HISTORY

The Department of Energy Engineering dates back to the Institutum Geometricum and to the subjects of power machines and energy plants taught by Ignác Horváth and later by Ottó Petzval. Miksa Bielek, followed by Emil Schimanek delivered lectures about heat engines for 30 years from 1904. Zoltan Komody managed the Department of Steam Engines and Refrigerators from 1946. László Heller established the Department of Energy Management in 1951 and András Lévai established the Department of Heat Engines in 1953. In 1978 they were united into the Institute of Thermal Energy and Systems Engineering, headed by Director Imre Szabó. The Department of Heat Engines was founded in 1960 and was directed by Dezső Brodszky until 1972. It was directed by Gábor Bassa until 1989 and later by Antal Penninger. The Department of Energy Engineering was established in 1992 directed by Gergely Büki and László Rádonyi from 1996. The Department of System and Control Engineering was established and directed by Imre Szabó and later by Albin Zsebik. The Department of Energy Engineering in its present form was established in 2002. It was directed by Antal Penninger until 2008 from whom this position is taken by Gyula Gróf until 2019. From 2019 to 2021, Péter Bihari and is now followed by Attila Imre.
