Verde (UNAM) SPONSORED BY: IFAC Technical Committee on Applications. Co-sponsored by IFAC Technical Committees on: Components and Instruments, Computers, Education and Systems Engineering. ORGANIZED BY: Instituto de Investigaciones Electricas (Control Systems Division) on behalf of the Asociacion de Mexico de Control Automatico with the support of: Instituto de Investigaciones Electricas Comision Federal de Electricidad Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia SCOPE: The objective of the symposium is to bring together control engineers and scientists of power plants and power systems worldwide. The interaction between the control engineers and scientists of power plants and power systems will be in the fields of energy management, artificial intelligence techniques, integrated computer systems, numerical methods, simulation and training tools applied to control of power systems and power plants. The symposium's technical program will include survey papers, plenary, invited and regular technical sessions. TOPICS: Control of Power Plants Control and operation of power plants Power plants modelling and simulation Integrated computer systems for power plants Distributed control systems Tools for control system design and documentation Fault diagnosis and fault tolerant systems Optimal and state feedback control Artificial intelligence applications Advanced control schemes Power plant automation: case studies Control of Power systems State estimation and model reduction Optimal power flow calculation techniques Generation scheduling and control Voltage and reactive power scheduling and control Dynamic security analysis Stability enhancement and control Advanced power systems control center functions Artificial intelligence applications Dispatcher training simulators Flexible transmission systems Power systems restoration Open system architectures for control centers CONTRIBUTIONS: Five copies of an extended abstract of three pages (800-1000 words) in English should be sent to the secretariat address. It must clearly indicate the new contributions and the relevance of the theme to the Symposium, according to the following structure: 0. Title and authors addresses (E-mail/phone/Fax) 1. State of the art 2. New contribution 3. Application or simulation results 4. References 5. Five keywords Proposals of invited sessions including a brief description of the topics and a list of prospective authors and titles should be sent to the secretariat address.

All papers for presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting and will be distributed to the participants. Papers duly presented will be archived and offered for sale, in the form of Postprint volumes, by Elsevier Science Ltd., Oxford, UK. The papers which have been presented will be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC journals Automatica and Control Engineering Practice or in other, IFAC affiliated journals. the abstracts of all papers presented will also appear in Control Engineering Practice. Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC. Authors will be sent a copyright transfer form. Automatica, Control Engineering Practice and, after these, IFAC affiliated journals have priority access to all contributions presented. However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these journals, within three months after the meeting, the author is free to re-submit the material for publication elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to the IFAC meeting where it was originally published. LANGUAGE The official symposium language is English. No simultaneous translation will be provided. =============================================================== Information Form To be completed and returned to the Symposium Secretariat.
