Research Groups

Electrical Power Engineering

Electrical power research group emphasizes all aspects of electrical energy for the simplification of technological issues as well as for the solution of societal problems pertaining to technology. The research area mainly includes electrical energy distribution and management, renewable energy and power system protection. The group is involved in optimization of smart grid, applications of telecommunication in smart grid and smart grid energy management at distribution level. Moreover, some of the group members also undertake research in grounding of power substation. The research in the area of grounding system mainly involves topology detection, fault diagnosis, and design of substation grounding grid. Recently we have started working on fault diagnosis of grounding grid by using Electrical Impedance Tomography. This work will introduce the application of electrical impedance tomography in power engineering. A number of master and PhD students are also engaged with the research group in carrying out their research. The group has a number of publications in international journals and conferences. Please feel free to browse through the faulty profiles to find out more.
