Electric Power Systems

Loadflow

Loadflow

The loadflow is the most important network computation, as it allows insight into the steady state behavior of the power system

Protection

Protection

A reliable protection is indispensable for a power system

Power carriers

Power carriers

It is an economical and an environmental issue whether to choose an overheadline or an underground cable for transmitting and distributing electrical power to densely populated areas.

Transient recovery voltages

Transient recovery voltages

A transient occurs in the power system when the system changes from one state into another, for instance after a switching action or a lightning stroke.

Blackouts

Blackouts

Major blackouts are usually caused by cascading contingencies

Circuit breakers

Circuit breakers

Circuit breakers interrupt fault currents and isolate faulted parts of the system

Hydropower

Hydropower

Hydro is nowadays a mature technology and has been developed all around the world. In countries blessed with large rivers hydro plays a major role in the generation of electrical energy.

Nuclear fission and fusion

Nuclear fission and fusion

In 1942, Enrico Fermi demonstrated the first nuclear chain reaction at the University of Chicago.
