Department of power engineering

In addition to educational activities, the Department of power engineering has additional activities in the areas of: Transmission, distribution and industrial systems (power flows, short circuits, transient stability, fault currents as elements for dimensioning the parameters of switchgear with the influence of induction motors; motor start-up studies; relay protection; reliability analysis of different network configurations) Electromagnetic transients in the power system (circuit and atmospheric overvoltages; insulation coordination procedures; protection against atmospheric overvoltages; instantaneous overvoltages and transient recovery voltages; very fast transients caused by disconnection in gas-insulated systems...); Economic use of power factor correction and calculation of capacitor banks in systems with voltage distortion problems; Electrical machines and devices Cathodic protection systems (pipeline reservoirs, pumping stations in water supply, gas supply, oil refineries and chemical industry, warehouses, etc.) Electrochemistry and electrostatics
