A seminar entitled

“Advances in High Voltage Engineering”

was held in Al-Furat conference room in the Electrical Engineering Department by Dr. Aws Al-Taie on Thursday, 23rd of Jan. 2020.

    The seminar demonstrated the concept and aspects of the High Voltage Engineering, the power sector challenges, the innovative solution of Superconductors, and the advanced high voltage research and the hierarchy of the scientific research at The Center for Advanced Power Systems, Florida State University, where Dr. Al-Taie finished his Ph.D study.

    In addition, Dr. Al-Taie talked about the High voltage facilities in the Power and High Voltage Lab (PHVL) in EE Dept. University of Technology (UoT) and the ability of rehabilitating it, so it can be very useful for performing verity of experiments, conducting research work, and testing electrical power equipment.

    The workshop was attended by Head of Electrical Engineering Department, Asst. Prof. Dr. Montadher Sami Shaker, the Administrative Deputy Head of Department, the Head of the Electrical Engineering Branch and a number of EE dept. , UoT , Al‑Mansoor University College and Al‑Mamoon University College faculty members.
