The Power Research Laboratory at Memorial University of
Newfoundland, Canada has excellent laboratory and research facilities to carry
out both theoretical and experimental research on power system analysis, power
electronics, motor drives,power system ptrotection, wind and distributed energy
systems and state-of-the art in-house research library. These facilities have
been supported by the Natural Science and Engineering Research council of
