Congratulations to the master's students of the department, Yelyzaveta Tupotina and Yuliia Onyshchenko, who received second-degree Laureate diplomas at the 5th All-Ukrainian Competition for Students and Young Scientists with International Participation, titled “Youth Intelligence: Sustainable Resource Management and Innovative Energy-Efficient Technologies.”

On October 17, 2024, the final scientific conference of the Competition took place, where the scientific achievements of our winners were discussed. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the organizers, partners, and sponsors for such a wonderful scientific event!

Special thanks go to the master's students for their enthusiasm in participating in this Competition and to their supervisor, Olena Borychenko.

From September 16 to 19, 2024, a series of pilot trainings titled "Process Energy Audit" commenced as part of the TEAD Project (Training for Energy Auditors and Designers).

The training program is fully aligned with the professional standard "Process Energy Auditor" and was developed by leading European energy auditors, as well as Ukrainian energy auditors who directly contributed to the development of the professional standard. Among them are Power Supply Department lecturers Anatoliy Chernyavskiy, Olena Borychenko, and Yuriy Veremiychuk, who are also part of the training team for this course.

From 23 to 26 September 2024, the Ukrainian delegation from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute took part in the Advanced Research Workshop «Energy infrastructure resilience in response to war and other hazards» within the framework of the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme, which took place at the Ignacy Łukasiewicz Rzeszow University of Technology, Poland. The main goal of the Workshop is to unite international efforts to develop effective approaches to protecting and restoring energy infrastructure, especially in emergency situations caused by war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters or cyber threats. The Ukrainian delegation consisted of scientists from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (Oksana Vovk, Natalia Zuievska, Liubov Shaidetska, Olena Borychenko, Anatolii Cherniavskyi, Olena Yarmoliuk, Vitalii Opryshko, Viktor Gurieiev, Olga Demydenko), NTU Dnipro Polytechnic (Yurii Papaika), and representatives of the State Labour Service of Ukraine.

On March 15, 2024, the general director of Schneider Electric Ukraine, Mykhailo Bubnov, held an open meeting and talked with students of KPI on topics related not only to specialization and industry, but also to issues of concern to young people in general:
• How can a student start his professional career?
• Can a senior student work in our company?
• What salary can a beginner expect?
• What skills and what approach will help to achieve success?

According to Mykhailo, the main factor of a successful start is interest in work. If there is interest, then there will be development, professional and financial growth. Every year, 10 students from various educational institutions and specialties undergo internships at Schneider Electric Ukraine. Such cooperation is mutually beneficial, as the students get practical knowledge, and we get a fresh perspective and ideas.

Students of our department at both the bachelor's and master's level, including under the educational and scientific program "Energy management, power supply and engineering of electrotechnical complexes" took part in this meeting.

We would like to note the feedback from the participant "It is very nice that in such difficult times for our country, such companies as Schneider Eclectic help our students become qualified specialists in their field. At the meeting with the general director Mykhailo Bubnov, a lot was discussed: cooperation with students and the department, the realized future after our Victory, as well as technical issues related to green energy, which are more relevant than ever. "I hope that this is not the last, but the first meeting for a new step in Ukrainian energy. Sincerely, Polina Pugach", a student of the OH-11 group.
