TOMSK, Jun 4 – RIA Tomsk. Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) together with industrial partner EleSy-Pro opened a modern Laboratory of Automated Control Systems (ACS); undergraduates of the Power and Heat Engineering program will master technologies of high-speed thermal measurements and design elements and units of control systems, the university's press service said.
It is noted that the laboratory was created by an interdisciplinary team of School of Energy & Power Engineering and Research School of High-Energy Physics with the support of the company EleSy-Pro and the Technical University of Darmstadt. Leading scientists from global research centers and specialists from high-tech industries are brought in to work with students in the lab.
"The laboratory is primarily designed for master's degree students in thermal power engineers. At the same time, it allows implementing two trajectories of training specialists – engineering and scientific, including in English... This will allow TPU to train specialists in demand at the international level", – the press service quotes the manager of the project, Professor of Butakov Research Center Pavel Strizhak.
Four virtual complexes were developed for students to work in the laboratory. They allow practicing skills in 3D assembly of automation switchboard, optical methods of diagnostics of steam and gas flows, control of processes at SCADA level. In addition, undergraduates will be able to simulate the automated design of standard electrical connections in the automation switchboard, the report noted."The specialists of EleSy-Pro and TPU have jointly developed virtual laboratory and practical works with the possibility of remote access to them. In addition, the industrial partner equipped the classroom with three automation boards with modern domestic and foreign equipment", – says the report.
