“Blockchain technologies make it possible to automate the exchange of data on the use of generating capacity within a local or regional power system, which is especially important with the growing popularity of wind and solar energy. This is why such technologies will be widely used,” said Rae Kwon Chung, Nobel laureate, honorary doctor of MPEI, chairman of the Global Energy Prize International Committee.
The event was part of the visit of the Global Energy Prize International Award Committee members to the Volga Branch of Moscow Power Engineering Institute. During this visit, the guests saw the solar power plant of the institute and a series of modern research laboratories specializing in chemical, digital and information technologies, as well as in automated control systems for thermal and hydro power plants. At the end of the visit, as a token of partnership with the Volga Branch of Moscow Power Engineering Institute, planted fur-trees in the territory of the institute park.
