Student Housing and Student Program Support for the 51st North American Power Symposium, Wichita, KS, October 13-15, 2019

该提案寻求资金，以部分支持学生住房和学生相关活动在2019年北美电力研讨会（NAPS 2019），以学生为中心的会议。NAPS的2019版将于2019年10月13日至15日在威奇托州立大学，威奇托，堪萨斯州举行。它将继续通过增强会议体验支持学生的传统。今年，学生活动包括技能发展研讨会，技术演示和网络机会。在NAPS发表和提交论文的学生将收到来自行业和学术专家的反馈。杰出的学生贡献将通过最佳论文奖竞赛得到认可。为了增加本科生的参与，NAPS 2019将包括一个单独的轨道，以突出本科生的研究。软技能研讨会计划为学生与会者提供一个机会，为未来的电力系统专家是更有效的沟通者本次会议的目的是鼓励学生研究人员在电力和能源系统的一般领域分享他们的初步成果。本次会议还为他们提供了一个与行业和学术专家互动的渠道，以进一步激发他们对电力和能源系统新兴领域的兴趣和理解。这些成果往往成为迈向新的研究方向和电网现代化的第一步。会议上发表的文章将是同行评审的原创作品，并将通过IEEE数字数据库IEEExplore实现。这些文章将提供给世界各地的电力系统社区。学生与会者将能够通过参加行业专家的全体会议来了解电力系统中的当代问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This proposal seeks funding to partially support student-housing and student related activities at the 2019 North American Power Symposium (NAPS 2019), a student-centric conference. The 2019edition of NAPS will be held from October 13 to 15, 2019 at Wichita State University, Wichita, KS. It will continue its tradition of supporting students through an enhanced conference experience. This year, the student activities include skill-development workshops, technical presentations and networking opportunities. Students who publish and present a paper in NAPS will receive feedback from industry and academic experts. Exceptional student contributions will be recognized through a best paper award competition. Aiming to increase undergraduate student participation, NAPS 2019 will include a separate track to highlight undergraduate student research. The soft-skills workshop is planned for the student attendees to provide an opportunity for the future power system experts to be more effective communicatorsThe objective of this conference is to encourage student researchers in the general area of power and energy systems to share their preliminary outcomes. This conference also provides an avenue for them to interact with industry and academic experts to further simulate their interest and understanding in the emerging areas of power and energy systems. These outcomes often become the initial step towards new research directions and the modernization of the power grid. The articles presented in the conference willbe peer reviewed original work and will be achieved through the IEEE digital databases, IEEExplore. These articles will be available to the power system community around the world. Student attendees will be able learn about contemporary issues in power systems by attending the plenary sessions by industryexperts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
