CCPQ will assemble international power quality and power electronics experts that will instruct participants on current and future research, education and industrial issues in electric energy systems. CCPQ will serve to disseminate new ideas on Power Engineering education and also discuss new research directions for the power quality field. A secondary objective of the colloquium is to bring attention to Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the special engineering needs of the region.
The list of collaborators for CCPQ includes international and national guest speakers, local industry and government officials, University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPRM) faculty, the IEEE-Puerto Rico West Section, and the IEEE-Puerto Rico/Caribbean Section. Participants will receive continuing education credits if requested. CCPQ is primarily supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ECS 0134021.
