Introduction. The increase in the number and installed capacity of loads with nonlinear and unbalanced characteristics in modern power supply systems leads to deterioration in power quality and additional power losses. In this article, the authors address the pertinent task of distributing single-phase loads within the electrical system of an office building to assess the total share of additional losses resulting from asymmetry and non-sinusoidal waveforms in the overall structure of losses in the 0.4 kV distribution network.
Goal. The study aims to develop a technique based on an algorithm for optimal distribution of singlephase loads over phases L1, L2, and L3 of the power supply system during their dynamic operation using a genetic algorithm to minimize additional losses in electrical equipment caused by asymmetry and non-sinusoidal waveforms.
Materials and methods. A digital parameter meter for single-phase electrical receivers has been developed to collect initial data from office electrical receivers in the form of arrays with instantaneous values of supply voltage and current. In the developed algorithm, the target function utilizes exponential loss values in the unbalanced mode over losses in the balanced mode, as well as additional losses due to higher harmonic components.
Results and discussion. The results of the assessment of additional losses calculated using the proposed methodology are presented for the optimal distribution of single-phase loads in an office building, taking into account their operational modes throughout the working day. The efficiency of the developed methodology application at the stage of power supply systems design with the traditionally used approach has been estimated by comparing the values of additional power losses during the distribution of single-phase electric consumers in static mode (39,9 % more efficient) and in dynamic mode (77,1 % more efficient).
Conclusion. The developed methodology enabled the creation of a fundamentally new technical solution that can be implemented in both existing and newly designed power supply systems, allowing for minimization of losses in electrical equipment by reducing additional losses caused by asymmetry and non-sinusoidality.

Introduction. Currently, in Russia, the fundamental ideas of career guidance for the younger generation are embedded in a single model of professional orientation. According to this model, career guidance is built into a system based on general education organizations for students in grades 6-11 and is aimed at forming their readiness for a conscious choice of a future profession – professional self-determination.
Goal. Highlighting current trends in working with schoolchildren to form their readiness for professional self-determination and identifying possible difficulties along the way.
Materials and methods. The research is based on the analysis and pedagogical interpretation of modern scientific research that highlights the issues of career guidance for students in general education institutions and the current regulatory documents governing this process. The implementation of a set of diagnostic techniques made it possible to identify a number of problems related to professional self-determination among ninth graders. The empirical study covered students of the 9th non-core grade of a secondary school, as they had not been able to determine their education profile earlier.
Results and discussion. In the course of the work, it was found that many schoolchildren experience uncertainty in choosing a profession. Significant gaps in students’ knowledge of the basic concepts of professional activity have been identified. The predominance of social and material factors creates conflicts and difficulties for adolescents in making a final decision about choosing a profession. The lack of a profile orientation among students suggests that they have the least concrete ideas about their future professional path. The results of an empirical study conducted among ninth graders of secondary schools provide the basis for the following conclusions. A significant part of the respondents are in a state of “crisis of choice” for their future profession. The data obtained during diagnostic procedures give grounds to draw conclusions about the presence of specific difficulties in adolescents in the process of their professional self-determination.
Conclusion. The author substantiates and points out the need to continue purposeful work on the formation of professional identity among schoolchildren, taking into account the difficulties identified among schoolchildren.
