AMPS 2012 - 2012 IEEE International Workshop on Applied Measurements for Power Systems (AMPS)

The workshop has the main goal of highlighting measurement issues in modern electric power systems and encouraging discussion among experts coming from academia, industry and utilities. The continuous evolution of measurement applications in power networks requires the development of more performing measurement systems along with the definition of new procedures to ensure the quality of data. AMPS is expected to represent a qualified forum for providing contributions to the advancement of knowledge on these topics.
This Workshop will focus on all the aspects related to sensors and measurements in the field of power networks and power systems, to find a pondered, physically and mathematically sound answer to the challenges of the future Power Grid.
Main topics include, but are not limited to:
Sensors for protection relays and for special applications in power systems
Nonconventional current and voltage sensors
New generation of revenue metering
Reliability of measurement apparatus for control and management of power networks
Measurement systems for diagnostic purposes
Definition and measurement of Power Quality indices
Development of coordinated proposals for new Standards
Distributed measurement systems
Certification issues of nonconventional measurement systems and apparatus
