What does the Centre do?
We develop software based on mathematical models of electromagnetic, mechanical, hydraulic and thermal processes in large electrical devices. Our goal is to ensure the durability, reliability and safety of these devices while minimising their dimensions, as well as production and exploitation costs.
Our research is applied in facilities with energy transformers, known as substations, which we pass by every day. Energy transformers are necessary for efficient and safe electricity transmission in the system, from where it is generated in different types of power plants – hydro, thermal, nuclear or distributed renewable energy sources – to the end consumers. The software we develop helps designers in the transformer design phase, but also operators when making decisions in crisis situations, in order to ensure the continuity of the electricity supply.
