Prospective PhD students can choose from a variety of research areas, including:

  • Application of FACTS devices and HVDC systems in power systems.
  • Use of static VAR compensators to dampen generator rotor oscillations.
  • Impact of shunt compensators on resonance risks in power systems.
  • Integration of photovoltaic power plants and offshore/onshore wind farms with the power system.
  • Frequency stability in power systems with high penetration of renewable energy sources.
  • Monitoring and control of low-voltage networks.
  • Reactive power compensation in high-voltage transmission lines.
  • Methods for evaluating the effectiveness of anti-shock protection in low- and high-voltage devices.
  • Long-term current-carrying capacity challenges of power cables.
