About ICPSOEM 2012

In spite of so many advancements in the power and energy sector over the last two decades, its survival to cater quality power with due consideration for planning, coordination, marketing, safety, stability, optimality and reliability is still believed to remain critical. Though it appears simple from the outside, yet the internal structure of large scale power systems is so complex that event management and decision making requires a formidable preliminary preparation, which gets still worsened in the presence of uncertainties and contingencies. These aspects have attracted several researchers to carryout continued research in this field and their valued contributions have been significantly helping the newcomers in understanding the evolutionary growth in this sector, starting from phenomena, tools, methodologies to strategies so as to ensure smooth, stable, safe, reliable and economic operation. This journal shall provide a new forum for dissemination of knowledge on both theoretical and applied research spreading over various fundamental and application fields of electric power systems with an ultimate aim to bridge the gap between these coherent disciplines of knowledge. This forum would accelerate interaction between the above bodies of knowledge with an aim to foster unified development in the next generation. This conference aims at bringing researchers, electrical engineers and professionals who are working in this area to deliberate on this topic. Papers will be reviewed by at least two referees each.

Suitable research topics include but are not limited to:
