In the context of the electricity crisis, measures are needed to reduce energy consumption. The case study was conducted on the lighting system at a university sports hall. To determine the efficiency and quality, the lighting systems and technical characteristics of the sources used were identified, lighting level measurements were made, the luminotechnical coefficients and the power of the whole lighting system were calculated and the results were compared to the values set out in the standards. Following analysis, the lighting system was found not to meet the quality requirements and was energy inefficient. For financial efficiency, only the replacement of lighting was sought, keeping the same equipment and granting the same facilities to the building users. Some lighting source options were analyzed and the option to have the highest luminous efficacy and the highest energy class was chosen. The analysis shows that the investment is amortized within a maximum of 17 months. The innovative aspect is based on linking the measurements with the determination of power and the proposal of modernization solutions, which shows the need for investments to ensure the quality of the system and the increase in energy efficiency.

The scientific objective of this study is to demonstrate how a hybrid photovoltaic-grid-generator microsystem responds under transient regime to varying loads and grid disconnection/reconnection. The object of the research was realized by acquiring the electrical magnitudes from the three PV systems (25 kW, 40 kW, and 60 kW) connected to the grid and the consumer (on-grid), during the technological process where the load fluctuated uncontrollably. Similar recordings were also made for the transient regime caused by the grid disconnection, diesel generator activation (450 kVA), its synchronization with PV systems, power supply to receivers, and grid voltage restoration after diesel generator shutdown. Analysis of the data focused on power supply continuity, voltage stability, and frequency variations. Findings indicated that on-grid photovoltaic systems had a 7.9% maximum voltage deviation from the standard value (230 V) and a frequency variation within ±1%. In the transient period caused by the grid disconnection and reconnection, a brief period with supply interruption was noted. This study contributes to the understanding of hybrid system behavior during transient regimes.

With technological development and the decrease in the price of electrical appliances for domestic consumers, combined with users’ desire for a certain level of comfort, the number of electrical devices in homes has increased. Although current equipment is largely energy-efficient, the high number of these devices, used simultaneously, has led to an increase in electricity consumption. Electrical installation in homes has been replaced in most cases, but the connections have remained the same, without any checks being carried out in terms of load and operational safety. This paper presents an exploratory case study based on a questionnaire answered by 678 individuals from Romania. The objectives of the questionnaire were to identify the characteristics of the domestic consumer and their opinion on the state of the installation, energy costs, and energy consumption. Based on the analysis, 74.15% of the respondents stated that the power installed in their homes as domestic consumers increased. Based on the analysis conducted on-site, the risk of fire outbreaks in the power supply columns of apartment buildings was identified. To avoid critical situations, it is necessary to periodically check the connection and supply columns so that they are functional and safe to operate.

Studying public administration offers students a diverse range of opportunities to create a significant influence in different sectors of society. Public administration, being an interdisciplinary and applied area, plays a crucial role in advancing and embodying of extracurricular activities, offering a valuable array of practical instruments. This article focuses on a narrative approch of the role of extracurricular activities in training human resources from public administration.

Management accounting holds a position of utmost significance within the public sector due to its important role in enhancing decision-making processes by providing tailored financial information that meets the specific needs of public entities. This financial data serves a valuable purpose in predicting future outcomes, logically structuring resources, conducting in-depth analyses, making prompt decisions, and ensuring consistent monitoring, all aimed at attaining the highest levels of production efficiency.

Good governance and sustainable development are key to consolidating a sustainable and efficient future. Based on the challenges they have faced over time, both the European Union and the UN have implemented the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, hoping for a full integration of the proposed objectives into public policy. This study has a theoretical approach focusing on the gradual historical evolution of these two concepts underlying once more their importance for the new social reality.
