The Power Systems Computation Conference (PSCC) has become one of the most outstanding events in the field of electric power systems. With a change of pace from meeting every three years to every two years, PSCC provides a truly international forum for the regular exchange of knowledge and experience on the latest developments in this field.
PSCC addresses theoretical developments and computational aspects of electric power systems research, with applications ranging from micro-grids to mega-grids. There is an emphasis on modelling and simulation for understanding a system of components, plants, or actors, the interactions between them and their collective behavior, and methods to inform decision-making in power systems. Contributions might comment on analytical techniques, modelling challenges, and complex software engineering issues as well as what the analyses say with respect to today’s and the future’s power system challenges. Thus, papers from utility and manufacturing industry engineers are just as welcome as those from academic researchers.
 
The following list of topics is not exhaustive but is offered in order to help prospective authors identify what is likely to be in scope.
