The Power Systems Laboratory is part of the Energy Transmission and High Voltage Laboratory (EEH) of the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Electrical Engineering (ETH Zurich).

The main goal of our research is to develop the computational methods which ensure cost-effective planning and reliable operation of the future power grid with the overall goal to enable a sustainable energy future. This includes the modeling and optimization of the grid across time scales from seconds to hours to years in order to address the challenges of the energy transition.

In terms of teaching, we offer a joint introductory course with the High Voltage Laboratory (HVL) which gives an overview over the power system components and the modeling thereof. We further offer graduate level courses to the topics of power system analysis, power system dynamics and control, optimization in power systems as well as power markets.
