Chair history
The first release of electrical engineers in “Power supply of the industrial enterprises, the cities and agriculture” in number of 15 people is carried out in 1966 within chair “Power plants, networks and systems”. On October 14, 1968 the “Power Supply of the Industrial Enterprises and Cities”, chair which first manager there was Cand.Tech.Sci., PhD Kurenny E.G was created. Cand.Tech.Sci., associate professors stood at the origins of basis of chair Zhelikhovsky N.M., Stepanchuk D.N., senior teachers Pogodin M.K., Sorokin F.A., assistants Dmitriyeva E.N. Mucha W.P., Nikiforov P.R., Sanayev A.M., Yarmolenko V.I., lab. manager. Pozhidayev A.A. During the different periods of time chair directed Dr.Sci.Tech., prof. Kurenny E.G. (1968–1975 and 1981–1985), Dr.Sci.Tech., prof. Razgildeev G. I. (1979–1981), Cand.Tech.Sci., PhD. Sovpel V. B. (1975–1979 and 1986–1995). Since April, 1995 chair Cand.Tech.Sci., the prof. of chair Mucha W.P. manages. Gradually the structure of teachers replenished with a number of highly qualified specialists. Fruitfully work from 70th years Cand.Tech.Sci., PhD. Oleynik V. G. and Kolomyttsev A.D., since the 80th years - Cand.Tech.Sci., PhD. Chursinov V.I., Dzhura S.G., Vasin A.A., Dr.Sci.Tech., prof. Kovalyov A.P., assistant Halyavinskaya N. M., Brezhneva V. V. In the 90th years the young specialists who have defended master's dissertations came to chair: Pogrebnyak N.N., Shlepnev S.V., Bershadsky I.A., Spivakovsky A.V.
Efforts of teachers, laboratory assistants and students created laboratories on the main disciplines. Now the chair has a modern display class, the subject audience, five educational laboratories: electric lighting, electric devices and automation equipment, power supply, electrotechnological installations, electrotechnical materials.
Existence of good material base, modern computer aids and highly skilled teachers (75% of teachers with scientific degrees) allows chair to prepare engineering shots of high qualification. Teachers of chair read 18 subject matters among which along with the traditional and fundamental courses “Power Supply of the Industrial Enterprises”, “Electrotechnical Materials”, “Electrotechnological Plants”, “Electric Devices”, “Power Supply of the Cities” etc. are entered new, answering to rapid development of computer facilities and high technologies: “W and software”, “Mathematical problems of power”, “Theory of automatic control”, “Microprocessor equipment”, “Scheduling and telemechanization of systems of power supply”, “Reliability and electric equipment diagnostics”.
The contents and technique of teaching of courses is in continuous creative development. Example of such approach is the discipline “Power supply of the industrial enterprises”, who reads to the prof., the Dr.Sci.Tech. Kurenny E.G. The basic in technology of training is the principle of problem lectures and fundamental nature.
A great job is done by teachers of improvement and ensuring educational process with methodical grants of all disciplines (in printing and electronic options). 26 grants in the Russian and Ukrainian languages are over the last 5 years published. Among them the manual with a signature stamp of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine “Electric relays” (PhD. Barinberg A.D.), in which data on the main modern electromechanical relays are for the first time stated. For increase of learning efficiency modern technologies in the form of training systems on PEVM, computer simulators (on computer and to mathematically focused courses) are used. Course design (term papers and projects are carried out on 5 disciplines) is constantly improved. The subject of degree projects, the majority of them - real, executed on tasks of the enterprises extends. The number of carried-out students interuniversity and interfaculty degree projects increases.
Students take active part in the republican Olympic Games in the specialty, taking prizes (1 and the 2nd place in 1997, the 2nd place in 1998, 1 and the 3rd place in 1999 and the 2nd place in 2000), participate in republican competitions of scientific works, together with teachers publish articles.
For improvement of quality of training of electrical engineers, carrying out joint research works in Yamburg gas-field management (Russia) and JSC “Donbasskabel” are organized chair branches.
