NPO Streamer JSC Announces
the VII Russian Conference
on Lightning Protection
On April 21-23, 2020, St. Petersburg will host the VII Russian Conference on Lightning Pro-
tection organized by NPO Streamer JSC. It will be held at Astoria Hotel. Preparations for this
event have already started – the Company used the experience of previous conferences to
make the event even more interesting and informative the next year.
T
raditionally, the Conference
is attended by major na-
tional and world research-
ers, representatives of key
electric grid companies of Russia,
oil and gas industry experts, stu-
dents and graduate students. The
event attracts foreign luminaries of
scientifi c thinking in the fi eld of light-
ning physics and lightning protection
from a dozen diff erent countries.
“Being the Russian leader in
manufacturing lightning-protection
devices with a strong position in
the international market as well,
we should support such events.
This means not only participating in
professional activities, but also or-
ganizing them ourselves. Russian
specialists are brimful of new ideas,
we have many highly-qualifi ed ex-
perts. All Key Opinion Leaders in the
world directly associate the lightning
protection with Streamer. Scientists
wish to cooperate with us or at least
to consult us. Distributors believe
that our products are reliable and
high-margin”, – says
Ivan Zhitenev
,
the Director General of JSC NPO
Streamer.
Each year, the Organizing Com-
mittee is assisted by the Russian
Academy of Sciences (RAS), Ros-
seti PJSC and Peter the Great St.
Petersburg Technical University.
"The Conference platform has
become an expert island on light-
ning protection that brings together
Rosseti Operational Department, re-
search and expert community, and
manufacturers. We all work out uni-
fi ed solutions to protect power lines
and major substation equipment
from atmospheric overvoltages as-
sociated with thunderstorms and
lightning," Rosseti Director of Tech-
nological Development and Innova-
tions
Vladimir Sofyin
, says.
RAS Academician, Professor
Valentin Smirnov
commended the
concern of the Conference organiz-
er for the emergence of new trends,
discussion of the phenomena na-
ture. He emphasized the benefi t of
this approach for practitioners and
the scientifi c community.
Such interest of the company en-
gaged in engineering and production
of lightning protection equipment in
emergence of new trends, discuss-
ing the nature of phenomena, is dif-
fi cult to overestimate. I would wish
to thank NPO Streamer JSC for
their eff orts in organizing this event.
Practices received at the Confer-
ence may be used to develop new
types of equipment”, the Academi-
cian said.
The fi rst Conference on Lightning
Protection was held in 2010. Over
the years, it has established itself
as an eff ective and credible platform
to share views and discuss critical
issues of lightning protection. The
number of Conference participants
is rising every year, their geography
and number of reports is expanding.
NPO Streamer JSC Academic
Adviser, Doctor of Technical Sci-
ences, Professor
Georgy Podpor-
kin
emphasizes the special role of
33
inviting foreign experts to the Con-
ference.
"This is a very big benefi t for
those professionals who don't trav-
el a lot. Through reports of foreign
experts they come to knowledge of
what is happening in the sphere of
lightning protection in the world. Be-
sides, it is a top expertise of interna-
tional partnership", he said.
“Our transparency pays off bit
by bit. This may be clearly seen in
view of 10 years of the Conference
holding. The long-time participants
as well as the newcomers of the in-
dustry may benefi t greatly from our
event - from broadening of outlook
and the contact list to an opportunity
to “sell” themselves and their ideas.
Professionals have not enough con-
ditions for this. In our turn, we aff ord
them such opportunity and provide
a very comfortable platform for this,
one of the world’s best platforms.
We appeal to all participants of the
Lightning-Protection
Conference
to give a feedback and to draw our
attention to the things that we can
improve in the Conference holding
without a doubt. During the event,
please, take part in disputes more
actively, recommend the event to
your colleagues and tell about it”,
adds
Ivan Zhitenev
.
For a number of years presen-
tations made at the Conference
demonstrate successful synergy of
research and business. Speakers
usе the Conference to share their
fi ndings in the nature of lightning
phenomena and discuss eff ec-
tive innovative lightning protection
methods.
Doctor of Technical Sciences,
Professor
Eduard Bazelyan
from
Power Engineering Institute empha-
sizes that lightning protection had
traditionally been well developed in
Russia.
"Domestic publications and
books on lightning protection have
been translated to other languages.
We have gained such experience
in this fi eld due to the fact that we
started to explore lightning in the
1930s. For me, the main goal of the
Conference on Lightning Protec-
tion is to share our experience with
younger generation, to successfully
implement all our unfi nished ideas”,
he says.
The growing interest from pro-
fessional society, the variety and
high quality of presentations, inter-
est of researchers and experts – all
this shows that the VII Russian Con-
ference on lightning protection will
take place!
