Notes for Authors

Conference Topics

Two types of contribution may be submitted for presentation at the technical sessions: full conference papers (20 minutes presentation) and short conference papers (10 minutes presentation). The European EMTP-ATP Conference - EEUG Meeting 2009 seeks papers in all aspects of power system transient simulations using ATP-EMTP program, including but not limited to:

Solution methods and algorithms: verifications, comparisons.
Development of new simulation tools.
Development and implementation of new models:
- Circuit breakers and electric arc.
- HV transmission lines, cables, MV distribution systems, covered conductors.
- Transformers, reactors, electrical machines, wind generators and drives.
- Renewable energy sources, PV systems.
- PowerLine Telecommunication systems.
Power system studies and measurements:
- Switching surges, inrush transients, ferroresonance.
- Direct and induced lightning surges, insulation coordination.
- Harmonics and power quality.
- Very fast transients, EMC, EMP, LEMP.
Power Electronics, SVC, FACTS and control systems.
Power system protection, new algorithms.
Using ATP-EMTP in power engineering education.

Presentation Facilities

The following facilities will be provided at the Technical Sessions:

Overhead projector
Notebook PC with MS Office
PC/video projector

The Local Organizing Committee will provide a notebook PC with MS Office (including PowerPoint). The PC can read 1.44 floppies, USB memory stick and ordinary CDs, but not DVDs. Authors are recommended to bring their own lap-top for the presentation.

Presentation Instructions

Each author will be permitted 20 minutes for presentation. The presentation time is limited so as to allow enough time for questions and discussion, which are an important aspect of the Conference. It is important to do a trial run of your presentation to avoid interruption in the midstream. Remember this is an international audience, therefore you may have to speak a little more slowly than usual.

In order to communicate your research most effectively, please:

Concentrate on the main concepts;
Avoid detailed derivations and formulas;
Present the main results and their significance;

Keywords to gain the audience attention are : simplicity and conciseness. Simplicity means one idea at a time (one idea per slide). Conciseness means (also to be compliant with sessions timing) not more than 15 slides, and that slides and projections are not being cluttered.

Slides and overheads should preferably be horizontal (landscape) formatted. Colour slides should use a relatively dark-coloured background and any details in clear contrasting colours. Text or word slides are used to make statements of facts or objectives. Complete sentences should be avoided. In order to emphasize key points use bullets within a text slide. When lines of text do not illustrate your point, consider using a chart or a graph. The font sizes should be 36-point type for titles 18-point type for text. A good average is a number of lines lower than ten on a text slide.
