National Aerospace University «Kharkiv Aviation Institute»

Educational Program “Gas Turbine Units and Compressor Systems”

Educational Program "Gas Turbine Power Plants and Compressor Stations" focuses on working with the "heart" of global energy and aviation. Today, an engineer in this field is a Power Systems Architect and Turbine Specialist who controls the colossal energy of compressed gas and fire. Your activity targets will be super-powerful turbines for power plants, aircraft engines, and intelligent compressor hubs that ensure the energy independence of entire countries.

The goal of study is to turn you into a "conductor of power" capable of designing and operating systems that work at supersonic speeds. We will teach you to use CFD modeling for gas flow analysis, master thermodynamic cycles, and implement digital monitoring systems that prevent accidents. This is a unique fusion of applied physics, aerodynamics, and IT. You will learn to control units whose power is measured in hundreds of megawatts, becoming a key figure in the energy sector of the future.

Your superpower: In a world in need of stable energy, you will possess Energy Engineering and Flow Dynamics — skills to create systems that transform fuel into motion with maximum efficiency. Your professional arsenal will include:

- Turbomachinery Design: designing high-efficiency turbine and compressor blades using 3D technologies.

- Smart Grid Integration: connecting gas turbine units to smart power grids to balance renewable energy sources.

- Diagnostic & Predictive Maintenance: using sensors and AI to analyze vibrations and equipment status 24/7.

- Green Energy Transition: developing systems to run on hydrogen and eco-friendly fuels, which is global trend #1.

Our graduates are lead specialists in aviation design bureaus, chief engineers at gas compressor stations, turbine developers for renewable energy, and top managers at energy-generating companies (DTEK, Siemens, GE) where the ability to control vast energy is valued.

Objects of professional activity for bachelor's graduates are gas turbine engines and power plants; centrifugal and reciprocating compressors; auxiliary station equipment, as well as mathematical modeling of working processes and maintenance of power engineering complexes.
