Power and Electrical Engineering
Accreditation. State accreditation.
Awards and achievements. The program has been recognized as the best educational program of innovative Russia for several years. Students are winners of regional science and technology conferences for young specialists held by Samotlorneftegaz, prize-winners of the contests held as part of the Russian Energy Week International Forum, and holders of personal scholarships from Nizhnevartovskaya SDPP (Inter RAO-Electrogeneration) and Samotlorneftegaz, a regional branch of Rosneft Oil Company.
Teaching staff. The department teachers are specialists in electric power engineering and electrical engineering, heat power engineering and heat engineering. The representatives of the real sector of the economy, such as employees of Samotlorneftegaz, the federal autonomous institution Glavgosekspertiza, Nizhnevartovsk Electric Networks (a branch of Rosseti Tyumen), and other partner enterprises, which are the industry leaders, are engaged in the educational process.
Learning outcomes. While mastering the program, students learn how to make calculations and design electric power and electrical engineering systems and their components, draw up operation instructions for equipment and test programs; carry out adjustment and experimental checks of electric power and electrotechnical equipment, run a check of the technical condition and residual life of electric power and electrotechnical equipment, organize preventive inspection and regular repair, calculate, control and change operating modes of equipment of electric power facilities.
Facilities and resources. The department uses specialized laboratories for laboratory and practical classes such as laboratories of electric engineering and electronics, electric power engineering and energy conservation, electromechanics and electrical devices, heat power engineering and heat engineering. Students have classes in the electrical equipment installation and setup workshop and the workshop of the Department for Power Engineering. Students undergo training at ranges and simulation training centers of industrial enterprises such as Samotlorneftegaz, Rosneft Oil Company, Nizhnevartovskaya SDPP (Inter RAO-Electrogeneration) (INTER RAO – Electric Power Plants), and Nizhnevartovsk Electric Networks (a branch of Rosseti Tyumen).
Research. Study of stability of electric power engineering systems and electrical equipment diagnosis; reliability issues of the oilfield electricity supply system, the energy resource saving system, simulation of overpressure in oilfield electric networks.
Competitive advantages. An effective combination of theory classes with the acquisition of practical skills in operating real electric power engineering equipment of oil and gas production enterprises, electric power plants and networks allows graduates to become sought-after specialists in the job market.
Career prospects and employment. There are specialized departments established at major enterprises in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area—Yugra such as Samotlorneftegaz, a regional branch of Rosneft Oil Company; Nizhnevartovskaya SDPP (Inter RAO-Electrogeneration), Nizhnevartovsk Electric Networks, a branch of Rosseti Tyumen.
