Student Travel Support for the 2013 North American Power Symposium. Date:, September,22-24,2013, Location: Kansas St. University, Manhattan, Kansas.

该提案要求为参加第45届北美电力研讨会（nap）的学生提供部分旅费，该研讨会将于2013年9月在堪萨斯州曼哈顿的堪萨斯州立大学校园举行。北美电力研讨会（nap）是一个主要以学生参与为目标的非营利性活动。传统上，绝大多数论文都是由学生提交的。本次研讨会在技术上由IEEE-PES共同主办，预计将有大约140篇会议论文在IEEE-Explore上发表。NSF吗?美国的支持将对学生参加会议产生积极影响。智力优势：nap的独特之处在于它专注于学生准备和发表技术论文。本次会议为NSF提供了一个独特的机会，促进学生、学术界和电力行业之间的互动，促进和讨论NSF？对电力和能源系统的技术挑战，包括技术、社会和经济方面的认识；以及更广泛的网络物理（CPS）系统。nap也是一个令人兴奋的学生论文竞赛的场所，以确定和培养学生进行的高质量研究。更广泛的影响：nap会议历来为学生提供第一次研究报告的机会。此外，nap鼓励对研究和教学的系统整合进行讨论。根据最近的nap会议历史，学生项目能够吸引20%的少数民族和妇女。

This proposal requests funding to partially support travel of students attending the 45th North American Power Symposium (NAPS), which will be held on the campus of Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas in September 2013. The North American Power Symposium (NAPS) is a non-profit event that is aimed primarily at student participation. Traditionally, the overwhelming majority of the papers are presented by students. The symposium is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE-PES and it is expected that about 140 conference papers will be presented and become available on IEEE-Explore. NSF?s support will positively impact student participation at the conference.Intellectual Merit: NAPS is unique in its focus on students preparing and presenting technical papers. This conference provides a unique opportunity for NSF to interact with and promote interaction among students, academia and power industry to promote and discuss NSF?s vision of technical challenges in power and energy systems, including technical, societal and economic aspects; and more broadly in cyber-physical (CPS) systems. NAPS is also a venue to an exciting student paper competition for identifying and fostering high quality research performed by students.Broader Impact: NAPS conferences have a history of giving students their first opportunity of research presentations. Further, NAPS encourages discussion of systematic integration of research and teaching. Based on recent history of NAPS conferences the student program has been able to attract 20% minorities and women.
