R&D activities of the Institute cover the elaboration of theoretical principles, methods and means of computer science, focused on improving the efficiency and safety in the fuel-and-power complex (FPC) of Ukraine and introducing energy-saving technologies to other branches of industry and economy. The theoretical basis of research carried out by the Institute is, first and foremost, the development of advanced information technologies, as well as methods and means of mathematical and computer modeling both of the general nature and function-oriented one. Applied studies of the Institute are aimed, basically, at the use of state-of-the-art computer and communication technologies, methods and means of computer modeling for solving various problems of FPC of Ukraine.
Such research areas play the major role:
1. Providing information support to and developing computer systems for solving the following problems in power engineering: mathematical modeling of various processes, facilities and systems; integrated information-systems introduction to industry with wide use of monitoring systems; automated designing of various power facilities; systems for training, simulation and professional diagnostics of the staff at power facilities; technical diagnostics and improvement in power facilities reliability; information security and means of information protection; ecological safety.
2. Developing the theory and practice of application of specialized computers, complexes and systems, intellectual computer managing systems in power engineering; the use of super computer for solving problems of modeling and control.
The Institute carries out research into constructing economic-and-mathematical models of FPC, methods to estimate electric power losses and calculate tariffs, computer systems for power facilities diagnostics on the basis of ultrasonic holography and tomography. Of special significamce are works concerned with developing methods and computer means for backing up decision-making in tasks of organizational and technological management of power industry.
The Institute proposes for joint research and commercialization:
– A computer system for monitoring the energy market of Ukraine.
– A computer system for decision-making in emergencies.
– A system for logical-and-semantic processing of normative documents for various purposes.
– Geoinformation systems.
– Diagnostic laboratories and leak detectors for power facilities and municipal networks.
– A system for automated designing of specialized devices.
– A system for ultrasonic non-destructive testing and diagnostics of materials.
– Computer systems for modeling and designing heat-power and gas-liquid systems of power facilities.
