Electric Power Engineering Department

Apart from education, activities on the Electric Power Engineering Department are:

  • Transmission, distribution and industrial systems (load flow, short circuits, transient stability, fault conditions to determine switchgear ratings, with contribution on infuction motors; motor starting studies; relay production; reliability assessment of various power network configurations)
  • Electromagnetic transients in power system (switching and lightning overvoltages; insulation co-ordination procedures; protection against lightning overvoltages; temporary overvoltages and transient recovery voltages; very fast transient caused by operation of disconnection in gas insulated systems...)
  • Economic utilization of power factor correction and design of capacitor banks in systems with voltage distortion problems
  • Electric machines and drives
  • Cathodic protection systems (pipelines tanks, pump stations in the field of water supply, gas supply, oil refinery, chemical industry, storage, etc...)
  • Electrochemistry and electrostatics
