Australian Power Quality Research Centre

The Australian Power Quality Research Centre is an internationally recognised centre of excellence at the University of Wollongong, Australia. We support research, education and consulting in distribution and transmission system power quality, reliability and renewable energy systems. The Power Quality & Reliability Centre was established in 1996 as Australia's first Power Quality Centre. Since then, industry funding has continued to support the Power Quality & Reliability Centre contributing close to $6 million in sponsorship over the past 26 years. The focus of the APQRC is to work in conjunction with industry to improve the quality and reliability of electricity supply for the benefit of all consumers. This focus is achieved through education, research and consulting activities. The APQRC works closely with the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) and the Smart Infrastructure Facility (SMART) within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences (EIS) to further research in the areas of energy, sustainability, policy and infrastructure for industry, government and the community.
