General information about the Department of Power Systems Automation

 

The Department of Power Systems Automation has been part of the Faculty of Electric Power Engineering and Automatics since 1962. Based on its educational, methodological, and research complex, the department carries out the following activities:

  • training specialists at Bachelor’s and Master’s levels under the educational program “Control, Protection, and Automation of Electric Power Systems” of the G3 “Electrical Engineering” major, with three focus areas;
  • training and internship of highly qualified scientific personnel;
  • advanced training of energy specialists at the “Informmerezha” Scientific and Engineering Center;
  • conducting theoretical and applied research on automated control of power systems using information and computer technologies in the structural units of the “Informmerezha” Scientific and Engineering Center and the Sectoral Research Laboratory of the Ministry of Energy;
  • developing educational and methodological support for specialist training, advanced training, and research internships.

Control, Protection, and Automation of Electric Power Systems is one of the most advanced programs for preparing specialists to solve contemporary scientific, technical, and industrial challenges in the management, distribution, and consumption of electricity, leveraging information technologies, computing and microprocessor techniques, and modern automatic and automated control systems. This program opens wide opportunities for graduates to find employment and engaging work in power companies and other industries, institutions, and firms involved in the development and operation of information systems, computer technologies, and automation devices, ensuring strong demand for its graduates.

Within the program, training is organized into three focus areas: “Automatic Control of Electric Power Systems (Relay Protection and Automation)”, “Intelligent Control of Electric Power Systems (Dispatcher, Technological Control, and Information Networks)”, and “Electrical Power Computer Technologies of Control Systems”.

The prestige of the Department of Power Systems Automation is built on its numerous graduates. The modern level of specialist training opens broad opportunities for employment and engaging work in power companies and other industries, institutions, and firms involved in the development and operation of information systems, computer technologies, and automation devices. Since its founding, the department has trained over 800 full-time and 200 part-time or evening students. Thanks to the implementation of modern, up-to-date training programs, graduates are consistently in high demand in the energy sector, possessing a solid fundamental and general engineering education as well as deep professional knowledge with advanced informatics and computing skills. Annual demand for graduates significantly exceeds the number of students completing the program.

The educational and research process at the Department of Power Systems Automation is carried out by a highly qualified academic and research staff: Doctors and Candidates of Technical Sciences, Professors, and Associate Professors. Students have access to educational and research laboratories equipped with modern computers and specialized equipment from leading global companies. Scientific Supervisor of the department is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Oleksandr Yandulskyi.
