Developing infrastructure for energy sustainability and digital education, together with partners

On 23 April, the Faculty of Electric Power Engineering and Automatics (FEPEA) at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted a presentation of the new infrastructure solutions that strengthen university’s energy autonomy and digital capabilities.

The virtual energy systems modelling laboratory exemplifies successful cooperation with both international and Ukrainian partners. Owing to their support, a comprehensive educational digital environment for modelling complex energy systems has been created. Key contributions include:

  • 15 MATLAB software licences granted by the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute;
  • 25 PowerFactory licences issued by the DMCC Engineering company; and
  • 15 modern computers acquired at the expense of the Kyiv Polytechnic’s Development Fund.

The lab was established with the participation of the Swedish Institute within the framework of the international project Ukrainian Sustainable Energy Systems.

The Digital Power Lab has been fully equipped, thanks to Huawei Ukraine. Currently, it is capable of supplying electric power to FEPEA’s structural subdivisions during power outages, enabling the uninterrupted educational process.

The photovoltaic system of guaranteed power supply to the dean’s office and the FEPEA admissions committee was developed with the assistance of the Atmosfera company. This solution ensures the smooth operation of the faculty administration, which is essential during critical periods like examinations and the admission campaign.
