**Technische Universität Dresden** - **Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Institute of Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering, Chair of Electrical Power Supply within the Power Quality research group**:
TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.
- For many years, the Chair of Electrical Power Supply at the Institute of Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering (IEEH) works on public funded projects as well as joint research projects with industry partners and network operators in the areas of selective protection, power quality, smart grids, instrument transformers as well as grid planning and operation. The Power Quality research group is led by Prof. Dr.Ing. habil. Jan Meyer and has more than 40 years of experience on the measurement, analysis and evaluation of power quality disturbances in low, medium and high voltage networks. Major topics are conducted low and higher frequency distortion (i.e. harmonics and supraharmonics) in distribution and transmission networks, design aspects of large measurement campaigns including big data analysis, as well as accuracy verification of instrument transformers and Power Quality monitoring instruments. The research group counts at the moment with 8 scientific researchers and works on different projects funded by government, network operators and industry, publishes regular papers at conferences and in journals and has a close collaboration with other universities all over the world.
