CALL FOR PAPERS

The 10th IASTED International Conference on
Power and Energy Systems
~PES 2008~

April 16 �?? 18, 2008
Baltimore, Maryland, USA

SPONSORS
The International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED)
  Technical Committee on Power and Energy Systems

CONFERENCE CHAIR
Dr. Ewald Fuchs �?? University of Colorado at Boulder, USA

PURPOSE
The next generation of power systems must change and adapt to environmental factors, customer concerns, and reliability issues.  The environment will prove to be either a catalyst or obstacle for future electrical development, and customer-centred concerns will be a driving force for new concepts in demand participation. Additionally, recent and ongoing challenges related to blackouts and power quality problems in many parts of world must be solved with innovations in controls, devices, and infrastructure. Wide-scale disasters must be mitigated. Energy systems must rely more on renewable sources, be very efficient, and have the capability to rapidly expand in order to meet the growing demand for electrical energy. 

The 10th IASTED International Conference on Power and Energy Systems will create an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and practical experience in the areas of energy and power systems. PES 2008 aims to strengthen relations between the energy sector, research laboratories, and universities. All papers submitted to this conference will be peer evaluated by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.

LOCATION
PES 2008 will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
