The high speed of solar energy development in the modern world allows us to assert that in the near future it will become one of the main sources of electricity. The authors describe a classification of solar power plants, which can be of two types – thermodynamic and photovoltaic, as well as the features of design and operation of these plants. There is a structural and schematic solution of autonomous solar power stations and ones operating in parallel with the external power grid. The features of their design and operation, including the main advantages and disadvantages were shown. It is shown that to improve the reliability, including uninterrupted power supply, a promising direction is the development of combined systems which in addition to the solar power plant may use wind power, gas or diesel power, etc. In addition, such stations may provide power from the external power supply. We have given one of the variants of structural designs of combined systems of energy and disclosed recommendations for the design of energy-efficient combined systems of power supply, made using renewable and conventional sources of electricity. The final version of the combined system of electricity supply and the degree of participation of traditional and renewable energy sources in electricity production is determined on the basis of the analysis of the energy balance and electromagnetic compatibility of the main functional elements of the system

Today, the questions of accelerated development of science are essential; it has become a real productive force, the most powerful factor influencing the level of scientific and technical progress. The most important part of the research work is experimental studies. The article reveals the methodology of experimental research involving the content of laboratory and industrial research, main stages, as well as graphic presentation and the analysis of the results of studies; as well as the methodology for the general analysis of theoretical and experimental studies, the sequence of introduction of the results of the research and criteria for evaluating their effectiveness. The main issues of the methodology of experimental researches discussed in the article will increase the effectiveness of scientific and research work of scientific collectives of organizations and companies

The rapid pace of global scientific and technological progress, which is the main engine of the economy, demands for higher education, the purpose of which is to prepare highly educated specialists – the intellectual potential of Russia. It is known, that technical and technological skills play an important role in scientific and technical progress; ultimately, the economic development of the country and the welfare of the population depends on it. The selection by the criterion of professional suitability is the basis for building a decent contingent of firstyear students of technical universities. The article describes the disadvantages of the known and the new method of selection, by qualifications, based on the evaluation of the implementation of the students tests on topics studied disciplines close to engineering. The article reveals content of the main stages of pre-University training in secondary educational institutions. The proposed method of selection based on professional suitability, and the system of training of contingent in secondary schools and colleges, created on the basis of higher educational institutions, will significantly improve the quality of training of specialists of technical and technological directions for universities

The article reveals the content of pedagogical work activities for teaching staff in the main activities of the Department (academic, educational, methodical, scientific and organizational-methodical work). We have offered a rational standard time for their quality execution, allowing improving the quality of training of university graduates. It is proposed to consider additional classes and consultations in the burden time of teachers, as well as the norms of time for preparation for publishing educational and scientific literature, development of training, methodological, logistical and organizational-methodical work. It is shown, that the participation of teachers in researches and development with the aim of earning money for the University reduces the level of the educational process. To improve the quality of training of students, we have offered a number of key measures that needed to be organized by the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation, and also, by employees of the administrative apparatus of universities

The main structural units of the University are departments; the results of their work influence the quality of knowledge, skills and competence of graduates and the image of the University. The article reveals the reasons of unproductive interaction of the departments with divisions, providing educational process; it also discusses suggestions that will improve the performance of the main indicators of assessment of the efficiency of activities of the University. It is shown, that a systematic approach is the basis in the organization of work of structural divisions of the University, but it is difficult to implement, if managers and supervisors do not have authority. To improve the quality of graduates and their demand in the labor market, it requires exempting the Department from administrative work. These functions can be redirected to the management, departments and services with modern electronic information processing system. To achieve high results in training in-demand graduates is possible when the offices and the departments will work as a team with the lecturers, in cooperation and understanding

One of the main tasks is the improvement of the education system, the quality of which depends on the level of economic development of the country. In Russia, for more than 10 years there has been a continuously reformed educational system. This is due to Russia's accession (in 2003) to the group of countries – participants of the Bologna Declaration, involving the convergence and harmonization of education systems in European countries with the aim of creating a unified educational space. The article describes the main positions that are subject to a quality assessment of education from foreign universities; we have also revealed the reasons for the low world rating of Russian universities. At present, the education system of the country should facilitate accelerated development of the economy of the state in the first place. This work reveals the shortcomings of the main reforms related to the implementation of CSE in secondary educational institutions, the bureaucratization of the higher education system that resulted in time reduction of contact of the work of students with teachers, and as a result – deterioration of quality of preparation of graduates. We have also revealed the causes of the current situation and the main directions that will contribute to the development of the education system in Russia. These areas are the development of: a strategic plan for the development of higher education; a training system worthy contingent of higher education institutions; an effective system of preparation of students and evaluation of the quality of their knowledge and labor potential; a system of training for scientificpedagogical personnel and improving their qualification; assessment criteria of effectiveness and ability of educational institutions to provide quality knowledge

