Abstract

The major results in Russia’s power engineering of the 20th century were the design and mastering of production of practically the entire range of core power equipment with world-class technical characteristics. This made it possible not only to stop power equipment imports amid high growth rates of the country’s power industry but also to ensure its high exports and to occupy a significant position in the global market. Two decades of stagnation in the Russian power industry and the disruption of international relations have led to a notable degradation in domestic power engineering. Now, the initiated technological renovation is largely based on imported equipment. Primarily, this is the case of state-of-the-art gas turbines. The challenges encountered are analyzed, and immediate measures to provide Russia’s power industry with competitive domestic equipment that guarantees the country’s scientific and technological independence are substantiated.
