Department of Electric Power Plants, Networks and Systems

Our Department has been preparing specialists since 1963. Currently it provides training for bachelor's, master's degree and postgraduates. Highly qualified teaching staff, experienced specialists are engaged for preparing students for design, commissioning, operation, research work and management of electric power stations, electric networks with a voltage of 110 kV and higher. The unique laboratory, practical training at energy enterprises allow students to gain practical skills in the field of electric power engineering. The curriculum provides internships at the electric power facilities of the region: hydraulic and thermal power plants, substations of electric grid enterprises, design organizations. Among our graduates there are doctors and candidates of sciences, professors and associate professors, directors of large energy and industrial enterprises. Our graduates built and commissioned the Bratsk and Ust-Ilimskaya hydroelectric power plants, erected a hydroelectric dam on the Aswan Canal in Egypt, participated in the development of the energy policy of Russia, the energy program of Siberia, the Far East and the Irkutsk region.
