HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT «ELECTRIC POWER ENGINEERING NAMED ARTER PROFESSOR J. APYSHEV»

The beginning of intensive development of the richest hydropower resources, implementation of a wide program of construction of power plants and long high-voltage power lines, increasing the level of electrification of all sectors of the national economy of the Kyrgyz SSR in the 50s of the XX century determined the acute need for training of engineering personnel for the electric power industry.

The first enrollment of students in the specialty «Electric power stations, networks and systems» was made in 1952 at the Technical Faculty of the Kyrgyz State University (KSU) of the Republic.

On the basis of this faculty in 1954 was organized Frunze Polytechnic Institute (FPI), which was among the ten best technical universities of the USSR for many years. In 1957 the department «Electrical Stations, Networks and Systems» was organized in FPI.

The founder and the first head of the department was seconded from Moscow in 1957 - Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor V.A. Andreev, an excellent lecturer and organizer, at the same time was Vice-Rector for educational and scientific work FPI, lectured on relay protection and transients. Under his leadership in a short period of time laboratories were created for the disciplines: Relay protection and automation; Electrical part of stations; Electrical networks; Electrical materials; High voltage technology. According to the project ordered by V.A. Andreev the energy building (now building 5) with a high-voltage hall 18x18x14 meters, mini-HPP and special laboratories for energy courses were built.

In the middle of the 60's another laboratory «Transients in electrical systems» was created, which was modernized in the 70's (Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor V.A.
