Первый в России центр передовой электротехники создадут на базе ЛЭТИ

The project aims to develop technologies in the energy and transport sectors

The St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI" has begun creating Russia's first Center for Engineering Development of Advanced Electrical Engineering. The project is being implemented with the support of a grant from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, in conjunction with JSC "Kursk Electrical Apparatus Plant" (KEAZ), and aims to develop technologies in the energy and transport sectors.

The center will focus on the development of electrical equipment in four areas: power conversion technology, electrical energy storage systems, Internet of Energy (Energy Transition), and marine electrical engineering. The project was the second in the Ministry of Industry and Trade's competition for the creation of engineering centers. The technological groundwork was laid as part of the "Priority 2030" program. The developed devices and systems will be transferred to mass production at Russian enterprises.

The center's work includes the creation of basic elements for systems of conversion and accumulation of electrical energy using digital twins, the development of controlled power interfaces and algorithms for hybrid energy systems. It is also planned to create solutions for marine electrical engineering, including energy converters and microgrids with renewable sources. The center will become a platform for the project activities of students of the Advanced Engineering School "Electronics and Electrical Engineering" LETI, which will allow training specialists for the labor market.

By 2031, the center's funding will amount to more than 100 million rubles annually. The project aims to achieve technological sovereignty in the energy, machine-building, and shipbuilding industries.
