Short-circuit Currents

Professor Dr-Ing Jürgen Schlabbach received his PhD in 1982 from the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. Until 1992 he worked as a Consultant Engineer with responsibility for the planning and design of public and industrial supply systems. Since 1992 he has worked at the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld, Germany as Professor for Power System Engineering and Utilisation of Renewable Energy. His main interests are power systems planning, fault analysis, power quality, interference problems and connection of renewable energy sources to power systems, and he carries out consultancy work in these fields. He is a member of the IEEE and VDI.
