Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC) February 2022 Travel Proposal

德州电力和能源会议（TPEC）是一个由学生组织的IEEE技术会议，始于2017年。第六届年度活动TPEC 2022将于2022年2月28日至3月1日在德克萨斯州大学城的德克萨斯农工大学校园举行。为期两天的会议将汇聚来自工业界和学术界的与会者，介绍和讨论电力和能源工程领域的最新技术发展和挑战。会议将包括论文会议、主题演讲、学生海报竞赛、行业赞助和招聘会。还将参观位于德克萨斯农工大学基础设施更新中心（CIR）的智能电网控制室实验室。这笔补助金将用于支持学生前往和参加TPEC 2022。预计约有15名学生将受益于这项资助，以抵消他们的参与成本。通过加入TPEC 2022，他们将受益于听取和讨论新的研究进展，听取主题演讲，与行业和学术界建立联系，并有机会在论文或海报中展示他们的工作。整个电力和能源工程研究社区也将受益于这些学生将带来的价值和观点。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC) is a student-run IEEE technical conference that started in 2017. The sixth annual event, TPEC 2022, will be held on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, on February 28 and March 1, 2022. This two-day event will bring together participants from industry and academia to present and discuss the latest technological developments and challenges in the area of power and energy engineering. The conference will include paper sessions, keynote speakers, a student poster competition, and an industrial sponsor and job fair. There will also be a tour included of the Smart Grids Control Room Lab located at the Center for Infrastructure Renewal (CIR) at Texas A&M University.This grant will be used to support students traveling to and attending TPEC 2022. It is expected that about 15 students will benefit from this grant, offsetting their cost of participation. By joining in with TPEC 2022, they will benefit from hearing and discussing new research developments, hearing keynote speakers, networking with industry and academia, and having the opportunity to present their work in a paper or poster. The whole research community in power and energy engineering will benefit as well, by the value and perspectives these students will bring to the event.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.
