The proposed project aims at establishing power quality as catalyst for the development and renovation of power engineering research and education at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM). The proposed power quality research and education activities will prepare a new kind of power engineer, able to meet the energy challenges of the 21st century. Power quality at UPRM will link power systems, power electronics and contemporary energy issues in order to create an integrated perspective of today's electric energy systems. The multidisciplinary nature of power quality problems presents a unique opportunity to renovate power-engineering curriculum and inspire students to engage in energy systems research. Research tasks are centered on the power quality impact of power electronics in the electric system, with application to alternate energy sources. Photovoltaic (PV) systems will be chosen as a representative alternate source. Research activities include nonlinear device modeling for power quality studies; improvement and development of tools to quantify power quality events; implementation and testing of scaled PV systems including various grid-interface options; validation of models/indices using the scaled systems; consideration of interconnection issues such as the power quality impact of different grid-interface options and the interaction with other loads in the system. The establishment of a PV testing facility will support research in distributed generation and policy issues such as deregulation.

拟议项目旨在将电能质量作为波多黎各-马亚圭斯大学（UPRM）电力工程研究和教育发展和革新的催化剂。拟议的电能质量研究和教育活动将培养一种新型的电力工程师，能够满足21世纪世纪的能源挑战。UPRM的电能质量将把电力系统、电力电子和当代能源问题联系起来，以创建当今电能系统的综合视角。电能质量问题的多学科性质提供了一个独特的机会，以革新电力工程课程，并激励学生从事能源系统的研究。研究任务集中在电力电子在电力系统中的电能质量影响，并应用于替代能源。光伏系统将被选为代表性的替代能源。研究活动包括电能质量研究的非线性设备建模;改进和开发量化电能质量事件的工具;实施和测试包括各种电网接口选项在内的缩放光伏系统;使用缩放系统验证模型/指数;考虑互连问题，例如不同电网接口选项的电能质量影响以及与系统中其他负载的相互作用。建立光伏测试设施将支持分布式发电和放松管制等政策问题的研究。