We have revealed the main reasons for interruptions in power supply to consumers of electricity. To improve the reliability and the efficiency of power supply for responsible consumers, we have proposed to develop energy efficient combined energy-saving systems for uninterrupted power supply with use of renewable energy sources. The article lists major principles of the development of such systems; it shows the necessity of constructing a generalized schema that contains the possible types and the sources of electric power converters. It also reveals the modern requirements to systems of uninterrupted energy supply. To improve the operational and technical characteristics of the uninterruptible power supply, it has been proposed to use a new circuitry that includes a contactless power generators, the direct frequency converters used to stabilize the voltage and frequency of the current generators of wind turbines, static converters made with the use of single-phase transformers with rotating magnetic field, universal static converters that can operate in the regimes of known types of converters. The article presents features of the modular construction of systems of uninterrupted energy supply and optimization of their structural decisions on key performance criteria. It shows the algorithm of synthesis of structural designs of combined systems of uninterrupted power supply. An important step for further research with the aim of improving operational and technical characteristics of the combination of uninterrupted power supply systems is the mathematical modeling of physical processes in power circuits of the system in both normal and emergency modes of operation

In the autonomous power supply systems there are widely used frequency converters that are able to simultaneously increase or decrease the frequency of the current and voltage stabilizing power supply. These positive properties of frequency converters can improve the operational and technical characteristics of the autonomous power supply system in the complex. The article suggests a functional diagram of a frequency converter performed on reversible rectifiers. We have presented timing diagrams illustrating the principle of its operation. The article also deals with two functional scheme of direct frequency converters executed on single-phase, threephase transformer with a rotating magnetic field. The principle of operation of these schemes has been also discussed in the timing diagrams. The proposed technical solutions for frequency converters contain a smaller amount of power electronic devices that make it possible, thereby reducing the level of electromagnetic interference, increase the efficiency and reliability of performance inverters. The considered scheme of frequency converters, can improve the technical characteristics of the autonomous power supply systems in the complex. We can significantly improve the performance of power systems through the use of modular aggregating principle of the basic functional units of an autonomous system

The article reveals main reasons for developing tendencies to the using of new types of energy, which are limited supply of traditional fuels and environmental problems associated with its processing. It is shown that new forms of energy plays an important role in the energy supply of many countries of the world, and in the future they can become the main sources of energy to meet the growing needs of the global economy. We reveal main reasons of the increasing interest in renewable energy, and we show the obvious prospects of their use, due to two factors. First, according to experts, the global reserves of traditional fuels are limited, and secondly, this was evidenced by the investments of leading countries in this promising industry. The article lists reasons for the need for the use of renewable energy sources in Russia. Increased consumption of natural resources has become a real threat to the security of the life of human society. The basis of solving modern social and environmental problems is a transition to a regulated process of safe use of natural energy potential to meet the vital needs of people not only in the coming decades, but in the long run. It is concluded, that the determining condition for the development of the human civilization at present and in the future would be the level of natural resources which ensures the needs of the population without making harm to the environment

An important question is increasing objectivity in evaluation of current and residual knowledge of students on the subjects. Based on these assessments, teachers will adjust the work program and calendarthematic plan on discipline, forms and methods of teaching in order to ensure a high level of knowledge, allowing making necessary competence and skills of future specialists. The article proposes the evaluation system of students ' knowledge and determines their rankings, taking into account the qualifications of the teachers who taught their classes. Knowledge assessment might be defined as just one discipline, or as all the across disciplines for a semester, academic year and study period. The knowledge of students on discipline is estimated on the results of the test tasks based on current estimates obtained in a semester, and examination grades. We have reviewed the quality assessment system of students ' knowledge and determined their rating; it will increase the credibility of the evaluation. In addition, it increases the effectiveness of the educational process, since the evaluation of students ' knowledge and skills of teachers, will help heads of departments and deans to make decisions about the professional development of teachers, showed poor results
