Aims to provide knowledge on the tasks, their technical content and on projects already setup or to be set up for clean electric energy systems implementation. It shall fit for an overview as well as for deeper technical and project related information. As time proceeds and more and more RES and power electronic based systems are installed the complexity of interacting components and subsystems grows. The requirements on education and training of the work force managing the transformation and to avoid such events as the outage on April 28, 2025 in Spain and Portugal are accordingly high.

The site shall incite students' interest for studies in modern electric power systems. It provides ideas, material and tools for thesis work complementing curriculae, for continuing in depth studies or alternatively to join a company for further on the job development. This is not a comprehensive treatise of the subject matter, neither a scientific complete treatment nor a complete depiction of all facets of electric power systems engineering. Instead it is a collection of items dealt with on the path the authors have gone in their individual occupations in industry and academia spanning over decades and continents in learning, industry work and teaching.

Modern electric power systems comprise increasingly renewable energy resources and power semiconductor based installations for generation, transmission and distribution. Such installations are in essence not new but are now through technological advances the lever for the new energy age. These systems complement AC systems and enable the realisation of completely new ideas. They evolved gradually since about 60 years, mainly for DC power transmission. They are mature and now seen as one key for the societies energy demand coverage.

Essential systems are: 

HVDC TRANSMISSION (VSC HVDC and Classic HVDC), FACTS (FLEXIBLE AC TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS) and Inverter Based Generation (IBG) as from photo voltaic installations, wind mills and batteries. They enable us to use and optimize renewable energy resources. These components and systems must obtain a grid conform behavior through controls. This differs from classic equipment and systems containing rotating synchronous machines. In Europe where the electric power grid relies on power exchange over distances as large as the continent itself multi-thousands components and subsystems must provide an AC systems compatible behaviour in steady state and dynamically. This makes the technical dimension of the transformation endavour clear.

To build such systems we need expertise on all relevant levels, sufficiently trained, vocationally and academically, practical as well as theory oriented - and a path for those who would like and can excel in advanced studies and work.
