Method of case hardening depth testing by using multifunctional ultrasonic testing instrument

Abstract. This article discusses the role of the post-industrial structures and the values associated with the formation of the creative class in the developed world, аnd the formation of the innovative economy. The formation of the creative class has had a decisive influence on the spread of new technical systems aimed at the response "activity" on the part of consumers, and on the organization of joint activities in their operation. Smart grids is one of the examples of such technical systems. In our analysis, we focused on identifying the correlation between the characteristics of the smart grid and the content value imperatives of the creative class, which could act as an emerging stimulus and development of such systems. We believe that the use of such technical systems in Russia is possible only as a result of the changes in the values of modern society, which are associated with the formation of the creative class.

“…the rates for hot water supply have been increased in 21 times, for heating -in 18 times) [3]. Despite the reduction of energy costs due to the smart grid introduction, both Russian and foreign authors point out that the net profit from the smart grid operating is low for households [4], [5], [6], [7,8]. The data from the previous research were used to develop the questions.…”

Abstract. The development of power industry in the world today is driven by two main trends: the search for renewable energy sources and their use and the energy efficiency which require the development of smart grids. This paper brings up the issue of staff training for professional development of the Smart Grid technology and for use of its elements by customers in households. The problem of consumer readiness for the use of smart meters was studied. It was revealed that the considerable part of the respondents was not familiar with the definition of Smart Grid. That required the development of communication skills by energy engineering students and their social activity as well. The reasons mentioned make actual the following elements of engineering education: social responsibility, stress resistance, ability to forecast the future.

“…Perhaps there exists the need for specialization within the framework of the basic educational program on the principle of "energy consultant for the population". Maybe the additional educational module is required, which includes the development and evaluation of social and managerial competences of an engineer [12,13].…”

Abstract. The article reviews the trends which define development of power engineering in the world and in Russia. The authors emphasize that establishment of smart grids is the consequence of not only technological but also social transformations of a modern society. The authors sum up that social competencies are an integral part of professional skills of engineers who work in the field of power engineering. The authors make a hypothesis that the major (educational module) "Energy consultant for the population" might develop social competencies.
