HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT
In the Kirghiz SSR, there was an urgent need for engineering and technical personnel, and the first admission to the technical faculty of the Kirghiz State University (KSU) was in 1952. On the basis of this faculty, in 1954, the Frunze Polytechnic Institute (FPI) was organized, which was among the ten best technical universities of the USSR for many years. In 1957, the Department of Electrical Stations, Networks and Systems was organized at the Frunze Polytechnic Institute (FPI). The founder and first head of the department - PhD, Associate Professor V.A. Andreev, was simultaneously the vice-rector for academic and scientific work at FPI. The first graduation of electrical engineers for the national economy of the country took place in 1959.
From 1962 to 1969, the department was headed by E.V. Shonin , Dean of the Energy Faculty, holder of the honorary title "Excellent Worker of Soviet Energy". From 1969 to 1975, the department was headed by PhD, Associate Professor K.R. Rakhimov. In 1972, the department of "Power Supply of Industrial Enterprises, Cities and Agriculture" separated from the department of "Electric Stations, Networks and Systems". And the department was named "Electric Stations".
The Department of Electrical Stations was headed by:
- from 1975 to 1978, PhD, Associate Professor I.N. Vasilenko;
- from 1978 to 1984 - candidate of technical sciences, associate professor K. R. Rakhimov;
- from 1984 to 1988 - candidate of technical sciences, associate professor Yu.P. Simakov;
- from 1988 to 2008, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor J.A. Apyshev. Due to the reorganization in 1994, the Department of Electric Power Plants was renamed and became the Department of Electric Power Engineering. Students began training in three profiles:
"Electric Power Stations", "Electric Power Systems and Networks", "Relay Protection and Automation of Electric Power Systems".
Over the years of its operation, the material and technical base of the department has significantly expanded, and its scientific potential has increased. Under the supervision of Professor J.A. Apyshev, six candidate dissertations were completed and defended at the department, and the Kyrgyz-German Technical Faculty was created, where they began training bachelors in the profile of "Relay protection and automation of electric power systems".
From 2008 to 2020, the Department of Electric Power Engineering named after Professor D. Apyshev was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor T. A. Dzhunuyev . During this period, the laboratory base of the department was modernized, new laboratory stands were purchased, a physical model of a mini-power system line was built at the training ground of the department.
Since 2020, the department has been headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of KSTU A.B. Bakasova , whose activities are aimed at further improving the educational process and successful research work of the department.
From 2004 to the present, the department has been recruiting and training bachelors in the field of 640200 " Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering " in the profiles of " Electric Power Plants", "Electric Power Systems and Networks", "Relay Protection and Automation of Electric Power Systems", and since 2024, on the basis of the Kyrgyz -German Technical Institute (KGTI), training of bachelors in the field of " Electrical Engineering and Information Technology " has been opened in the profile of "Electric Power Engineering and Automation Technologies".
From 2003 to the present, the department has been recruiting and training masters in the field of 640200 " Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering " in the master's programs - "Electric Power Plants", "Electric Power Systems and Networks", "Relay Protection and Automation of Electric Power Systems", and since 2024, on the basis of KGTI, training of masters in the field of " Electrical Engineering and Information Technology " has been opened under the master's program "Electric Power Engineering".
Since 2000, the department has been training highly qualified personnel – postgraduate and doctoral students who receive the degrees of candidate and doctor of sciences, respectively, in the priority scientific specialty: 05.14.02 - power plants and electric power systems . Today, 14 applicants are successfully completing dissertation research.
Teaching staff of the department: 2 professors, doctors of science; 1 professor of KSTU, candidate of science; 6 associate professors, candidates of science; 1 associate professor of KSTU; 6 senior lecturers; 2 lecturers.
The department staff also includes two heads of laboratories, one methodologist, and one laboratory assistant.
Professors and teachers of the department carry out research work on assignment from the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Innovation of the Kyrgyz Republic.
THE PURPOSE OF THE DEPARTMENT'S WORK
- providing the electric power industry of the Kyrgyz Republic and other countries with high-quality qualified specialists with theoretical and applied knowledge in the field of electric power industry (including digital electric power industry), who are able to solve technical, analytical, scientific problems in the chosen field of professional activity using modern information and communication technologies in the context of a rapidly changing information process;
- conducting fundamental scientific research, experimental design work in the electric power, electrical engineering and other related fields.
SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES
