"Presently, dozens of countries and regions worldwide use 20 kV as the average voltage of distribution networks. This practice is also used in the central districts of Paris. Within the framework of the project, I estimated power losses in the cable lines of one supply center at 10 kV and 20 kV levels and concluded that the transition to 20 kV in St. Petersburg is appropriate, with an increase in voltage rating losses in the studied section of the circuit decreased by 11%,” explained Mikhail.
Altogether, 73 graduates of St. Petersburg universities became laureates of the competition for St. Petersburg Government awards in 2019/2020 academic year.
