CWPS 2012 - 1st Workshop on Communications within power substations
Topics/Call fo Papers
The 1st Workshop on Communications within power substations is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia, industry and governments.
Any potential realization of a smart grid also depends crucially on a utility’s ability to better monitor and manage its power system. Remote surveillance, management and control also require utilities to improve the IT overlay on top of their transmission and distribution systems. In many areas, communication needs and technologies are well understood and mastered by utilities (e.g., in parallel with long transmission lines); however, the substation yard remains one of the most difficult environments to deploy IT systems; the peculiar electromagnetic environment (partial discharges, switching activity) and durability/security requirements specific to power grid implementations still pose challenges, and additional research is needed to (i) fully characterize the electromagnetic environment for communications (ii) design (wired and wireless) communication systems that are adapted to this environment and (iii) deploy real communications systems.
The workshop is now accepting paper submissions through EDAS (6-page 2-column final papers confrming to IEEE style) in all areas of communications within power substations, including, but not limited to:
Measurement, characterization and modeling of electromagnetic noise in power substations
Practical deployments and test of communications systems within substations
Power Line Communications within substations
Modulation, Coding and receiver design for impulsive noise
Regulatory and standardization issues
