CONFERENCE: Second International Conference on Digital Power System Simulators; May 28-30, l997; Montreal, Canada

9614540科祖诺维奇正在组织第二届国际数字电力系统仿真器会议(ICDS‘97)，目的是为大学、研究机构、制造商、顾问和公用事业行业之间就数字电力系统仿真器领域的研究、开发、实施和应用交流信息提供一个论坛。第一次会议(ICDS‘95)是关于这一主题的第一次会议，对这一主题表现出了浓厚的兴趣，来自20多个国家的70多篇论文和近150名与会者出席了会议。在第一届会议上展出的最先进的模拟器设备和第二届会议的类似计划为与会者提供了一个独特的机会，可以看到现有和新的设计的演示。随着最近电力行业的重组，提高工作人员的效率和技能变得重要。数字仿真器通过其接口提供了全面研究各种电力系统现象的机会，便于对新的电力系统设计和相关控制设备进行复杂的评估。过去使用现场测试或模拟模拟器的耗时和昂贵的方法可以被高度自动化、低成本的模拟器所取代。ICDS‘97是一个讨论这一领域最新问题的独特论坛。由于成本过高，美国的学术机构过去很少有机会获得先进的模拟模拟器。今天，大学可以使用现成的工具来开发低成本的数字模拟器。迫切需要在这一重要领域对学生进行教育，因为这可能导致他们对今后开发和/或使用这类设备的兴趣。这项提议的目的是支持有兴趣的学生前往会议介绍和/或参加各种讨论和陈述。***

9614540 Kezunovic The Second International Conference on Digital Power System Simulators (ICDS '97) is being organized with an objective of providing a forum for exchange of information among universities, research organizations, manufacturers, consultants and utility industry regarding research, development,implementation and application in the area of digital power system simulators. The First Conference (ICDS '95) was the inaugural gathering on this subject and has demonstrated a strong interest in this subject with over 70 papers presented from over 20 countries and close to 150 participants present. The exhibit of the state-of-the-art simulator equipment at the First Conference and a similar plan for the Second Conference provide participants with a unique opportunity to see demonstrations of the existing, and new, designs. With recent restructuring of the power industry, it becomes important that efficiency and skills of the personnel to be enhanced. Digital simulators provide for an opportunity of comprehensive study of various power system phenomena using their interfaces that facilitate complex evaluations of new power system designs and related control equipment. The time consuming and expensive approaches of the past where either field tests or analog simulators are used can be substituted with highly automated, low cost simulators. The ICDS '97 is a unique forum for discussion of the most recent issues in this area. The U.S.A. academic institutions have had very little access to advanced analog simulators in the past due to the excessive cost. Today, low cost digital simulators can be developed at the universities using readily available tools. A need to educate students in this important area is pressing since this can lead to their interest in developing and/or using such equipment in the future. This proposal is aimed at supporting travel of the interested students to the conference to present and/or to participate in va rious discussions and presentations. ***
