SDEMPED 2011 - 2011 8th IEEE International Symposium on Diagnostics for Electric Machines, Power Electronics and Drives - (SDEMPED 2011)

The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for presentation
and discussion of the state-of-the-art of diagnostics and monitoring for
electrical machines, power electronics, adjustable speed drives and
related areas. Topics within the scope of the symposium are:
1. ELECTRICAL MACHINES: Failure detection and location in electrical machines using
vibration, audible noise, electrical or mechanical variables, sensors, insulation
failures, electrical, mechanical and thermal models
2. POWER ELECTRONICS: Diagnostics in power converters using input-output
monitoring, thermal and/or electrical measurements on power semiconductors,
control supervision, signal processing
3. ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES: Monitoring and diagnostics for ASDs using electrical
machines, power converters and control systems supervision, computer-based signal
processing and data analysis
4. TOOLS FOR DIAGNOSTICS: Neural networks, fuzzy logic, artificial intelligence,
genetic algorithms, expert systems, identification, signal processing techniques,
observers
5. MATERIALS FOR ELECTRICAL MACHINES: Insulating and magnetic materials,
remaining life models, ageing tests
6. TESTS FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE: Partial discharge analysis and tests, new
instruments for diagnostics

Regular Papers: Submit provisional versions of full papers in English as follows.
Limitation to 6 full pages, including paper title, authors and affiliations, figures and
references (maximum size 2MB). Authors are requested to prepare the manuscripts
in the IEEE two-column format, using the template available in the SDEMPED
Website and to translate it in PDF using the IEEE PDF eXpress™ facility.
Special Sessions: A special session is a group of 6 papers which are solicited by a
session organizer on the basis of a special topic. All the papers are collected in the
same way as regular ones and they pass in the same review process.
Tutorials: Tutorials will be offered to SDEMPED attendees on September 5, 2011 in
the afternoon (proposals to the organizing committee are welcome).
All submissions should be in electronic form. Instructions will be posted in due
course on the web site. The best presented papers (up to 3) will receive the
SDEMPED Best Paper Award.
