On May 15,
the RUSSIA EXPO will open an updated exposition of the Energy of Life pavilion.
There will also be a presentarion of "The World of Electricity"
exposition, which will tell visitors what the energy industry of the future
will be like and how the evolution of technology is changing people's lives.
Visitors
will be able to get acquainted with the ways of electric energy delivery to
homes, study the key technologies of electric energy distribution, visit the
portal of the future, learn about the prospects of space energy, play on one of
the world's first synthesizers invented by Russian inventor Lev Termen, and
learn what electricity and Pablo Picasso have in common.
The
exposition includes five thematic zones. At the beginning, visitors will get
acquainted with the structure of electricity and dive into the history of the
science of electricity.
The
Technology exposition will allow guests to see the development path of
electrical distribution technologies, showing how end-to-end technologies have
had a revolutionary impact on electrical engineering.
Portal of
the Future is an exposition zone where visitors can plunge into the world of
advanced electric power technologies through an interactive journey, learn
about promising developments from microgrids to space power, and listen to a
message from a young astronaut scientist about key aspects of future
technologies.
In the
Inspired by Electricity zone, guests explore the impact of electricity on art

surprise them with plasma flashes and fluorescent lights.
"It is
important for a future engineer to not just possess specialized knowledge of
the profession, but to be able to see the complexity of modern technologies
related to electrical energy, to learn to see in the ‘wonders’ of natural
phenomena the future wonders of engineering and to master the skill of everyday
technological literacy. Power engineer is always the profession of the future,"
noted Oleg Grinko, co-head of the Energinet working group of the National
Technological Initiative.
The
exposition opening will take place on May 15 at 13:00 in Pavilion No. 46 "Energy

the immersive "Tesla Show".
The
exposition is organized by the Energinet National Technology Initiative Market
working group, Tavrida Electric Company, the Energinet Center, the Russian
Ministry of Energy and the Russian Energy Agency.
The
exposition will be available to the public until July 8. More details can be
