*Conference topics

The overall theme of the PMAPS conference is power engineering decision problems under uncertainty. "The conference topics therefore include different probabilistic methods with applications to power system planning, operation, control, maintenance, condition monitoring, diagnostics, among others."

Probabilistic methods include but are not limited to:

Stochastic optimization Stochastic load forecasting Reliability centered maintenance Structural reliability Bayesian reliability analysis Component importance methods Lifetime data analysis Monte Carlo techniques

Risk analysis Reliability prediction Safety and security analysis Uncertainty estimation Reliability testing Reliability management Markov models Seismic concerns

The methods may be applied to all fields within power systems such as generation, transmission and distribution.
