Case Study: Electrical Engineering Lab of Grenoble measures dielectric losses with Wolfram Mathematica

Electrical Engineering Lab of Grenoble - Customer Case Study

The Electrical Engineering Lab of Grenoble, a research institution, needed to quickly analyze experimental data and compare it to theoretical models for studying discharge in insulating liquids. This was a challenge for their work on high-voltage transformers. To address this, they used the vendor Wolfram's product, Mathematica.

The solution from Wolfram allowed the researchers to marry analytical calculation with numerical computation in a single code formulation. Using Mathematica, the lab developed a calorimetric device to measure dielectric losses, building continuous models from only a few data points through interpolation. This significantly simplified their problems, enabling them to effectively compare experimental results to theoretical models.
