some priority measures are proposed to improve the state of affairs in the Russian electric power industry and ensure its prospective development.

The Way

AbstractDid Latin American privatisation policies fail because of flawed implementation of fundamentally sound policies or because privatisation policies were themselves seriously flawed? Using the Brazilian electric power reforms as a narrative tool, this paper examines the causal chain assumed by large-scale privatisation policies that were implemented as part of structural reform and adjustment programmes. The paper concludes that many privatisation policies and the economic stabilisation programmes within which they were embedded were not mutually reinforcing in the way that policymakers had expected, and that in their application much of what privatisation theories had claimed was lost in translation.

Considerable Work

During the past four decades, starting with the pioneering R&D work at Westinghouse in the 1970s, considerable work has been done, especially in the USA, on the dielectric properties and long-term performance of specialized polymer concrete composites for applications in the electric power industry. Polymer concrete is now well-established as a viable technical alternative to standard electrical porcelain. Its energy efficiency, its low cost, its universal processability at ambient temperature, and its design versatility have now spawned a wide variety of successful applications world-wide. Post insulators up to and including 138 kV, pin insulators, integrally cast instrument and potential transformers, various kinds and sizes of bushings, surge arresters, bus ducts, third-rail insulators in transportation, etc, are just some of the products operating successfully in the field to-day.The full potential of polymer concrete as a dielectric material has not yet been reached. With some thoughtful and functionally directed research on the properties and processing of polymer concrete, it is felt that significant advances can be made in the capabilities of dielectric polymer concrete.These advances can revolutionize the design and operation of electric power systems in the 21st century when the demands of the environment and the constraints of cost of new Ultra High Voltage power systems will be important factors governing the choice of materials. This paper gives a brief over-view of the state-of-the-art of polymer concrete dielectrics and discusses some of the needed research to meet the new challenges facing the electric power industry.

The article presents the main results of the reform of the Russian electric power industry — the reorganization of RAO UES of Russia. Over the past 10 years since the reform, it has become clear that its main goals have been achieved. The monopoly branch, controlled by the state, has turned into a market one based on competition and private property. The necessary structural changes were made in the industry; a system of markets was created; large-scale investments were launched. All this led to a sharp increase in capacity inputs in Russia’s electric power industry. As a result of the reform, the price of electricity for the population, taking into account the PPP, that is, the real standard of living in Russia, and for the majority of industrial consumers is lower than in the leading foreign countries. It has become possible to improve the reliability of the power system and preserve its technological integrity. Proposals for further improvement of the Russian electric power industry are formulated.

Guiding Principles

Subject. This article deals with the issues relating to improving integrated reporting in terms of dovetailing strategic objectives with capital changes. Objectives. The article aims to develop a system of indicators for disclosure of capital types in integrated reporting of electricity generating companies, as well as recommendations aimed at implementing the fundamental concepts and guiding principles of integrated reporting. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, and abstraction. As a case study, we conduct a comparative analysis of the disclosure of six types of capital by the largest electricity generating companies, namely PAO Inter RAO, AO Rosenergoatom and PAO RusHydro. Results. The article formulates proposals for disclosure of capital information to address such a lack of accountability as a contradiction to the principle of coherence. It proposes a system of indicators (core and additional) for disclosure of six types of capital by electricity generating companies. Conclusions. A significant reporting problem is the lack of correlation between key strategic objectives and capital changes. The formulated recommendations for disclosure of capital information can help solve this problem, and increase the attractiveness of the integrated report for capital providers.

The digital economy implies a structural transformation in many industries, including the energy sector, without taking into account the state specifics of the industry, for which full-fledged digitalization can be harmful. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology and determine the readiness of countries for digitalization in the electric power industry, taking into account all the main industry groups of factors. The paper analyzes the concept of “energy transition” and defines the indices that are applied to assess this transition at the global level. A system of indices is proposed to determine the degree of readiness for a digital transition in the electric power industry as one of the components of the “energy transition” and the most possible scenario for the transformation of this industry in Russia. The analysis of key areas of digital energy development is presented. The degree of readiness of the leading 100 countries in terms of GDP for digitalization in the electric power industry according to the proposed methodology has been calculated, and the further direction of basic research in this direction has been indicated. Conclusions have been drawn on the appropriateness of developing state programs and the main directions to which DM decision should be drawn with due desire to digitize the industry have been highlighted.
