Description

Electricity has already become one of the major day-to-day essentials of mankind. Thus, considerable importance is given to Power Systems research at SLTC. The topics are mainly based on the practical applications and the study of theoretical/physical properties of electricity and power. In the practical scenario, studies on the generation, transmission, and distribution methodologies are conducted with the intent of uncovering new methodologies as well as improving the existing ones. On the other hand, the theoretical or physical studies focus more on the underlying concepts such as optical measurement of laboratory sparks, etc. These help in formulating new theories and concepts that would be essential in the improvement of the knowledge base in the field of power systems.
