Innovative activitiesThe information in this section is based on the results of the activities of JSC Rosseti Kuban for January — November 2025 and the Kubanenergo branch of PJSC Rosseti South for December 2025.
The Company has the innovation development programme of PJSC Rosseti South for the period of
Key areas of innovative development of PJSC Rosseti South:
- Transition to highly automated digital substations operating at different voltages
- Transition to smart grids with a distributed intellectual automation and control system
- Transition to integrated efficiency of business processes and automation of control systems
- Application of advanced technology solutions and materials in power engineering
The main innovative projects implemented in 2025
- Transition to highly automated digital substations operating at different voltages. Work was underway to create an automated predictive monitoring system, which provides for the installation of sensors for monitoring the condition of power transformers mounted on the АС 1,110 kV substation and the Chaltyr-2 110 kV substation of the Rostovenergo branch of PJSC Rosseti South.
- Transition to smart grids with a distributed intellectual automation and control system. The Rostovenergo, Volgogradenergo, Astrakhanenergo and Kalmenergo branches of PJSC Rosseti South were engaged in the creation of highly automated electric distribution networks and the try-out of technical solutions for integrating data transmission from smart electricity metering devices into information systems, i.e., the development of its smart metering. The technology provides for automatic or automated monitoring and control of electricity flows to achieve maximum efficiency, as well as continuous monitoring of the quality of power supply and commercial services.
- Transition to integrated efficiency of business processes and automation of control systems. Work was carried out in the following focus areas:
- development of a customer relationship management (CRM) system
- development of an information security system for critical information infrastructure facilities
- development of the Company’s production asset management system (PAMS)
- development of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)
- creation and implementation of a unified information system of PJSC Rosseti Group for electricity transmission and distribution on a domestic platform (Rosseti Balance Unified Information System).
- Application of advanced technology solutions and materials in power engineering. Work was underway to introduce an innovative system for determining damage locations on 110 kV overhead transmission lines with FOCL paralleling.

Research and development
The implementation of the R&D Programme is one of the key innovative development areas for the power grid complex. This Programme covers measures to ensure reliable and high-quality power supply of electricity consumers, reduction of material expenses for repair and maintenance of overhead transmission lines, and transition to digital signal transmission at all levels of control over substations.
Key R&D projects implemented in 2025
- Grid connection of consumers in isolated territories using autonomous hybrid power plants (AHPP).
- Research into the influence of wind power plants on electricity quality indicators and the functioning of protection relays in 110 kV distribution power grids. Formulation of recommendations and suggestions.
- Research into the prospects for using high-temperature wires, taking into account the shift of peak loads to periods of extremely high temperatures and the influence of temperature on the transmission capacity of overhead transmission lines.
- Creation of interactive instructions on the equipment used.
- Development of a suite of preventive multiparametric protections for
6–10 kV switchgears under conditions of incipient faults. - Development of a three-phase group based on non-grounded voltage transformers for use in electric power metering circuits according to the delta / neutral-less delta scheme.
- A mobile-based robot-assisted system for operational switching and diagnostic measures.
