EDUCATION
TDK
The Department of Electric Power Engineering, and within it the High Voltage Technology and Equipment Group, strives to provide interesting, practical research topics that are useful for academic progress and supported by industrial partners. Students carrying out independent laboratory work, as well as those writing a thesis or diploma project, have the opportunity to get involved in the research work carried out by the NFCS.
Together with our group, students have produced numerous successful papers for the Scientific Students' Association Conference (TDK) over the past years. We have featured a selection of these in the lists below, grouped by placement. Investigation of the insulating capability of insulating papers used in electric vehicles 3D modeling and investigation of partial discharge patterns Mapping the degradation mechanisms of high-voltage live-line working gloves Increasing and testing the filtering capability of masks using electrospinning technology Investigation of weather forecast uncertainty in dynamic line rating Investigation of the operation of the Magnetic Pulse Compressor, with special regard to its behavior under load Possibilities for applying the wavelet transform to filter the radiated electromagnetic signals of partial discharges Investigation of the dielectric characteristics and moisture-dependent parameters of dusts in order to improve electrostatic precipitator collection efficiency The physical background and standardized testing of flashover on live-line working ropes Simulation and diagnostics of high-voltage composite insulators Development of a condition assessment system for low-voltage distribution network cables Investigation of local faults in low-voltage distribution network cables Synthetic testing of DC switching devices Diagnostic testing of overhead line fittings by contact resistance measurement New perspectives for the more detailed investigation of wind phenomena in the further development of DLR models Investigation of the productivity of electrostatic fiber-forming technology using novel feeding methods Possibilities for determining the minimum approach distance in live-line working, and their comparison Possibilities for extending dynamic line rating models Application of microgrid technology in a university dormitory Review of the laboratory testing environment for electrostatic protective clothing Fault location detection on low-voltage cables under load Analysis of physiological risks arising during high-voltage live-line working Further development of condition assessment for high-voltage overhead line fittings Breaking capacity testing of DC contactors protecting electric vehicle batteries
