PEC invites applications for its 'Recent Advances in Power' programme

PEC University of Technology (PECUT) invites applications for its short term programme on 'Recent Advances in Power Systems' for the academic year 2014. The present scenario of power systems is advancing towards the most efficient, most economic and smart power systems. India being a developing country is encountering complex problems in power systems such as insufficient generation, system compensation, system dynamics, high T and D losses, poor power quality, system restructuring, capital loss and consumer's dissatisfaction. However, the advances in technology have given better prospective in power system, which may meet the higher degree of consumers' satisfaction with higher capital gains. Students can apply online by logging on to the official website of PECUT.

This programme is run by the Department of Electrical Engineering of PECUT. The Department of Electrical Engineering of PEC University of Technology (Formerly Punjab Engineering College), Chandigarh with its rich historical background of 90 years was originally established on November 9, 1921. Subsequently, P G Programme in power system was added to the department of Electrical Engineering from 1957. The Department of Electrical Engineering at PEC is recognised among the leading centers of teaching and research in Electrical Engineering in India.

The course on Recent Advances on Power Systems (RAPS - 2014) is being organised to bring researchers, power equipment designers, field engineers, academia, industrialist, state power departments, power sectors and consultants on a common platform for interaction in the field of problems, practices and prospects in power systems.
