High Voltage Lab

Investigate power components and subsystems under high voltage and high current conditions.

High voltage testing, diagnostics and experimental verifications

High voltage tests are essential for power equipment that may be exposed to high electric voltages or currents in use. These tests apply AC, DC, or impulse voltages to simulate real conditions, including lightning and other overvoltages. Our high voltage testing, modeling and diagnostics services ensure that power systems are robust, efficient, and ready to meet future energy demands. 

Investigate power components and systems under high voltage conditions

Testing

Experimental investigations on power components with respect to performance, reliability and broad band modeling. Tests are carried out on models and full size components with advanced test technologies for online and offline use. This includes diagnostic measurement systems for condition assessment of power components. 

Modeling

The exposure of components in the future power system requires far more detailed knowledge to their characteristics than the traditional 50 Hz approach suitable for load flow calculations. Broad band models have to be developed for implementation in future grid models.

Diagnostics

Reliable and optimized utilization of power grid components is dependent on their actual condition. Diagnostic tools are developed for lab testing and in service-operation under use of intelligent, digital methods and the necessary high voltage equipment. Keywords are performance analyses, real time monitoring, trend analyses and alarming under critical conditions.
