Workshop on "Research Needs in Power System Operations and Planning" held in Atlanta, GA - September 5-8, 1989

国家电力系统的安全、可靠、经济运行对国民经济具有重要意义。电力系统的复杂性不断增加，再加上降低生产成本的需要，导致电力行业面临的问题的复杂性不断升级。因此，有必要不断地重新评估目前的操作和规划方法，并确定研究需求，以便为日益具有挑战性的问题所需的创新方法铺平道路。本次研讨会的范围是将电力系统运行和规划方面的研究人员聚集在一起，并提供一个讨论研究需求的论坛。预计讲习班将确定目前的技术状况和研究需要。

The secure, reliable, and economic operation of the national electric power systems is of great importance to the national economy. Increasing power systems complexity, coupled with the need to reduce production costs, results in escalation of complexity of the problems facing the power industry. Consequently, it is necessary to continuously reevaluate present methods in operations and planning, and to define research needs in order to pave the way for the innovative approaches required by the increasingly challenging problems. The scope of this workshop is to bring together researchers in Power Systems Operations and Planning and to provide a forum for discussions of research needs. It is expected that the workshop will define present state of the art and research needs.
