The School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade and Siemens Serbia are partners on the road to digital transformation in power industry

Siemens Serbia continues its long-term partnership with the School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade by donating state-of-the-art technology that will enable students to get acquainted with complex technologies in power industry through practical and experimental work on functional models.

 

"We are looking forward to continue the long-term cooperation with Siemens as well as the donation, which will contribute to the improvement of the scientific, professional and educational role of the School of Electrical Engineering. The donated system represents an important step forward in the field of digitalization of transformer stations and staff training in this field, "said Prof. Dr. Dejan Gvozdić, Dean of the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade.

 

"For us, as a company, cooperation with the School of Electrical Engineering, one of the leading higher education institutions in the field of electrical engineering and computer science in our region and Europe, is extremely important. Our potential partners, customers and future employees pass through the School premises, so it is very important for us to contribute to the creation of innovative opportunities for further development and introduction to the most modern solutions in the power industry ", said Medeja Lončar, CEO of Siemens Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia.

 

Thanks to the donation of the most modern coupling units and communication infrastructure, with the previously realized donation of a microprocessor relay, the first fully functional field model of a digital transformer station in this part of Europe was formed in the laboratory for relay protection of the School of Electrical Engineering. In addition, Siemens will donate equipment and software for the development of Smart Grid controllers and transformer monitoring systems. Energy students will have the opportunity to work on this setting through teaching and laboratory exercises in the final years of undergraduate and graduate studies.
