Research themes

One of our essential objectives is to support the mitigation of climate change and enable to fulfill targets of the Paris agreement. Our research activities cover technical, economic and legislative issues related to the production, grids and use of electricity.

Research in smart grids

Our research vision is to produce knowledge that will contribute towards cheaper, more widespread and sustainable power electronics used in power generation, power transmission/distribution and end-user applications.

Research in power electronics

Our main research topics are electromagnetic and electromechanical energy conversion systems and superconducting magnets. We develop electromagnetic, thermodynamic and mechanical models of materials and devices and apply these to design and analyze the behavior of such systems.

Research in electromechanics

Our main focus is on the new requirements and possibilities for high voltage insulation systems and high voltage measurement technology. We govern the only remaining independent HV laboratory in Finland, and we offer research and testing services especially for the Finnish industry.
