Marek Wancerz is a graduate of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Lublin University of Technology, specialising in power systems. In 1990, he took up a position as an assistant in the Department of Power Engineering, and since 1992 he has been working in the Department of Electrical Networks and Protections.
His scientific interests focus on the following issues: modelling of power systems, analysis of the operation of various generation sources and their impact on the operation of the power system, design and selection of power system protection automation, studies on the stability of power system operation, security of power system operation, and power quality.
He is the author and co-author of 47 domestic and international publications on this subject, as well as many scientific and research works for industry and institutions related to the power sector. In 1998, he received an Internal Grant entitled: Selected problems of the analysis of power system dynamics and stability in the aspect of the use of the Matlab package. In the same year, he was the head of a KBN grant entitled Assessment of the impact of high-voltage direct current transmission systems (HVDC) on the stability of the power system.
In June 1999, he obtained the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Lublin University of Technology. From the beginning of his teaching activity, he has sought to implement modern forms of information transfer. He has extensive experience in conducting various forms of teaching classes (lectures, classes, laboratory classes, seminars).
He computerised the Department’s Protection and Power System Automation Laboratory, combining modern protection technology with the latest achievements in computer science, thereby improving the teaching process. He is the author of many laboratory stations in which modern power protections are used, cooperating with computers of various classes. He also introduces modern measuring and recording devices into the teaching process.
He completed numerous scientific and teaching internships in Poland and abroad, including in Glasgow (Scotland), Durham (United Kingdom), and Darmstadt (Germany). He participated in the implementation of the TEMPUS project in the field of teaching, as well as two KBN grants in the years 1997–1998. He took part in the implementation of the COST project Technical Advantages and Economical Benefit of DC Links and Couples. He was a member of the team implementing the KBN project entitled The use of object-oriented analysis techniques and object-oriented programming for the implementation of methods and algorithms of power system state analysis.
He participated in numerous scientific conferences in Poland and abroad. He supervised many master’s and engineering diploma theses. He took part in the work on preparing the Power Quality Laboratory and is the co-author of many works for industry and grid-connection expert studies related, among others, to the assessment of power supply quality.
He was a co-organiser of many scientific conferences and thematic symposia, as well as of the National Convention of Deans of Faculties of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunications and Computer Science, Lublin–Lviv 2010. He is a member of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers and of the Lublin Branch of the Polish Society for Theoretical and Applied Electrical Engineering. As part of his official duties, in 1992 he served as Secretary of the Faculty Recruitment Committee and participates in its work every year.
He carried out a thorough computerisation of the Committee’s work, thereby improving the recruitment process. In the years 2000–2010, he was a member of the Library Council of Lublin University of Technology. In the years 2005–2012 (two terms), he served as Vice-Dean for Student Affairs at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He participated in the National Conventions of Deans of Faculties of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunications and Computer Science.
He developed the principles for modernising the teaching process and was the creator of new curricula for first- and second-cycle full-time and part-time studies. He was the author of the proposal and the coordinator of the project: Ordering education in technical, mathematical and natural sciences programmes – pilot scheme. Within this project, he developed the curriculum for the specialisation: Application of Information Technologies in Electrical Engineering. He participates in the work of the Senate Committee for the Quality of Education.
