A pioneer in renewable energy

Abstract

Materials on the work and achievements of the outstanding Russian scientist Viktor Vasilyevich Elistratov are presented. The main scientific achievements of Professor V.V. Elistratov: on the basis of his methodology for justifying parameters and under his leadership, working projects for the construction of wind power plants (WPP), solar power plants (SPP), small hydroelectric power plants (HPP), reconstruction of small HPPs, as well as power complexes of WPP-HPP, WPP-SPP, WPP-DPP for power supply to consumers in different regions of Russia, remote from centralized networks, were developed; Based on them, a new paradigm for the development of autonomous energy has been formulated - the creation of distributed generation using energy complexes based on traditional and renewable energy sources with intelligent energy distribution and storage systems.
