High Voltage and Power Systems
High voltage research and service projects are conducted at MSU's High Voltage Laboratory. Following is a summary of the current research projects sponsored by electric utilities, TVA, and ONR.
Lightning Protection of Electrical Power Systems
improves lightning protection of transmission and distribution lines and substationsCritical Flashover Voltage of Composite Insulation
determines lightning impulse strength of composite insulation and develops method for such insulation designIntelligent Control of Power Systems
develops intelligent loadfrequency control systems that can be used in the deregulated power generation marketTransients, Harmonics, and Power Quality
considers the power system under abnormal or undesirable conditionsInhibition of Biofouling with Pulsed Acoustics
investigates environmentally compatible pulsed acoustic techniques for preventing marine organisms from fouling shipboard piping systems
