In 1961, the Department began training of engineers on a speciality "power Supply of cities and industrial enterprises, and from 1965 - a new specialty "Cybernetics of electric systems.
Under the scientific supervision of prof HOLIKOVA V.G in 1960, the Department came to the forefront and become the base of the Department among the related departments of technical universities of Ukraine on the use of computer technology in the electric power industry of the former USSR. In 1965 the Department reoriented the educational process at the wide use of computer technology.
In the years 1972-74, the Department was carried out significant restructuring in connection with the alignment of contingent other departments and faculties of the CRPD. In 1972 preparation on a speciality "power Supply of cities and enterprises was transferred to the faculty of mining electromechanics, and in 1974 on speciality "Cybernetics of electric systems" transferred to the Department "automation of power systems".
In 1975 the Department was headed by Professor Suleymanov V.M., who headed the Department until February 2011 the Main directions of his scientific interests: problems of restructuring shunting capacity former UES of South, static stability of power systems, which contain the HVDC, computing support dispatcher decisions on the basis of expert systems with elements of artificial intelligence, strategy development and improvement of energy security of IPS of Ukraine.
During 1972-1987, an important contribution to the development of the Department made Corr.- short film. The USSR Academy of Sciences, Professor G.I. Denisenko (1919-1998 year), rector of KPI, who was a Professor.
Prof. G.I. Denisenko - known scientist, chief specialist in the field of production and distribution of electric energy, talented organizer of science and industrial implementation of research results. The initiator and organizer of the works connected with a simultaneous electric energy transfer by direct and alternating currents on the total transmission lines, melting ice pulsed current, creating installations and the use of renewable energy sources in the energy systems. They first proposed model and established research samples of a number of wind, wave and solar plants, capable of carrying large electrical load. He trained 20 candidates and 2 doctors of technical Sciences, was awarded 14 copyright certificates.
In the last quarter of the last century a significant contribution to the development of methodological and scientific school of the Department was also made of the talented scientists and leading teachers of the Department: Professor Shcherbina J.V., Professor Sinelnikova VA, Professor Zorin CENTURIES
In the period 1996-2013, chair of the introduction of a number of talented graduates and leading scientific employees of the NAS of Ukraine: Professor Butkevych OF, professional Tankevich E.M., Professor Kirik V.V., ass. Tugai SCI, Assoc. Shpolyansky GA, AC. Panenko A.N. (1991), AC. Luccin MM, AC. Chizhevsky CENTURIES, AC. Besarab O., AC. Dubatouk A.S.
Among the graduates of the Department are many famous scientists, academicians, doctors and candidates of technical Sciences, State prize winners, heads of industries, statesmen.
In February 2011, the Department was headed by doctor of technical Sciences Kirik Valery V. graduate of the chair of Electric stations 1978. From 1978 to 1982, engineer, senior engineer of the project Institute "Ukrtel", and from 1982 to 2013 senior researcher of the Institute of electrodynamics of NAS of Ukraine. Basic scientific directions: research and development silvotecna systems of commutation of electric current and Sonova protection devices based on liquid metals for operation at high temperatures (up to 600) and regardless of orientation in space; modeling and study of decision-making systems control of electrical devices and installations on the basis of the mathematical apparatus of fuzzy logic; development of methods and algorithms of calculation of lightning and switching overvoltage and prediction of geomagnetic induction stump in electric networks.