Scientific work of chair is focused on the solution of the actual tasks facing power services of the industrial enterprises, design and research institutes. On chair by the school of sciences in the field of statistical dynamics of systems of power supply is created prof. Kurennyi E.G. Bases of the general theory of electrical power processes in power supply systems are for the first time developed. Fundamental nature of these researches and their importance is confirmed by award to E.G. Kurennyi together with Akkad. A.K. Shidlovsky and the prof. L.V. Tsukernik in 1986 of award NAN of Ukraine for a cycle of works “Developing theories and methods of the analysis and optimization of electrical power systems and power supply systems”.
One of the scientific directions of chair is the assessment of reliability and safety of systems of power supply and forecasting of accidents and accidents on technological objects during their design and operation (hands. - Dr.Sci.Tech., prof. Kovalyov A.P.). Besides, on chair researches on development the magnito-ferrogirodinamicheskikh of devices of protection and automatic equipment (hands were actively conducted. Cand.Tech.Sci., PhD. Barinberg A.D.) and to the analysis of electromechanical transients in electric cars and networks (hands. - Cand.Tech.Sci., PhD. Sovpel V. B.). By results of researches ferrogidrodinamichesky indexes of current of the short circuit are introduced at the enterprises of electric networks, allowing quickly and safely to define the damaged site of a distributive cable network. These devices are original by the principle of action and answer the international standards in development of electric devices.
From 1987 to 1996 at chair the research “Microprocessor” laboratory worked, researches of electric networks of 6-35 kV and development of actions for increase of reliability of their functioning were the main which scientific directions. Results of works of laboratory are introduced on a number of the enterprises: PES of Kirovsky district of Donetsk; RES “Sakhalinenergo” Yuzhnosakhalinsk; Ustyilimsky hydroelectric power station; Avdeevsky cook-sokhimzavod; Gorlovka Concern “Stirol”.
Teachers of chair published 6 monographs (E.G. Kurenny - 4, A.D.Barinberg - 1, E.P. Ostrovsky - 1), 2 doctoral dissertations (E.G. Kurenny, A.P. Kovalyov), 26 master's theses are defended and a number of techniques in the form of normative documents by calculation of electric loadings of common industrial installations (Kurenny E.G. is introduced. Pogrebnyak N.N.); by calculation of electric loadings and tension losses in the electric networks feeding cars of contact electric welding (Mucha W.P.) by an assessment vzryvo-and fire safety of technological objects (Kovalyov A.P.). Scientific development of the prof. Kurennyi E.G. are included in GOST 13109-87 on quality of the electric power at electroconsumers.
The staff of chair is the owner more than 80 patents and copyright certificates on inventions, published about 600 articles, participated on VDNH USSR (2 silver medals - Kurenny E.G., Kolomyttsev A.D. Kovalchuk V.M.; 1 bronze - Yarmolenko V.I.) and VDNH of Ukraine.
The chair has contracts on scientific and technical cooperation with MAKNII, the Bobruisk branch of the Belarusian state economic university, Silesian polytechnical institute (Poland). It closely cooperates with the State Russian academy of oil and gas of I.M. Gubkin and JSC “Gazprom” (Russia).
For last years more than 3000 electrical engineers, including about 300 people for foreign countries are trained. In 2000 within specialty “Electrotechnical systems of a power consumption” 3 specializations are open: “Electrotechnical systems of a power consumption of industrial enterprises”, “Electrotechnical systems of a power consumption of the cities”, “Systems of power supply of industrial and municipal facilities”. Graduates of chair work at the enterprises of all industries, in city electric networks, agricultural production, design, research and educational institutes. Among them: Belousenko I.V. - the Dr.Sci.Tech., the deputy chief of a power mechanical control of JSC “Gazprom” (Russia), Fomenko V. G. - the director of the Kirov PES, Molyavko G. A. - the deputy director of joint stock company Avdeevsky koksokhimzavod, Antonov S. V. - the chief power engineer of Makeevsky iron and steel works, Radchenko Yu.P. - the director of institute Donbassvodokanalproyekt, Kovalchuk V. M. - Cand.Tech.Sci. PhD the director of the Bobruisk branch of the Belarusian state economic university, Fedorov S. D. - the president of the “SYNAPSE” firm (Kiev), etc.
