Advances in High Voltage Engineering

Dr A. Haddad obtained the degree of Ingenieur d'Etat in Electrical Engineering, followed by a Ph.D. in High Voltage Engineering in 1990. In 1995 he was appointed as a Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer in electrical engineering at Cardiff University, with responsibility for the High Voltage Research Group and lecturing duties in high voltage engineering, power systems, electromagnetics and electrical circuits.


Doug Warne graduated from Imperial College with an apprenticeship at AEI Heavy Plant Division in Rugby. At the Electrical Research Association he took responsibility for the short-circuit testing station and the HV laboratory, and also the development and management of ERA's wind energy research. Since 1990 Doug has acted as an independent consultant. He also runs the independent NETCORDE syndicate for better industry-university collaboration in electrical engineering and he co-ordinates the ESR (Electricity Supply Research) Network.
