FOREWORD

The 6^th International Conference on Modern Power Systems will be held on Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from 18th to 21st of May 2015. The main purpose of the Conference is to throw a bridge between recent advances of research on modern power systems. Therefore, beside classical sessions on the progress of the theoretical research, an important accent will be paid on the industrial applications and solutions.

The municipality of Cluj-Napoca – an ancient centre of Romanian culture and civilisation – is one of the largest cities of Romania and it is called metaphorically “The Heart of Transylvania” due to its bi-millennial history and its cultural significance. Situated at the crossing of the Apuseni Mountains with the Transylvanian Plateau and Plain, along one of the main communication roads which once linked Western Europe to the East and South of the continent, the settlement has attracted people who have created genuine ever-lasting values, thus defining its identity. These landmarks can be noticed everywhere in its art and architectural edifices and monuments, in museums, institutions of public, educational, cultural concern, in its entire urban dimension.
