The Department's primary research activities focus on the following areas:
- Power system security and safety.
- Power system stability and control.
- Comprehensive power system modeling, including detailed modeling of individual components.
- Operation of FACTS devices and HVDC systems in power systems.
- Integration of renewable energy sources in power systems.
- Electrical installations and equipment.
- Optimization of power system structure and parameters to meet the electricity market requirements, particularly for supplying power to large urban areas.
- Methods and models for integrated energy-economy-environment (E3) analysis, utilizing the ETSAP MARKAL (MARKet ALlocation) model for long-term energy system planning at national and local levels.
- Nuclear reactors for combined electricity and heat generation (cogeneration).
