The Group is engaged in the latest state-of-the-art research activities in several areas of power engineering such as power electronics, high voltage engineering, power quality & distributions systems, power systems operation and control, and electricity market deregulation.

The Group is also very active in providing power engineering courses at the under-graduate, graduate and doctoral level, and also external courses.


Advanced Training Program:

This Group was also responsible for the initiation of the Advanced Training Program (ATP). It is a program which offers professionals in the power industry the opportunity to participate in part-time on-line graduate studies in electric power engineering. It is a Career Advancement For Electric Power Engineers with a catchy slogan "Learn While You Work". For more information, click here, or the flashing link on the left bar.


High Voltage Engineering Laboratory:

The High Voltage Engineering Laboratory (HVEL) is one of the Groups most dominating areas. This section has completed numerous researches and has many facilities useful to a majority of industries. It provides services consisting of a variety of routine tests, type tests, prototype tests, and design tests of HV apparatus and dielectric materials.
