Abstract :
The deep inroads made by computers into all aspects of electrical power systems are making greater demands on the power education curriculum. It is suggested that exposure to fourth-generation languages would enhance a student´s programming capabilities. Features of fourth-generation languages in the context of power system software development are described. Ways of introducing the fourth-generation languages in power engineering education are outlined. A specific example of distribution system analysis software is presented
