Sixth National Power Systems Conference, Bombay, India, June 4-7, 1990, Group Travel Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies

描述：该项目支持八名美国科学家和工程师参加将于1990年6月4日至7日在印度孟买举行的六个国家电力系统研讨会。研讨会由孟买印度理工学院主办，马哈拉施塔邦电力委员会、英迪拉·甘地发展研究所以及班加罗尔中央电力研究所联合赞助。会议的主题是2000年的电力系统。预计将有来自印度的科学家、工程师、顾问和制造业代表以及来自世界各地的院士和科学家广泛参加。将涵盖的主要主题包括大型电力系统、控制系统和分散系统。会议将与来自美国和其他国家的特邀专家举行的辅导研讨会同时举行。范围：印度正着手大规模扩建其电网，在未来25年内将装机容量从6000万千瓦增加到约2亿千瓦。对于印度以及大多数发展中国家来说，这一增长的重点预计将是节能、环境考虑以及可靠性。必须考虑燃料的来源，包括可再生和不可再生。拟议的会议为讨论和交流与电力系统规划、设计、建设、运行和维护有关的重要问题提供了一个论坛。会议很可能会确定对印度和其他最不发达国家以及美国特别重要的具体科学问题。

Description: This project supports participation by eight U.S. scientists and engineers in the Six National Power Systems Symposium to be held in Bombay, India, June 4-7, 1990. The Symposium is organized by the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and jointly sponsored by the Maharashta State Electricity Board and the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research as well as the Central Power Research Institute in Bangalore. The conference theme is Power Systems for the year 2000. It is expected to be widely attended by scientists, engineers, consultants and manufacturing representatives from India, and by academicians and scientists from around the world. Major topics to be covered include large power systems, control systems, and decentralized systems. The conference will be cocurrent with a tutorial symposium to be given by invited experts from the U.S and other countries. Scope: India is embarking on a large expansion of its power network, with an increase from 60 Million kilowatt (KW) capacity to about 200 million KW within the next 25 years. For India, as well as for most developing countries the focus in this growth is expected to be on energy conservation, environmental consideration as well as reliability. Sources for fuel, both renewable and nonrenewable, have to be considered. The proposed conference provides a forum for discussions and exchange of information on the important issues related to the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of electric power systems. It is likely that the conference will identify specific scientific problems that may be of particular importance to India, and other LDC's, as well as to the U.S.
