UPEC 2009

It is with great pleasure that the Institute for Energy and Environment in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde invites you to the 44th International Universities' Power Engineering Conference (UPEC 2009) in Glasgow, Scotland.

View the full conference programme (pdf, 1.3Mb) and the updated schedule (pdf, 0.3Mb).

UPEC has been long-established as a major annual international forum for the presentation, discussion and exchange of information concerning new trends in electric power engineering. As well as universities, contributions are welcome from industry. In light of the major challenges now faced by the power and transport industries and the need for talented engineers and innovations to meet those challenges in the coming decades, contributions from younger engineers and researchers are particularly encouraged.

The conference will provide an excellent opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones and become better informed about the latest developments in the field of power engineering.

Conference papers available

All papers accepted for UPEC 2009 are now available. Papers may be viewed according to topic or the session in which they will be presented. Any user may view the titles, authors and abstracts.

Copies of the papers in Portable Document Format (PDF) are available to delegates once their payment has been fully processed. Funds must be received and cleared before access to the PDFs is made available.

Deadline for full paper submission extended

The deadline for the submission of full papers has been extended from May 4th to May 18th.

Authors who have received an invitation to submit a full paper should do so by uploading a revised manuscript via the UPEC 2009 TrackChair website.

Submission of full papers

Authors who have received an invitation to submit a full paper should do so by uploading a revised manuscript via the UPEC 2009 TrackChair website on the appropriate page for their particular paper using the same paper ID as for the extended abstract. The deadline for submission of full papers is May 18th, 2009.

Final publication is subject to a satisfactory full paper and presentation at the conference by one of the authors. All accepted and presented papers will be published electronically in the conference proceedings, which will be distributed through IEEE Xplore. The best papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in a journal.

Guidance on the format of the full paper is available here. The file also provides a template for the full paper which must be no more than five pages in length.

Deadline for abstract submission passed

The deadline for the submission of abstracts for UPEC 2009 has now passed. Authors will be notified of their acceptance by the week beginning March 30th, 2009.
