The International Institute for Research and Education in Power System Dynamics is pleased to announce the tenth symposium (and seventh since the IREP was formed) dedicated to the discussion, research and innovation for solutions of the complex problems facing the electric power industry.

A wide variety of operational and markets models are being implemented under a careful step by step approaches so that the mistakes of the past are not repeated. Technological innovations, driven by increases in primary fuel costs and scarcity of fossil fuels are targeting in generating technologies, delivery technologies and efficiency. Investments in grid expansion have lagged load and generation growth with heavy reliance on new technologies for more efficient utilization of the power grid. This trend resulted in operating the system closer to its limits with the subsequent vulnerability to disturbances and complex transients. Operational reliability, the expectation that the system will perform as intended, has been adversely affected by deregulation and lack of clear incentives for grid enhancements. The recent series of major blackouts around the world have brought into focus renewed interest in operational reliability. Around the world major initiatives have been undertaken to improve power grid reliability, such as the creation of the ERO for the North American system. New and improved reliability assessment methodologies and approaches, policies, operational procedures and control center tools are all important for revitalizing operational reliability. Papers are sought in all aspects of these issues.

PREFERRED TOPICS
Contributions are sought that answer the above questions and, in particular, refer to any of the following topics:

Reactive (static and dynamic) power management
Load dynamics and its impact on grid security
Wide area protection and emergency control
GPS synchronized measurement applications
Control center technologies, visualization
New technologies for state estimation and system visibility
Dynamic loading of components and implications to system security
Implications of increased fault current
Reliability analysis under utility restructuring
Regulatory trends and implications to system reliability
Handling of reserves, frequency regulation, voltage support, and reactive power in a market environment
Dynamic security assessment and control
On-line angle and voltage stability assessment
Control center applications
Power system restoration
Issues in inter-RTO operations
Formulation of operational reliability standards
