Main research activities/topics/projects

The transition towards renewable energy sources is tightly tied to the capability to transmit and dispatch energy from the production places to where it is consumed. Within this framework, underground and submarine cables for power transmission and distribution are an essential component of the global energy transition.

The proper design of these power cables must consider several different and often contrasting requirements and constraints and their accurate electromagnetic modelling is crucial. Computation of electric and magnetic losses, modelling of the electric field in the insulation material, and evaluation of the per unit length parameters are challenging tasks. The research work will contribute to the numerical implementation of new formulations that can model the involved electromagnetic phenomena.
