Grantees Workshop On The NSF-ONR Research Initiative-Electric Power Networks Efficiency And Security (EPNES) being held July 12-14, 2004 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

这笔赠款将用于组织和主办一次关于NSF/ONR研究倡议“电力网络效率和安全(EPNES)”的研讨会。研讨会将包括来自2002年和2003年获得赠款的每个机构的研究表演者，来自FERC、NERC、能源部、ONR、EPRI、Entergy的代表，以及来自尼日利亚、喀麦隆和博茨瓦纳的4名非洲受邀者，他们是美国EPNES首席调查员的共同PIS。它还将包括编写讲习班会议记录，其中将介绍受赠人提供的技术信息。这些程序稍后将被开发成一本书的特别版的章节。智力价值：这笔赠款将在EPNES研究人员之间建立互动，并将刺激他们与来自FERC、NERC、DOE、ONR、EPRI、Entergy、波多黎各公用事业公司和非洲研究人员的代表之间的智力讨论。广泛影响：这笔赠款将(I)将调查人员的活动扩大到国家一级，(Ii)包括将激励和鼓励更多少数群体参与这类研究的少数群体，以及(3)包括讲习班会议记录和一本书，将向这一领域和与网络效率和安全有关的领域的其他研究人员广泛传播研究结果。

This grant will support the organization and hosting of a workshop on the NSF/ONR research initiative in "Electric Power Networks Efficiency and Security (EPNES)". The workshop will include research performers from each of the institutions awarded grants in 2002 and 2003, representatives from FERC, NERC, DoE, ONR, EPRI, Entergy, and 4 African invitees from Nigeria, Cameroon, and Botswana who are Co-PIs with the US EPNES Principal investigators. It will also include the preparation of workshop proceedings that will feature technical information provided by the grantees. These proceedings will later be developed into chapters of a special edition of a book.Intellectual merit: This grant will create interaction between EPNES researchers and will stimulate intellectual discussions between them and representatives from FERC, NERC, DoE, ONR, EPRI, Entergy, the Puerto Rico utility, and African researchers.Broader impact: This grant will (i) broaden the activities of the investigators to anational level, (ii) include minorities who will inspire and encourage more minorities to participate in this type of research, and (iii) include a workshop proceedings and a book that will disseminate the findings to a wide audience of other researchers in this area and areas related to network efficiency and security.
