The Power System Department activities includes research of different phenomena related to the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical power.

The main goal of these researches is advancing of development, operation and management of modern large power systems, based on introducing of new technologies, asset management techniques and applying of power energy software solutions and advanced tools. The result should ensure reliability, quality and safety of energy flows, as well as efficient operation of networks though information management.

The Power System Department is organized into four following divisions:

The Sector of Power System Analysis includes: modeling of network and all network fundamental components under both steady-state and dynamic conditions, power flow analysis, short circuit analysis, short-term, mid/long term dynamics and stability, energy efficiency analysis in transmission, distribution and industrial networks, methods for optimizing the technical and economic performance of the system, techical and economical studies for finding optimal voltage levels and equipment characteristics in transmission and distribution networks, quality and security analysis of electric power delivery systems, development and methods and algorithms required for analyzing modern intercinnested power systems, development and aplication of experts systems and artificial inteligence in electric power system, application of advanced techiques in power systems analysis, the deregulation of energy markets and operation of systems in open new markets conditions, etc.

The Sector of Power System Development includes: analysis of characteristics of consumption and forecasting of power demand (long, medium and short terms), feasibility studies and long term system development planning, economic analysis-optimizing the quality and security improvement alternatives for a system perspective, network planning and design in the vertically integated systems, development of optimization mathods and their application in power systems design and their components, probability methods and their application in planning of development of power systems and their elements, optimal Var planning, reliability analysis of exsisting and perspective systems solutions, expansion planning of transmission and distribution systems in the deregulated enviroment.

The Sector of Power System Management and Control included: data base for power systems application, security analysis-preventive and emergency control, voltage and reactive power control managinig of power systems during and after accident regimes, optimal load flow, economic dispatching, protection adjustment, coordination of power plant operation with power system operation in a restructured and comperirive utility environment, security, monitoring and control in deregulated power systems, system frequency control, power and demand side management, etc.

The Sector of Special Services includes: strategic study of development and design of power systems, engineering comsultancy services for the design of grid, expertise, specific software for power systems analysis, etc.
