NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING ICPE‑CA ANNUAL REPORT 2016 2016 | ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 1 2014 | ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 2 FOREWORD Dear Readers, During the year 2016, INCDIE ICPE-CA, as an institute for research, development and innovation in electrical engineering, was actively involved in leadership technologies, further targeting the priority objectives of a modern energy market based on the principles of sustainable development. In this respect, we have considered increasing the energy efficiency of technological processes while respecting the minimization of anthropogenic effects on the environment. Having a well-defined structure, this report presents the main achievements got within the year 2016, as well as the perspectives and priorities assumed for the next reporting period, with reference to: - the economic and financial situation of the institute; - the structure of the human resource for research and development; - research and development infrastructure; - measures to increase the prestige and visibility of the institute; - sources of information and documentation from the scientific and technical patrimony of the institute. Thus, in 2016 the institute has promoted numerous research projects in areas which include high technology, a vision fully in accordance with the strategic national and European research objectives. There have been promoted and undertaken applied research in national and international context in electrical engineering for the benefit of the private and public companies, under PNCDI II and PNCDI III programs or within other national and international programs, of which we ought to mention HORIZON 2020, STAR, ESA, SEE, EEA, CEA and others, but also bilateral projects with IUCN - Dubna - Russian Federation; CERN - France; IPPI - Tehran - Iran; IKP - Juelich - Germany; GSI Darmstadt - Germany; Uppsala University - Sweden; TU Poznan - Poland; CISRI - Beijing - China; Galileo Ferrari - Torino - Italy; Institute of Electrical Engineering Brno - Czech Republic; scientific associations in Hungary. Also during this year, the implementation of the contract FAIR as well as the project under the program COSME - EEN “Bisnet Transylvania - Network support and innovation for SMEs in Transylvania” continued. Data comprised in this report for the year 2016, having a well-defined structure, include ICPE-CA identification data, with a brief overview of our departments and laboratories, the management bodies, the economic and financial situation, the structure of human resources, the research and development infrastructure of the institute. There are also presented concise descriptions of the research and development activities results, the measures taken to increase our prestige and visibility in Romania and worldwide, as well as pointed out some priorities in the medium and long term. The sources of information and documentation from the institute’s scientific and technical heritage, the conclusion of the presented report and also the perspectives / priorities for the next reporting period are not missing from this report. The year 2016 was the first year in which the R-D-I facilities developed within the existing laboratories in the field of energy were capitalized by winning three POC-G projects. By the support of the research equipments which were purchased under the infrastructure projects funded under the POS-CCE Program, “PROMETEU”, Axis 2, Measure 2.2.1 2009-2015 and the facilities they offer, our research groups were involved in national and international projects whose results will hopingly determine the ICPE-CA to hold a leading position in a national ranking of research. All these accomplished achievements have contributed to ensure a research and education environment of high technical and scientific level by attracting young graduates and increasing the number of researchers - doctors of science. This was possible thanks to a responsible and sustained involvement of the three leading structures of the institute: Administration Council, Scientific Council and, not the last, Management Board. Taking into account the fact that since 28 December 2016 the Institute has appointed a new General Manager, we wish for the year 2017 the institute INCDIE ICPE-CA still remain the same promoter in the field of electrical engineering in Romania and also an important research pole at international level.
