The economic growth of any country is impossible without the advanced development of the electric power industry. In recent decades, renewable energy sources have been developing dynamically, digital technologies are being introduced in the energy sector, and distributed generation is developing. At the same time, the basic processes are unchanged: it is the generation of electricity at power plants, its transmission through power lines and transformation at substations for supplying power consumers.
This program is aimed at studying both classical and modern problems of design, operation and analysis of the electrical part of power plants and power systems. The training of specialists in the "Power Stations" program has been carried out at INRTU since 1962, during which time the Department of Electrical Stations, Networks and Systems has accumulated a great deal of experience in training qualified specialists for the electric power industry.
