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

该提案要求提供资金，以部分支持学生参加第45届北美电力研讨会（NAPS）的旅行，该研讨会将于2013年9月在堪萨斯曼哈顿的堪萨斯州立大学校园举行。北美电力研讨会（NAPS）是一个非营利性的活动，主要是针对学生的参与。传统上，绝大多数论文都是由学生提交的。研讨会在技术上由IEEE-PES共同赞助，预计将提交约140份会议论文，并可在IEEE-Explore上查阅。国家科学基金会学术价值：NAPS是独一无二的，它专注于学生准备和提交技术论文。本次会议提供了一个独特的机会，NSF互动，并促进学生，学术界和电力行业之间的互动，以促进和讨论NSF？电力和能源系统的技术挑战，包括技术，社会和经济方面的愿景;更广泛地说，在网络物理（CPS）系统。NAPS也是一个令人兴奋的学生论文比赛的场所，用于识别和培养学生进行的高质量研究。更广泛的影响：NAPS会议有历史，为学生提供第一次研究报告的机会。此外，NAPS鼓励讨论研究和教学的系统整合。根据NAPS会议最近的历史，学生计划已经能够吸引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.
