On October 30, the Polytechnic University opened the 16th RusHydro scientific and technical conference “Hydropower. Hydraulic engineering. New developments and technologies.” Over 600 experts from 200 Russian and foreign organizations will discuss the most important problems of the industry over three days. The event was organized by PJSC RusHydro, JSC VNIIG im. B. E. Vedeneyev, and SPbPU.
The conference “Hydropower. Hydraulic engineering. New developments and technologies” is the largest industry event in our country for specialists in the field of hydropower and hydraulic engineering.
The event is attended by specialists from RusHydro hydroelectric power plants and other hydroelectric power plants in the country, representatives of hydraulic engineering construction industries, as well as employees of Russian universities, research institutes in the construction field, marine and port facilities, and transport infrastructure. Experts from other countries also speak at the conference.
At the opening of the conference, the greeting from the Chairman of the Board – General Director of PJSC RusHydro Viktor Khmarin was read by his First Deputy – Chief Engineer of RusHydro Sergey Kondratyev.
Hydrotechnics and hydropower engineering respond to the challenges of the time and develop in accordance with the course taken on technological registers. In the conditions of growing demand for electric energy, we are faced with even more ambitious tasks today. The construction of modern power plants requires new solutions. This gives scientists and engineers an incentive for development and creates a wide field for research activities, the application of innovations. I am confident that a constructive exchange of opinions will allow us to develop practical recommendations and proposals that will contribute to the successful development of the country and the industry as a whole, said Sergey Kondratyev.
The first projector of SPbPU, Vitaly Sergeev, gave a welcoming speech.
This conference always arouses great interest. And it has already become a good tradition that such a large-scale event is regularly held at our university. The Polytechnic University has always been famous for its great scientists in the field of hydropower and hydraulic engineering. The Civil Engineering Institute is now the legal successor of the hydrotechnical faculty and maintains its reputation, interacting with RusHydro and other organizations. I hope that the energy that is at the Polytechnic, the aura of new knowledge, innovative developments and youthful spirit will contribute to your work, – noted Vitaly Sergeev.
The conference started with a plenary session, where experts discussed issues of design, construction and operation of hydroelectric power plants and hydraulic structures for various purposes. Top managers of PJSC RusHydro made reports. The winners of the competition for the best research work in the field of hydropower were also awarded at the session.
The work continued with scientific sections and round tables, where scientists and engineers discuss the most pressing issues of industry development, exchange experiences and build professional contacts. The conference’s thematic areas include: equipment for hydroelectric power plants and hydraulic structures, scientific and practical issues of hydraulics and hydrology, concrete and reinforced concrete structures of hydraulic structures, environmental issues in energy and hydraulic engineering, new materials and technologies in construction, ensuring the safety of hydraulic structures, small hydropower, hydraulic engineering construction in the Arctic, personnel training, etc.
Representatives of SPbPU actively participate in the conference. The co-chairman of the section “Scientific and Practical Issues of Hydraulics and Hydrology” was Professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Power Engineering Alexander Bolshev. Director of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Power Engineering Galina Kozinets, Associate Professors Vita Belousov and Irina Frolova presented the report “Analysis of the Environmental Monitoring System of the GTS Safety”. Also Galina Kozinets, Leading Engineer of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Power Engineering Viktor Chechevichkin, Engineers Leonid Yakunin and Alexey Chechevichkin spoke about the possibilities of using nature-like technology for cleaning surface wastewater at hydropower facilities. Professors of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Power Engineering Viktor Elistratov, Vladimir Maslikov and Mikhail Shilin presented the results of a study related to the impact of the Kolyma Hydroelectric Power Plant on the ichthyofauna of the reservoir. Associate Professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Power Engineering Armen Girgidov presented the report “Improvement of End Devices of Bottom Spillways”. Associate professors of the Higher School of Hydroelectric Power Engineering Andrey Chusov and Svetlana presented a forecast of the water quality of the Svetlinskaya hydroelectric power station reservoir based on forest clearing options.
An important part of the conference will be the youth day, which will take place on November 1. Participants will share their work experience, discuss current tasks and future challenges.
Following the three-day work, collections will be published, including plenary reports, section reports, and the final decision of the conference.
