Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering
The focus areas of research in power systems and high voltage engineering are distribution networks, their system solutions and reliability engineering, power system components´ load capacity and ageing, control and monitoring systems including computer applications, automation and communication solutions, end use analysis and power quality.
The strategic focus areas of teaching and research are:
- Loading, aging, diagnostics and condition monitoring of components such as lines, transformers, switchgear, generators.
- New methods for power system fault indication and location, especially utilization of fast phenomena like traveling waves, transients and partial discharges.
- Power system technology, reliability engineering, optimal planning.
- ICT-applications in power systems. Automation systems, measurements, communication, Smart Grids.
- Energy efficiency, electric vehicle charging systems, integration of distributed energy resources.
Research is performed in close collaboration with the electrical industry, utilities and authorities.
The group is led by Professor .
