Curriculum vitae

Andrea Cavallini was born on 21/12/1963. On december 1990 he obtained the laurea degree in electrical engineering from the University of Bologna. From 1991 to 1994 he was a PhD student in electrical engineering at the Department of Electrical Engineering in the same University. He obtained the PhD in 1995. From 1995 to 1998 he was researcher at the Ferrara University. Since 1998 he is associate professor at the University of Bologna. He teaches the courses of "Reliability and Statistics for Electrical Systems", “Maintenance and Diagnostics of Electrical Systems”.
Andrea Cavallini works in the research fields relevant to endurance modeling and diagnostics of insulation systems. In particular, his research activity is focused, on one side, on the physics of partial discharge (PD) phenomena (physical/stochastic modeling of PD phenomena, effect of waveshape, frequency, positions of defects etc. on PD phenomena). On the other side, he is involved in research concerning PD identification in different types of apparatus (cables, rotating machines, transformers, GIS) with different types of insulation systems (polymeric, epoxy/mica, paper/oil, gas). PD source identification is carried out resorting to artificial intelligence and sognal processing techniques.
Andrea Cavallini is the Italian representative in the SC D1 (Materials and Emerging Technologies) of the Cigrè and IEEE member. He cooperated/cooperates with prof. Gian Carlo Montanari to the development of standards and technical specifications: IEC 61934 TS, Electrical measurements of partial discharges during short risetime repetitive voltage impulses (convener prof. G. C. Montanari), IEC 60034-18-41 TS, Qualification and type tests for Type I electrical insulation systems used in rotating electrical machines when fed from voltage converters, IEC 60034-18-42 TS, Qualification and acceptance tests for partial discharge resistant electrical insulation systems (Type II) used in rotating electrical machines when fed from voltage converters, IEC 60034-27 TS Offline partial discharge measurements on the stator winding insulation of rotating machines, IEC 60034 NP Online partial discharge measurements on the stator winding insulation of rotating machines. He is co-founder of the University spin-off TechImp Spa.
