REPORT WIDE INTRODUCTION OF AUTOMATIC
AND REMOTE CONTROLS FOR ELECTRIC POWER
One of the postwar achievements of Soviet engineering is the wide intro-
duction of automatic and remote control systems for electric power stations and
power transmission networks under the Ministry of Electri: Power Stations.
These systems assure the uninterrupted supply of paver to consumers and contrib-
ute to reducing the cost of electric power. Domestic industries have produced
automatic and remote control mechanisms developed by Soviet specialists. The
mechanisms as well as the control diagrams are simpler and more dependable than
those produced outside Russia.
The hydroelectric power stations which are at present automatics
lly
trolled represent over 70 percent of the total capacity and include all ESco -
nin
the Moscow and Uzbek electric power systems. It is planned to complete con-
verting all GES to automatic control in 1951.
The majority of the boiler installation are equipped with automatic stokers`
and fire controls and an overwhelming majority of them with automatic water
feeders. Many deaerators are equipped with automatic preosure regulators; au-
tomatic feeders .re being installed at the coal grinders; automatic temperature
regulators of superheated steam and regulators of heat supplied by heating
plants are just being introduced. Simultaneously, remote control mechanisms
are continuously being introduced at GES, substations and control rooms of paver
systems. Several GES and the first substations in the Donets and Gor'kiy power
systems are already operated by remote control. In the Uzbek Power "vatem, the
installation of remote control equipment has already been completed.
Much has also been done to install electrical equipment for automatically
controlling the operations of the high-voltage power transmission lines and
generators at the power stations.
The extensive plan for the. first half of 1951 was, however, not fulfilled
for a number of reasons. Industrial enterprises failed to deliver the necessary
equipment and cables on time. 'Bi.rectors and chief engineers were indifferent
and careless in the introduction of new technical devices.

Although the majority of the electric power stations fully utilise the au-
tomatic control devices installed, there are some which are lagging because
their personnel either do not know
