Electrical power stations, networks and systems

The Bachelor’s-level educational program “Electric Power Plants, Networks and Systems” is aimed at providing a comprehensive energy engineering education and preparing specialists for the modern energy sector who can contribute to the reliable operation of critical energy infrastructure.

The program provides in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the design, construction, and operation of equipment and systems for the generation, distribution, transmission, conversion, storage, and consumption of electrical energy.

The curriculum reflects the latest trends in the development of the energy sector and modern energy supply technologies. Particular attention is paid to the management and protection of complex energy systems and facilities, including renewable energy systems and distributed generation.

Training specialists under this program has been provided by the department since 1958, combining long-standing educational traditions with current technological developments in the energy industry.

The Bachelor’s-level educational program “Electric Power Plants, Networks and Systems” provides students with a solid understanding of the fundamental principles governing complex electric power systems and facilities.

During their studies, students acquire knowledge and practical skills in:

• Fundamentals of electrical engineering;

• Electrical measurement systems and metrology in the energy sector;

• The structure and operating principles of all major types of electrical machines and apparatus;

• The electrical systems of power plants and substations;

• The operation of complex electrical networks and power systems;

• Fundamental principles of power system automation;

• The design and operation of relay protection and emergency control systems;

• Installation, operation, service life extension, and disposal of electrical equipment;

• Economic aspects of critical energy infrastructure;

• Occupational health and safety, industrial safety, and environmental protection;

• Practical application of acquired knowledge and skills through various types of internships and practical training.

Graduates of the program are prepared to adapt quickly to professional work in the energy sector, thanks to the program’s combination of fundamental theoretical knowledge and practical training.

The program also provides graduates with a wide range of career opportunities — from employment in major energy companies to starting their own businesses providing engineering and technical services in electrical engineering.
