AIESP 2006 First International ICSC Symposium on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENERGY SYSTEMS AND POWER
AIESP 2006
To be held at the Hotel Royal Savoy, Island of Madeira, Portugal, March 2006Artificial Intelligence is an advanced computer science that seeks to emulate some of the capabilities of the human brain,
e.g. to automate control of engineering systems and extend the skill of human operators.
AIESP2006 is the first of a series of conferences on 'Application of AI in Energy Systems and Power'. It
provides a forum to present the highest quality papers, and also to report on the latest developments on all above subjects. In other words it aims to teach and educate. The conference
provides an opportunity for dialogue and synergy between scientists and engineers from different backgrounds with the common interest within the field from all over the globe. To achieve this, the conference encourages
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to participate. The conference considers the application of whole range of AI topics to energy systems and power. In energy systems it
covers topics such as alternative energy including renewable energy sources (biomass, hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, tidal and photovoltaic conversion systems), new transportation fuels (such as ethanol) and new
applications of conventional energy sources (such as the use of propane and natural gas as automotive fuels, and batteries in electric vehicles), fuel cells and gas hydrates Examples of power topics are:
-Advanced EMS/SCADA & Restoration
-Dispersed Generation & Distribution Planning
-Dynamic Stability
-Electrical Machines & Drives
-Electromagnetic Transients & Fault Analysis
-FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems)
-High Voltage Systems
-Hydrothermal Scheduling
-Load Flow Analysis
-Load Forecasting
-Maintenance, Scheduling & Var Planning
-Optimal Power Flow
-Power Generation
-Power Quality, etc
-Power system equipment diagnosis;
-Eletromagnetic compatibility;
