High-Voltage Equipment of Power Systems: Design, Principles of Operation, Testing, Monitoring and Diagnostics

Vasiliy Ya. Ushakov is Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. Now he is Professor at the Energy Engineering School of Tomsk Polytechnic University. He has many years of experience teaching special disciplines ("High-voltage engineering", "Current state, problems and perspectives of Electrical engineering", "Energy saving ") in Russian and in English (including abroad - Ulsan University, South Korea) and the course "Professional English" for Russian-speaking students. He has published over 300 scientific articles and 24 monographs and textbooks (five of them in Springer Verlag) and received 38 invention certificates and patents. Under his leadership, 37 candidate and 7 doctoral dissertations were defended. In different years, he held the following positions: Head of High Voltage Department of the Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU), Head of High Voltage Research Institute at TPU, Vice-Rector for Research of TPU, and Head of Regional Resources SavingCentre. He has several government awards.

Alexey V. Mytnikov received the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Tomsk Polytechnic University in 1988. He received the Ph.D. degree in 2001. He is Associate Professor of Power Engineering Institute, Tomsk Polytechnic University (Tomsk, Russia). His research interests focus on power transformer diagnostics, high-voltage technologies, and engineering pedagogics. Also, he provides full range of special courses for bachelor's and master's teaching specialization "High Voltage Power Engineering", including lectures, practices, and workshops. New technology of winding condition control, which is based on the nanosecond probing impulses, is the result of his experimental work. Simulations are a useful tool but as Hippocrates once said: "Clever man is not who knows a lot, but whose knowledge is useful". I follow this motto now. Alexey V. Mytnikov published more than 80 scientific articles.

Ikromjon U.Rakhmonov is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, and Head of the Department of Power Supply, Tashkent State Technical University. The scope of his scientific interests is increasing the efficiency and reliability of meeting the energy needs of industrial enterprises by predicting, standardizing of energy consumption, and monitoring the state of power-consuming equipment.

He published about 200 scientific and educational works, including 4 monographs and 48 articles in journals from the SCOPUS database. His Hirsch Index is 10 (in the SCOPUS database). Under the scientific supervision of IU Rakhmonov, 2 doctoral dissertations were defended; currently, 2 doctoral students and 4 independent researchers are preparing their scientific qualification works (dissertations). During his pedagogical work, he published 7 textbooks, 5 manuals, and more than 20 guidelines.

Vasiliy Ya. Ushakov 是俄羅斯聯邦的榮譽科學與技術工作者。目前他是湯斯克理工大學能源工程學院的教授。他在俄語和英語（包括國外 - 韓國蔚山大學）教授專業課程（如「高壓工程」、「電氣工程的現狀、問題與前景」、「節能」）以及為俄語學生提供「專業英語」課程，擁有多年經驗。他已發表超過300篇科學文章和24本專著及教科書（其中五本在Springer Verlag出版），並獲得38項發明證書和專利。在他的指導下，37篇碩士論文和7篇博士論文被成功答辯。在不同的年份，他擔任過以下職位：湯斯克理工大學（TPU）高壓系主任、TPU高壓研究所所長、TPU研究副校長以及區域資源節約中心主任。他獲得了多項政府獎勵。

Alexey V. Mytnikov 於1988年獲得湯斯克理工大學電氣工程碩士學位，並於2001年獲得博士學位。他是湯斯克理工大學（俄羅斯湯斯克）電力工程學院的副教授。他的研究興趣集中在電力變壓器診斷、高壓技術和工程教育學上。此外，他為本科和碩士的「高壓電力工程」專業提供全方位的專業課程，包括講座、實踐和研討會。他的實驗工作成果是基於納秒探測脈衝的新型繞組狀態控制技術。模擬是一種有用的工具，但正如希波克拉底所說：「聰明的人不是知道很多，而是他的知識是有用的。」我現在遵循這一座右銘。Alexey V. Mytnikov 已發表超過80篇科學文章。

Ikromjon U. Rakhmonov 是技術科學博士、教授及塔什干國立技術大學電力供應系主任。他的科學興趣範圍是通過預測、標準化能源消耗和監測電力消耗設備的狀態，來提高工業企業滿足能源需求的效率和可靠性。他已發表約200篇科學和教育作品，包括4本專著和48篇在SCOPUS數據庫的期刊文章。他的Hirsch指數為10（在SCOPUS數據庫中）。在IU Rakhmonov的科學指導下，2篇博士論文已成功答辯；目前有2名博士生和4名獨立研究人員正在準備他們的科學資格作品（論文）。在他的教學工作中，他已出版7本教科書、5本手冊和超過20本指導書。
