Electricity transmission and distribution research and development; developing new tools used in practical analyses and project designs
Efficient energy use research
Managing safety, reliability and stability of electric power systems using various approaches and algorithms
Electricity market research
Research on distributed energy sources and smart grids in measurement and control devices with two-way communication in electricity production, transmission, distribution and consumption
Electricity quality research
Linear, non-linear and hybrid system of automatic control research
Robotics research – design of various control and sensors systems
Optimal control and signal processing research
Automobile sub-system electronic control unit (ECU) research and development
Research on image processing and analysis for digital photography (robot vision, medical images)
Information and communications technology research
Developing ICT software solutions
Research activities are carried out through implementation of projects supported by:
Doctoral dissertations and masters’ theses research carried out in doctoral and masters’ studies
Research and development projects supported by the interested business sectors (power industry, electrical power industry, car industry, chemical industry, mines)
Projects supported by governmental and non-governmental funds for science (Ministries, SOROS, WUS)
Research and development projects supported by the EU and USA funds for science (European Commission, German/Swiss/British/Norwegian/USA government)
Results of research activities are published in relevant indexed journals (CC, SCI indexes)
(IEEE Transaction, Elsevier, Springer…), other relevant journals (WSEAS, Transactions, Energija/Energy), referent conferences and congresses (IEEE, IFAC, IASTED, WSEAS, MIPRO, CIGRE…), doctoral dissertations (55) and masters’ theses (77).
