The International Workshops on Electric Power Control Centers were founded and organized by Tom Dy-Liacco in 1991. EPCC Workshops provide a unique platform for information exchange among the industry professionals involved in technical, business, regulatory and financial aspects of system reliability and electricity markets. Workshop discussions focus on the latest developments in control center technologies, highlighting their impact on the most urgent challenges of power system operations and system planning.

Who Should Attend

Attendance at the 15th International Workshop is open to all professionals and PhD students with experience, involvement or interest in the Workshop topics.

The Workshop Format

The Workshop will consist of five technical sessions, each dedicated to a specific topic. The technical sessions will be strictly discussion and not paper sessions. No formal papers are solicited for the Workshop. Moreover, in order to encourage free exchange of ideas, verified or not, no discussion records will be kept.

How to Participate

Participation in the Workshop will be through informal discussions during the sessions and during the breaks throughout each day. Participants may present prepared discussions with the aid of PowerPoint slides. Such discussions will be limited on average to five to 10 minutes. Novel ideas will be allocated longer presentation times. Discussion questions should be sent ahead of time.

A one page abstract of the prepared discussion and/or discussion questions should be mailed to dsobajic@gridengineering.com by April 12, 2019.

After the Workshop, discussion slides and abstracts of invited and prepared discussions and other used materials will be made available at the EPCC website, www.epcc-workshop.net.

Language

The language of all discussions during the technical sessions is English.
