  • Energy storage for Smart grids

    Energy storage systems (ESS) are needed in the grid both at the consumer level and at grid level. There uses are many and include facilitation of the introduction of renewable energy sources (that are inherently random) such as wind power, for load leveling and energy demand management, for improving power quality, for financial incitement and more. Different types of ESS have widely different characteristics and are suitable for different tasks and situations.

  • QED Asset Management group (former RCAM-group)

    The research within the Quantitative Evidence Driven Asset management Group develops models and methods for electric power systems within the area of asset management. One example is relating maintenance effort to system availability and total cost, another example is condition assessment for the best utilization of power equipment.

  • Electrotechnical modelling

    This research area comprises development of theory, methods and tools for electric power components including magnetic and other materials. The governing approach is to model material related electrotechnical phenomena and processes by use of Maxwell’s equations and material algorithms in a system perspective.

  • High Voltage Engineering and Insulation Diagnostics

    The integrity of the electrical insulation is of greatest importance in the reliability of high voltage equipment. Failure of the insulation system may cause an interruption of service, or in worst case a complete damage of the equipment with a costly replacement.
