We can\'t imagine our life without energy. No industrial area can do without it. Millions of streets, homes, and commercial buildings consume heat and electricity daily. The power engineer profession today is becoming increasingly popular and in demand, and the real specialists of their business are highly valued. One such professional is energy expert Andrey Khodykin, a specialist with twenty years of experience who managed to go from a simple engineer to an energy management manager.
Andrey Khodykin\'s name is now known in the energy world to any specialist in the field. Born in the Uzbek SSR, Andrey has loved understanding technology and learning everything about electricity since he was a child. Khodykin graduated from Tomsk Polytechnic University as an engineer and began his career as a power engineer at Schlumberger Logelco Inc. Thanks to his diligence, character, and thirst for knowledge, he proved to be a highly accomplished professional, tasked not only with designing and installing electrical grids but also with overseeing their safety and serviceability.
An expert in energy engineering, Andrey Khodykin never stood still but constantly evolved, attending seminars and advanced training courses. That\'s how Khodykin became responsible for the whole work cycle in the energy sector: from design to business management, implementing new technologies, and making essential decisions on upgrading networks. During his career, Andrey Khodykin worked in managerial positions in companies such as Weatherford, Arktikgaz, and MeKaMineft. Thanks to his experience, Andrey Khodykin has been able to participate as a key expert in developing new technologies at the international level and working on large energy projects at the federal level.
What an energy expert does benefits the energy industry and contributes to the development of production and the economy. One of the significant projects in the life of sustainable energy production manager Andrey Khodykin was the construction of a unique, the world\'s most extensive high-temperature superconducting power line with a length of 2.5 kilometers. According to Andrey, his best reward is his appreciation of his work. Today, HTSC Cable lines extending several kilometers are being developed in several countries - Russia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the EU, and the United States. Some of the most powerful cable lines are in America, such as the LIPA and Hydra projects. The study of global experience and FGC UES ROSSETI\'s own developments formed the basis of the design documentation for the cable line being built in St. Petersburg.
For his work, the top manager of the energy industry was awarded the title of Honorary Power Engineer of Moscow. By order of the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation, he received the honorary award "Honored Power Engineer of the Russian Federation. Today top manager Andrey Khodykin often speaks at industry conferences and industry forums, visits scientific exhibitions, and reviews scientific articles and new developments of young specialists. In addition, Khodykin has created a real manual on the international standard ISO 50001:2018 - a book that describes the practical application of the standard and answers many typical questions. This handbook will help the country\'s power engineers correctly apply the effective international standard ISO 50001:2018, as well as facilitate understanding of the processes and teach the subtleties and specifics of implementation at different enterprises.
