ENGINEERING FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT Jelgava, 29.-30.05.2008. 6 MODERN PREPARATION OF THE POWER-ENGINEERS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL TERRITORIES

Abstract. The new contents of special disciplines for preparation of the engineers is developed in SPbSAU. It provides power support study of the agricultural manufacture as reliable and opportune supply of the minimal energy to all power technological processes (PTP). This is deeper education in comparison with the level, accepted in Russia, of equipment choice. The basic points of the contents are those. The agricultural area occupies significant territories determining an opportunity of the use of resources of renewing sources of energy (the sun, wind, water, bioenergy). The traditional plan of equipment accommodation, determining now the preparation level of specialist, should be advanced up to the power chart, including power technological processes. Three types of (PTP) power technological processes, covering all variants of power use are offered. The concept of private profitable power is introduced and its growth of power saving is proved. Specialist, possessing such knowledge, becomes one of the managers of the enterprise. Such specific feature of agricultural manufacture, as a bioobject presence, determining all its technological format, obliges to conduct preparation of specialists in agrarian high schools only. The most probable form of power management in this branch is to render services to the enterprises by the specialized firm (outsourcing). The work of such firms will ensure the balanced development of rural infrastructure territories. Key words: power saving, method of final relations, optimization, technical power audit, power profitability
