About the scientific school of MGRI-RSGPU in the energy sphere of mining and geological enterprises

Abstract

It is shown that the researches in the energy sector of the geological and prospecting works were started in MGRI under the appraisal of Ministry of Geology of USSR in 70-s years of twentieth century with the initial task to develop the educational-methodological base of this direction. In 1976 the first textbook «Electrical equipment and electrical supply of geological and prospecting works» was published. The researches continued in the next directions: scientific bases, optimization and improvement of the electrical supply of the geological and prospecting works; optimization and improvement of the power supply on the base ofcogeneration systems; using of the secondary and renewable power sources and others. On the base of these researches in 1990 the department of the Energy was organized, which trains the specialists-electricians for the geological and mining sphere. In the result of the researches and teaching experience of the energetics discip lines in MGRI-RSGPU the scientific school was formed for the optimization of power supply of the geological and mining enterprises.It is shown that the one of the main develops of this school, which were inserted in learning process, is the develop in the optimization of the power supply systems of the mining-geological profile, in the current conditions of the structural changes of Russian energy sector.
