Primary goal:

The aim of the project is to develop and demonstrate tools for the evaluation of land-based and offshore power systems in order to ensure increased reliability of the supply and minimize the risk for failures due to unexpected interactions. This will be achieved with the development of computational models of grid components for assessing transient voltages and currents in power grids.

---

Secondary objectives:

1. Assessment of trends in power systems related to new network topologies and component technologies. 

   ---

2. Development of wide-band component models and modeling procedures for power grids components: transformers, cables, circuit breakers, and instrument transformers. These models should be ready to work out-of-the box, allowing for wide-spread application by non-expert users. 

   ---

3. Demonstration of how such models can be applied for determination of transients in future power systems. Overvoltage levels, currents, protective relaying, penetration of harmonics.
