Surge Protection of Electric Car Charging Stations – SPECS

SPECS overall objective is the development of a highly efficient, innovative surge protection scheme, that will enhance electric car charging stations protection, leading to safer and more reliable power installations. To achieve this task novel experimental and simulation techniques will be employed, by combining high voltage and impulse currents experiments with electromagnetic transient simulations.
