Electrical Power Engineering

The Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) Research Group is part of the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton. Our expertise ranges from nanoscale insulation materials and plasma, through to electrical power systems and sustainable energy generation: from nanometres to megavolts.
Centre for Flexible Electronics and E-Textiles (C-FLEET)

The Centre for Flexible Electronics and E-Textiles (C-FLEET) is a centre of expertise for flexible smart materials, printed electronics and electronic textile technologies. We work with industry, policy makers, and the general public to address both national and global challenges.
Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory

We are a world-leading research centre for dielectric materials, insulation systems, high voltage phenomena and renewables integration that innovates the way forward towards a sustainable electric grid.
