Juraj Havelka

Juraj Havelka is a Full Professor and Head of the Department of High Voltage and Energy at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb. His work focuses on integrating renewable energy sources into power systems, with extensive technical studies for grid connections of solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal power plants.

Research Interests:
His expertise spans power system stability, grid protection algorithms, renewable energy integration, and smart grid technologies. Key areas include:

• Fault detection and protection in DC/AC microgrids
• Photovoltaic power forecasting using deep learning
• Grid impact assessments for large-scale renewable installations
• Power management systems for offshore and industrial applications

Technical Contributions:
He has led over 70 technical studies for connecting renewable energy plants to distribution grids, covering solar (e.g., SE Lozovac, 9999 kW), wind (e.g., Dazlina, 19.9 MW), biomass, and geothermal projects. These studies evaluate grid stability, protection settings, and compliance with IEC standards.
