PSM Lab: EMI, Earthing & Corrosion - UCY

The Power System Modelling (PSM) Laboratory operates under the auspices of the ECE department of the University of Cyprus. It has been formally established in 2013 and its primary expertise lies in the area of Electrical Control and Analysis of DC/AC Interference & Corrosion. PSM (EMI, Earthing and Corrosion) lab has gained a world-wide recognition in this area by publishing research results in top quality research journals and by providing modelling solutions and evaluation tools for a number of sound projects across the world. Some examples of these projects include the: a) DC Stray Current Corrosion Design for Thessaloniki’s New Metro System - Greece (2014), b) AC/DC Interference Analysis and Mitigation Design for Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) section Kavala – Albania (2016) and c) DC Stray Current Corrosion Analysis of a Tram-Train Project between Sheffield and Rotherham (UK). By virtue of its research activities and expert knowledge, PSM maintains close collaboration with industry and has secured industrial funding in the order of 0.5 million in the last couple of years. In particular, PSM lab has collaborated and maintains close collaboration links with Intertek, Network Rail UK, National Grid UK, Alstom Grid UK, Ansaldo (IT), J&P (GR), Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) operator, ELEMKO, SA (GR), Distribution System Operator of Cyprus and the Electricity Authority of Cyprus.
