Power quality between necessity and tradition in master courses curricula of Romanian electrical engineering faculties

By D Rusinaru et al

The paper reviews the necessity for power quality study matter in curricula of university courses as a request of the employers of the future specialists in area of power delivery or/and consumption. The specific of Romanian power environment asks nowadays for a certain expertise in stating the causes of power perturbations in power grids, as well as in a valuable quantification of their effects. The mitigation methods are not efficient without correct monitoring methods and instruments. All these aspects are approached in different percentages in all electrical/power departments of master classes of traditional Romanian technical universities. An important part of the competencies achieved during these classes consists in computer assisted laboratory works, as is exemplified bellow.
