DEPARTMENT'S PROFILE
The Department of Electric Power Engineering at TU FEI of Košice was
founded on the 1st October 1973 but it had been in preparation process since 1969
as a section of Power Engineering at the Department of Electrical Drives. Since
1.10.2003 the Department of High Voltage and its part the High Voltage Testing
Laboratory were interlocked to Department of Electric Power Engineering. Currently
the Department of Electric Power Engineering has 2 professors, 5 associate
professors, 9 assistant professors, 5 scientific workers and 7 internal PhD students.
Students are educated to solve problems in the areas of generation,
transmission and effective usage of electric power by means of PC equipment and
with respect to the rules of environment protection. Since 1991 the Department has
been offering a postgraduate study in the field of electric power engineering.
The Department staff has worked on several research projects main of which
dealt with development and verification of equipment for electric power companies,
conversion of sunlight power using vacuum collectors and effective energy projects
consumption in the electric furnaces for thermal technologies. Nowadays research
are focused on use of artificial intelligence for power system control, computer
modelling of power equipment and digital relays, improving the mechanical
