Mihailo K. Jeković was a Serbian electrical engineer and academic noted for contributions to power system protection, relay coordination, and electromagnetic transient analysis. His career spanned universities, national laboratories, and international organizations, with influence on standards and industrial practice across Europe and beyond. Jeković's work intersected with major institutions and figures in engineering, contributing to textbooks, international standards, and collaborative research projects.
Born in Belgrade, Jeković completed primary and secondary schooling in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia before entering the University of Belgrade Faculty of Electrical Engineering. He earned a Diploma Engineer degree followed by a Doctor of Technical Sciences; during postgraduate study he interacted with visiting scholars from Imperial College London, Technische Universität München, and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Early mentors included professors associated with the Institute Mihailo Pupin and colleagues from the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. He undertook advanced coursework and research exchanges at Imperial College London, collaborating with researchers linked to the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Royal Society network.
Jeković held academic appointments at the University of Belgrade where he progressed from assistant to full professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, supervising doctoral candidates and leading research groups. He served as a senior researcher at the Institute Mihailo Pupin and participated in joint programs with the International Electrotechnical Commission and the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy. He was active in professional societies including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRÉ), and the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC).
His industrial consultancy work involved utilities and manufacturers such as Elektroprivreda Srbije, Siemens, ABB Group, and Schneider Electric, advising on protection schemes, substation design, and system stability. Jeković contributed to multinational consortia with partners from CERN, Fraunhofer Society, and the European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies on grid integration research. He served on advisory panels for national ministries and participated in standardization committees of the International Electrotechnical Commission and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization.
Jeković's research focused on relay coordination algorithms, transformer and generator protection, and computational modelling of electromagnetic transients. He published in journals and conference proceedings associated with IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, CIGRÉ Science & Engineering, and proceedings of the Power Systems Computation Conference. His monographs and textbooks addressed protection engineering and system dynamics, used by students and practitioners across institutions such as the University of Oxford, Politecnico di Milano, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He developed analytical methods that informed protection settings for large interconnected networks, citing prior work by pioneers at Westinghouse Electric Company, General Electric, and researchers from Princeton University and ETH Zurich. Jeković contributed chapters to edited volumes alongside authors from Delft University of Technology and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His work on simulation combined proprietary and open platforms, integrating models compatible with tools popular at Siemens Energy research centers and academic groups at NTNU and Politehnica University of Bucharest.
Jeković participated in international conferences including the IEEE PES General Meeting, CIGRÉ Paris Session, and the IFAC World Congress, presenting case studies drawn from projects with Elektroprivreda Bosne i Hercegovine and transmission operators like TRANSELECTRICA. His publications influenced practical guidebooks used by transmission system operators and manufacturers for relay coordination, fault analysis, and protection testing.
Jeković received national recognition from institutions such as the Serbian Chamber of Engineers and the Ministry of Science and Technological Development (Serbia), and international acknowledgement from the IEEE Power & Energy Society and CIGRÉ. He was awarded medals and honorary memberships by engineering academies, including the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and regional technical societies in the Balkans. His appointments included editorial roles for journals affiliated with IEEE and committee positions within CIGRÉ Study Committees, reflecting peer recognition for his technical leadership.
Outside professional activities, Jeković engaged with cultural institutions in Belgrade and supported initiatives connected to the Mihajlo Pupin Institute legacy and local museums. He mentored generations of engineers who later held positions at organizations such as Elektroprivreda Srbije, Siemens, ABB Group, and academic posts at University of Belgrade and other European universities. His legacy persists through curricula, standards contributions at IEC and CEN, and through the continuing citation of his textbooks and papers at conferences including IEEE PES General Meeting and CIGRÉ Paris Session. He is remembered in obituaries and commemorative sessions hosted by professional societies including IEEE and CIGRÉ.
