The School of Russian Electric Power Engineering of the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University – 125 Years of Development from the Electromechanical Department to the Institute of Power Engineering
Abstract
The article briefly reviews the development history of the School of Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering at the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, from its establishment in 1899 to the present day. It provides brief historical information about the university's establishment, its organization and structure, as well as the main stages of its reorganizations, reforms, and name changes, accompanied by historical photographs. The article also includes brief biographies of graduates and employees of the SPbPU Electromechanical Division (Department). The article presents the main scientific achievements of Russia's outstanding scientists who laid down the principles of electric power engineering and developed it from the university founding to the present day. This period covers the development of electrical engineering from the GOELRO plan to the technologies of digital twins and artificial intelligence. An attempt has been made to mention, in this short article, the names of most prominent and talented researchers who have received higher education, received Doctoral or Candidate’s dissertations at SPbPU, whose scientific and pedagogical activity is connected with SPbPU, and who have been recognized by the Russian and international scientific societies, academicians, and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
