DESCRIPTION

The main objective of the Master's programme is to prepare a master in the field of electric power engineering, capable of being a leader, working in a team, acting and winning in a competitive environment.

AIMS

research activity:
•    analysing the conditions and index dynamics of activity objects with the use of necessary research methods and tools;
•    building mathematical models of professional activity objects;
•    developing plans and programmes for conducting research;
•    analysing and synthesizing professional activity objects;
•    forming the aims of the project (programme), criteria and indices of achieving the aim, building a structure of their connections, identifying prioritized tasks.

project activity:
•    developing and analysing generalized variants of solutions;
•    prognosing the consequences of solutions;
•    finding compromising solutions in conditions of multicriterionality and uncertainty;
•    planning project realization;
•    assessing the technical and economic viability of solutions.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On successful completion of the course the student should be able to:
•    conduct expertise for offered design solutions and new technological solutions;
•    formulate technical specifications, develop and apply automation tools during the design and technological preparation of production;
•    apply methods of creating and analysing models allowing to prognose the properties and behaviour of professional activity objects;
•    implement technical and economic substantiation for projects;
•    select serial professional activity objects and design the new ones;
•    assess the admissibility and conditions for the stability of the power system mode.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Graduates of the master's program are capable of analyzing information and preparing technical reports based on the monitoring and diagnostics of hydroelectric power plants and pumped storage plants. They can organize and conduct monitoring of key electrical equipment, form recommendations based on this monitoring, develop and implement software for automated process control systems, perform technical maintenance of these systems, address technical modernization tasks, and create project documentation for power supply systems in capital construction projects. Additionally, they can exercise supervisory oversight during the installation of power supply systems and handle the operational support of relay protection devices and accident prevention automation systems.
