Elektrichestvo

Elektrichestvo (Russian: Электричество, meaning "Electricity") is one of the oldest Russian technical, theoretical and scientific-practical journals, and one of the first specialized electrical engineering periodicals. It was founded in 1880 on the initiative of prominent Russian electrical engineering scientists P. N. Yablochkov, V. N. Chikolev (one of its main editors), D. A. Lachinov and A. N. Lodygin, who were united in the VI (Electrical Engineering) Department of the Imperial Russian Technical Society. The first editor was Major General A. I. Smirnov. It was published from 1881 in Saint Petersburg, and from 1922 in Moscow. Publication has continued to the present day, with interruptions from 1918 to 1921 and from 1941 to 1943. The journal's scope has evolved with the development of electrical engineering and power engineering, and with the emergence of new scientific directions in these fields. In its first issue, its goals were defined as the development of various questions relating to electrical engineering and the dissemination of necessary information both on the theory of electricity and on its application in science and everyday life, reporting the latest inventions in the field at home and abroad, and following electrical literature with reviews of important works. Today the journal covers theoretical foundations of electrical engineering; in power engineering, equipment for power plants, study of power system operating modes, relay protection, and high-voltage technology including lightning protection; and in electrical engineering, the design and study of electrical machines including those with superconducting windings, micromachines, electrical apparatus and transformers, development of various types of converters for controlling electric drives and technological processes, and the creation of new types of materials for use in electrical devices, machines and apparatus. It also publishes articles on developments and industrial tests in thermal power engineering and the creation of new types of transformer and reactor equipment, considers issues of economy and evaluation of the efficiency of combined generation of electrical and thermal energy, and reports news of electrical and power engineering companies. Space is devoted to historical materials on anniversaries of major events in electrical engineering and on outstanding Russian and foreign scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs who contributed significantly to world and domestic electrical engineering. In the USSR, the journal was a printed organ of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the State Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers for Science and Technology, and the Central Board of the Scientific and Technical Society of Power Engineering and the Electrical Engineering Industry. Its current founders are registered as the Russian Academy of Sciences (Department of Energy, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics and Control Processes) and the Russian Scientific and Theoretical Society of Power Engineers and Electrical Engineers. The journal is published monthly with a volume of 72 pages. Its editorial board consists of five sections: theoretical foundations of electrical engineering, converter technology and electrical engineering materials (chaired by P. A. Butyrin, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow Power Engineering Institute); power engineering (chaired by V. A. Stroev, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor); high-voltage technology, electrical apparatus and transformers (chaired by G. S. Belkin, Doctor of Technical Sciences); electrical machines (chaired by V. Ya. Bespalov, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor); and electric drive and automation of technological processes (chaired by A. B. Krasovsky, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor). In 1978 its circulation was about 19,000 copies.

Publication was interrupted from 1918 to 1921 and again from 1941 to 1943. From 1922 it was published in Moscow. In the USSR, the journal was a printed organ of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the State Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers for Science and Technology, and the Central Board of the Scientific and Technical Society of Power Engineering and the Electrical Engineering Industry. Its subject matter changed with the development of electrical engineering and power engineering, the emergence of new scientific directions in these fields, and in accordance with the tasks facing science and technology at different stages of the country's history. In 1978 its circulation was about 19,000 copies. Currently the journal is registered with the Russian Academy of Sciences (Department of Energy, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics and Control Processes) and the Russian Scientific and Theoretical Society of Power Engineers and Electrical Engineers as its founders. It is published monthly with a volume of 72 pages. The editorial board consists of five sections covering theoretical foundations of electrical engineering, converter technology and electrical engineering materials; power engineering; high-voltage technology, electrical apparatus and transformers; electrical machines; and electric drive and automation of technological processes.
