Wenikov, the son of an engineer , graduated from the Moscow Energy Institute (MEI) in 1936.
In 1937, Wenikov became an aspirant of Pyotr Sergejewitsch Schdanow in the Energetic Institute (ENIN) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)) led by Gleb Maximilianowitsch Krschischanowski . 1941 defended Wenikow his candidate dissertation on the physical modeling of electro-energy systems.
From 1941 Wenikow worked as a research assistant at the MEI. He became an assistant, lecturer , professor , dean of the electro-energetic faculty and scientific deputy director of the MEI. During the German-Soviet war he worked on improving the electrical energy systems of military aircraft . In 1952 he defended his doctoral thesis for a doctorate in technical sciences. From 1955 he headed the chair for electrical systems.
Wenikow's main research areas were the modeling of powerful electrical systems, the transmission of energy over extremely long distances, the stability of electrical energy systems and the methods of automating the regulation of such systems. Wenikow supervised about 150 doctoral and candidate dissertations by Soviet authors and 19 dissertations by foreign authors.
