Power supply and resource-saving technologies
Goals of the Educational Programme
The purpose of the program is to gain knowledge, skills and abilities in the branch of electromechanics, maintenance and repair of power supply systems of railways and other consumers.
Students learn to use a modern element base in the operation of electrical power supply systems. Particular attention is paid to the impact of quality characteristics of energy supply on the level of electricity consumption, the efficiency of the introduction of storage systems in railway transport, the impact of operating modes of power supply systems on the energy performance of electricity consumers.
