Prerequisites
Subjects of the curriculum of the Bachelor Degree in the direction of the electric power industry and electrical engineering
Course Objectives
Be ready to solve the following problems: –to acquire knowledge of global influence of power engineering on the Earth and human civilization, –to gain an impression on the state of the art and trends in the development of power engineering in general and of its main component – electrical power engineering (EPE); –to accumulate knowledge of the main problems in EPE and methods of their solution.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of the course study students need to know: • current state and established in the current trends and directions of the world power development; • the basic problems of the power, environmental and geopolitical security caused by the rapid growth of energy consumption; • approaches and solutions to the problems mentioned above; • the real position of the different leading countries in the world energy markets, electricity and energy services (current state and prospects); Moreover, students need to know how to solve the following problems: • estimate the scale and priorities of the problems and threats, • to choose optimal solutions that would not redouble these problems, but, on the contrary, have contributed to their solution at all stages of the life cycle of energy resources - from extraction and conversion into electrical and thermal energy to the consumption and sale in the domestic and international markets; • navigate the flood of information and distinguish between real problems and challenges spawned from incompetence or greed (energy for today highly politicized and criminalized).
