Block Travel Grant for Symposium on Expert Systems Application to Power Systems, Stockholm, Sweden, August 22- 26, 1988

专家系统应用于电力系统问题是一个相当新的领域。在过去的几年中，已经开发了一些有趣的应用和方法：例如，电力系统故障定位，报警解释和减少，操作和控制等。专家系统在现实世界控制中心的实施正在日本和美国进行。专家系统领域是1987年4月在亚利桑那州坦佩举行的美国国家科学基金会电力系统研讨会上选择讨论的十个关键领域之一。虽然在这一领域取得了进展，但仍有许多基本问题有待研究。研讨会由瑞典皇家理工学院主办，日本东京大学和美国西雅图华盛顿大学协办。研讨会国际咨询委员会由关健教授担任主席。提案人刘振中是该委员会的副主席和美国代表。根据初步计划，共有89篇论文将在18场会议上发表。作者来自全球21个国家。除美国论文外，还有来自其他国家的热情参与：日本（17篇）、斯堪的纳维亚（14篇）、英国（5篇）、荷兰（4篇）、法国（1篇）、德国（1篇）等。研讨会涵盖了与电力系统有关的专家系统的各个方面：从基本方法到电力系统规划和运行中特定功能的专家系统。根据最新的注册数据，企业和大学都有很好的代表。

The area of expert system application to power system problems is fairly new. Some interesting applications and methodologies have been developed over the last several years: for example, power system fault location, alarm interpretation and reduction, operation and control, etc. Implementation of expert systems in the real-world control centers is being performed in Japan and the U.S. The area of expert systems was one of the ten critical areas selected for discussion in the NSF Power System Workshop in Tempe, Arizona, in April 1987. Although progress has been made in the field, many fundamental issues remain to be investigated. The Symposium is organized by the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, with University of Tokyo, Japan, and University of Washington, Seattle, U.S.A. as co-organizers. The International Advisory Committee of the Symposium is chaired by Professor Y. Sekine. C. C. Liu, the proposer, is serving as a vice- chairman and the U.S. representative on the committee. According to the preliminary program a total of 89 papers will be presented in 18 sessions. The authors come form 21 countries throughout the world. Besides the U.S. papers there is an enthusiastic participation from other countries: Japan (17), Scandinavia (14), United Kingdom (5), Holland (4), France (1), Germany (1), etc. The Symposium covers various aspects of expert system related to power systems: from basic methodolgies to expert systems for specific functions in power system planning and operation. Both industry and universities are well represented according to latest registration figures.
