Energy Systems Institute
of the SB RAS
Russia, Irkutsk
 The
Institute owes its creation to the idea of comprehensive energy study
and to Academician L.A. Melentiev, a prominent scientist in the energy
field.
The Siberian Energy Institute (SEI) was established in August, 1960
within the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
L.A.Melentiev, its first director, succeeded in attracting the best
graduates of institutes and collaborators of different organizations
from Moscow, Leningrad (St.Petersburg), Novosibirsk and Irkutsk who
formed the scientific core of the Institute. The atmosphere of
democratism, publicity and collectivism was typical of SEI from the very
beginning that was called "a spirit of SEI" later on.
In 1997 Siberian Energy Institute was renamed into Energy Systems
Institute named after L.A. Melentiev (ESI), Siberian Branch of Russian
Academy of Sciences.The Siberian Energy Institute (SEI) was established
in August, 1960 within the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of
Sciences. L.A.Melentiev, its first director, succeeded in attracting the
best graduates of institutes and collaborators of different

Irkutsk who formed the scientific core of the Institute. The atmosphere
of democratism, publicity and collectivism was typical of SEI from the
very beginning that was called "a spirit of SEI" later on.
The key task of the Institute is comprehensive studies on energy in its
broad sense and the objects of studies and applications are energy and
physico-technical systems: fuel and energy complexes of areas, regions,
country and world comprising electric power, heat-, oil- and gas-supply
systems, coal industry, nuclear energy as well as perspective energy
technologies and equipment.

The scientific activity of ESI includes the theory of creating energy
systems, complexes, plants and their management, scientific foundations
and mechanisms for realization of the energy policy of Russia and its
regions and is directed towards creation and development of the theory
and methods for systems studies on energy which are aimed at the
comprehensive analysis of energy supply systems and its component parts;
analysis of the world, national and regional trends; generation of
forecasts, priorities and strategies of development; creation of the
scientific-methodological base for optimal planning, design and
operation of these objects and their computer-aided control; provision
of their reliability and safety; creation of work stations for
researchers, designers and operators in this field, etc.
Such activity on the base of the application of advanced mathematical
methods and computers has been embedded already at creation of the
Institute by Lev A. Melentiev who always underlined"three sources and
component parts" of the systems studies on energy: the principle of
systems methodology, according to which all phenomena should be
considered in terms of the laws for the whole and interaction of its
parts; the comprehensive energy approach that was formulated in due time
by Academician G.M. Krzhizhanovsky, whose pupil L.A. Melentiev was;
practical urgency for studying energy as a combination of progressively
developing energy systems which become more and more complicated.
For the past 40 years the known scientific schools have shaped here in
the following directions:
-
Theory and methods of
systems studies in the energy sector (L.A. Melentiev, Yu.N. Rudenko,
I.P. Druzhinin, A.A. Makarov, A.P. Merenkov, L.S. Popyrin, L.S.
Belyaev, V.A. Khanaev, N.I. Voropai, A.Z. Gamm, Yu.D. Kononov, L.D.
Krivorutsky, B.G. Saneev et al.). In 1990 a group of authors headed
by Yu.N.Rudenko was awarded the prize of the Siberian Branch of
Russian Academy of Sciences.
-
Study on interrelations
between the economy and energy (L.A. Melentiev, A.S. Nekrasov, A.A.
Makarov, Yu.D. Kononov, L.S. Khrilev, V.I. Zorkaltsev, B.G. Saneev,
E.A. Medvedeva et al.). L.A. Melentiev was awarded Krzhizhanovsky
Prize Laureate twice: in 1960 and 1981 (jointly with E.O. Steinhaus).
-
Scientific and
methodological support of energy programs for Russia, its regions
and areas (Yu.N. Rudenko, A.A. Makarov, A.P. Merenkov, L.S. Belyaev,
N.I. Voropai, Yu.D. Kononov, B.G. Saneev, A.D. Sokolov, A.A.
Koshelev et al.). A group of authors headed by A.A.Koshelev was
awarded the prize of the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of
Sciences.
-
Theory and methods for
comprehensive study and control of reliability and survivability of
the fuel and energy complex and energy systems (Yu.N. Rudenko, A.P.
Merenkov, N.I. Voropai, M.B. Cheltsov, L.D. Krivorutsky, M.N.

studies and control of the energy sector; problems in creation of
interregional and international systems of fuel and energy supply.
ESI has extensive international contacts with different institutions of
the European countries and CIS, Japan, China, the USA and is in fact a
