معرفی
Wah Hoon Siew is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. With over 30 years of experience, his research focuses on high voltage engineering, electromagnetic compatibility, and renewable energy systems. He contributes to international standards via roles such as UK Representative at IEC and involvement in CIGRE.
- Master of Business Administration (MBA), University of Strathclyde (1985)
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Strathclyde (1982)
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering, University of Strathclyde (1978)
His research spans lightning protection for aircraft, wind turbines, and solar systems; electromagnetic compatibility in power systems; and cable diagnostics using partial discharge and fault location techniques. Recent work explores wireless sensor networks and acoustic signal propagation in polyurethane for cable monitoring.
Recent publications emphasize renewable energy integration, with studies on partial discharge detection in DC cables and lightning attachment mechanisms for wind turbines. These align with his expertise in electromagnetic transients and system harmonics.
- CIGRE Technical Committee Award (2014)
- Proposed External Lightning Protection System for Wind Turbine Blades (2013)
He has supervised 8 research outputs and collaborated globally, including projects with Shandong University and industry partners. His work intersects with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in energy and infrastructure.
