Network - A Systems Approach for Solving Problems related to Power Quality, EMC and harmonics in Electrical installations

Training modules to help the designers of electrical installations address the lack of power quality and EMC problems will be developed by this project. The economic costs of poor power quality and EMC problems in electrical installations are hidden in operational costs, but are believed to affect the economic performance of at least 30% of companies and are the cause of increasing concern in the tertiary and industrial sectors. The partners in this project are confronted daily with the issue. The project addresses the need for systematic exchange of expertise between universities, technical colleges and SMEs in a European partnership. They will develop training tools to help decision makers 'in the field' to apply standards which are not unified in certain European countries or are not enforced because of lack of local regulations. These tools include models and practical guidelines for end users including an interactive web site with accompanying software and databases for distance learning of the subject, a trainers' forum and a module for the training of trainers with a CD ROM. The web site will be used by the partnership as a dissemination channel. NB: This project is combined with a parallel proposal to develop reference materials in the field
