Power Engineering and Power Technology
Distributed Generation System Management
Educational Program
The Master Program Distributed Generation System Management (DGSM) focuses on the management of microgrids with local power sources, including renewable energy sources.
The master's program provides an integrated approach to understanding the processes of distributed generation power supply systems operation. This program includes not only the field of electric power industry, but also related issues of management and economics of distributed generation systems.
The DGSM program aims to increase the ability of students to develop and manage projects, as well as lead and coordinate project teams.
The program has been developed in accordance with the experience of NMSTU in European projects to improve educational and research infrastructure courses.
You will be taught:
- Analyze, predict and evaluate the efficiency of operating modes of power supply systems with distributed generation sources, including renewable ones, using hardware and software;
- Understand the processes taking place in the electricity markets and, in particular, the microgeneration markets;
- Modeling electricity systems with distributed generation and develop measures to improve their performance;
- Assess the risks and economic performance of electricity systems with distributed generation.

Student Life
NMSTU is one of the leading universities in Russia. In addition to the main educational activity, it enables students of our direction to develop individually.
In the scientific community, students in the Electric Power and Electrical Engineering field are engaged in the R & D-center (Research & Development center), an innovative research and development center, a research and educational center organized by Schneider Electric at the university. All this allows students and undergraduates in our field to participate and take prizes in prestigious Russian and international competitions, conferences and championships. Graduate students of the department were awarded prizes in the All-Russian competition of final qualifying works held at the Novosibirsk State Technical University.
Students of Power Engineering and Power Technology programs won an international competition and received a grant to study in France. For a whole semester they studied in another country, met with French students and their learning process. Also, colleagues from abroad come to our university annually for the international exchange of experience.
Every year, the best young graduates: students, undergraduates and graduate students of our department take part in the Case-in International Engineering Championship. Our students take part in concerts, charity events, volunteer events at the university, city and regional levels. They create original scripts, shoot videos, play fun and resourceful in a club, develop a student leader in the school, and support sports.
