The research unit carries out research in the areas of generation, distribution and final utilization in electrical power systems.
The activity is carried out both at national level in collaboration with some other Italian Universities and at international level with the University of Canterbury (NZ), the University of Edinburgh (UK), the University of Brno (CZ), the University of Dresden (DE) and with the University of Jaen (ES).
Concerning the collaboration with industry and regulatory bodies, the research unit has and has had scientific collaborations with Terna, Enel, Hitachi rail, CIRA (Italian Aerospace Research Center), Airbus and with the IEEE PES Task Forces, the Working Group of the UIE and the CIGRE on Power Quality.
The research unit operates proposing definitions, probabilistic models, algorithms and measurement and control techniques.
Specific field of interest are:
- Power Quality and reliability of electrical power systems;
- Smart Grids for the integration of distributed generation from renewable sources in electrical networks;
- Study of new power electronic converters and their control strategies.
