Special Session on

Evolutionary Computation for Hydro-Electric Power Systems Optimization

In conjunction with

2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence Applications in Smart Grid (CIASG

2013) & 2013 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI)

http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/epnsugan/index_files/SSCI2013/index.html

April 15- 19, 2013 (Singapore)



This special session will attempt to bring together researchers and practitioners to a common platform and will create a forum to discuss the latest development in hydro-electric power systems optimization. Contributions related, but not limited, to the applications of evolutionary computing algorithms like genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, differential evolution, etc in the following topics of hydro-electric power systems are welcome:

Reservoir system optimization
Hydro-energy storage
Hydro-thermal scheduling
Hydro-power system planning
Hydro-power system control
Hydro-power plant control
Hydro-power system protection including generator and transmission lines protection
Hybrid energy systems like hydro-wind, hydro-solar, etc
Networked control of electric generators
Hydro-power system automation
Distributed generation application
Reactive power compensation

Submission guidelines

Papers are invited from prospective authors with interests in this particular special session and related areas of applications. All contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review period. Details of the required paper format are published at the official SSCI 2013 website: http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/epnsugan/index_files/SSCI2013/index.html


To submit a paper to this session, please select "04s2" as the main research topic.


Publications:

The conference proceedings of the IEEE SSCI have always been included in the IEEE Xplore and indexed by all other important databases. For example, the proceedings of the IEEE SSCI 2011 (held in Paris) have already been included in the IEEE Xplore and indexed by databases such as EI, SCOPUS, etc.


Travel grants:

The IEEE CIS will offer a limited number of travel grants for Students and travel grants for Researchers from Developing Countries who are presenting a paper at an IEEE CIS-sponsored conference. Applicants must have both IEEE and IEEE CIS memberships and their submissions must have received overall good reviews. More information is available from the travel grants webpage.
