IEEE Power Engineering Society 2005 Annual Report by Technical Committee on Power System Analysis, Computing and Analysis (PSACE) Chair: Chen-Ching Liu, University of Washington Vice Chair: Roger Dugan, EPRI 1. Significant accomplishments in 2005 ? PSACE organized a total of 14 panel sessions at the 2005 General Meeting of the Power Engineering Society in San Francisco, CA. The subject areas cover state- of-the-art and high interest topics in the areas of power market economics, risk / reliability and probability applications, computing and analytic methods, intelligent system applications, and distribution system analysis. All sessions were well attended. ? PSACE revised IEEE Standard 762, “IEEE Standard definitions for use in reporting electric generating unit reliability, availability and productivity.” ? A total of 90 proceedings papers within the scope of PSACE were reviewed and presented at the 2005 General Meeting. ? PSACE provided a tutorial at the 2005 General Meeting on “Electric delivery system reliability evaluation.” ? PSACE is a primary technical co-sponsor for the IEEE PES/CIGRE Symposium in October 2005, San Antonio, TX. The theme of the symposium was “Congestion Management in a Market Environment.” PSACE was responsible for inviting and reviewing papers and chairing sessions. ? PSACE is the technical co-sponsor of the 13th International Conference on “Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems (ISAP) ” that was held in Arlington, VA, in November 2005. The 2005 ISAP includes 90 technical papers from 18 countries as well as 6 tutorial papers that will be available through IEEE Explore Data Base. PSACE played a leadership role in the organization and the technical program. 2. Benefits to industry and PES members ? The PSACE panel sessions provide a forum for PES members concerning subjects within the scope of PSACE and of great interest to the PES members. Panelists are experts in
