On May 28th, 2025, Khwopa College of Engineering welcomed Prof. Dr. Petr Korba and Prof. Dr. Rafael Segundo, a distinguished researchers and academician from Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), Switzerland. Prof. Petre and Prof Rafael being the experts in the power system dynamics and control delivered a highly insightful lecture on the recent updates of power outage in Spain and Power system dynamics and control of European Grid system.  The event was designed for 3rd and 4th year Electrical Engineering students, offering them firsthand insights into global power systems. The session began with an introduction to Zurich University of Applied Sciences, highlighting its national and international collaborations and specialized laboratories across Europe. These labs allow students and researchers to collaborate, share data, and simulate real-world scenarios in a highly efficient educational ecosystem.

The session then moved on to fundamental electrical concepts, focusing on the delicate balance between generation and demand in modern power systems. It then delved into a comparative analysis between Switzerland and Nepal's power systems, highlighting their scale, structure, and operational reliability. The professors encouraged students to assess Nepal's current state and suggest strategies for modernizing and improving the national grid.

The Continental European Power System, one of the world's most complex and interconnected grids, was also discussed, emphasizing how countries operate in close coordination using advanced control mechanisms and data systems. The session also covered major historical events that shaped Europe's power system development, including blackouts, system disturbances, and policy shifts that have influenced grid regulations and security standards.

The highlight of the session was a detailed presentation on the recent blackout in Spain, where the professors shared how their team studied the event from data collection, system modelling, simulation, and technical analysis, contributing to improving grid resilience. This immersive session significantly broadened students' understanding of modern power systems on a national and international level, enhancing their technical knowledge, critical thinking, and appreciation for the complexities involved in power system stability and grid management.

The visit also included a roundtable discussion with faculty of Department of Electrical Engineering along with Prof. Dr. Raju Bhai Tyata, Coordinator, R &D Unit and Assoc. Prof. Sunil Duwal, Principal, Khwopa College of Engineering. The dialogue centered on collaborative research opportunities, probable knowledge sharing platforms and future academic partnerships between the University and Khwopa College of Engineering. The visit is a valuable step toward globalizing our academic environment. Students gained exposure to international research trends and were inspired to pursue higher studies and innovation.

In addition, both the Professors toured the college’s labs and research facilities, expressing appreciation for the institution’s growing commitment to quality education, research, and societal contribution. The event concluded with a felicitation ceremony, where Professors were presented with a token of appreciation by the Principal of Khwopa College of Engineering. This visit marks the beginning of what promises to be a fruitful academic relationship and reinforces Khwopa College’s vision of fostering global academic engagement while staying rooted in local impact.
