13.03.02 Electric power engineering

The major "Electric Power Engineering" is the primary one for training specialists for the electric energy sector. Students receive initial training studying the processes that occur in all aspects of the electric power system, from energy generation to energy consumption facilities. Considerable attention is given to the study of new production techniques and technologies, electricity transmission and distribution, issues relating to providing consumers with high-quality electric energy, improving energy efficiency and supply reliability using modern technical means, information technologies, and control and forecasting methods.

During their studies, students will learn how to work with special programs such as RastrWin, EUROSTAG, automated calculation of relay protection and automation settings, the automated workplace of a relay protection and automation specialist, Model Studio CS, EnergyCS, and many others. Students participate in industrial, national, and international research and technical conferences and publish their work in the leading research and practical journals and conference proceedings.

Students’ internships take place in energy enterprises dealing with energy generation, power supply, equipment installation and commissioning, operational dispatch, sales, and design. The research for the thesis is commissioned by the leading energy firms to solve their practical issues.

Graduates majoring in electric power engineering are in demand in generating, power-supply, energy repair, energy sales, and design and engineering enterprises, as well as in large organizations with energy infrastructure that have specialized units responsible for its efficient operation.
