SWICON Conferences are held at four year intervals. SWICON 2015 is the ninth in series, the first having been organized in 1984. Objectives: SWICON conferences provide an international platform for the presentation and discussion on the latest developments in the field of Switching, Protection, Control and Communication for Low, Medium, High & Extra High Voltage power system. This conference will dwell upon the following areas: 1. Emerging trends in each field 2. Application of new technologies & materials for enhanced benefits to the users 2015 Switching ON the Future Switching ON the Future Theme: Call for Manuscript: The theme for SWICON 2015, “Switching ON the Future” has been chosen to align it with the evolving trends in the energy technology and associated switchgear industry across the world. There has been an enhanced focus on sustainable and efficient use of energy through convergence of IT offering smarter solutions. This is being worked on, right from power generation to distribution and utilization. At the same time with ever increasing fault levels, safety concerns, materials & quality of power supply remain as focus points. Manuscripts for presentation at the Conference are invited on the topics mentioned above. Papers should have relevance/ consonance with the theme of the Conference and should be based on actual work done, results obtained and future technological trends etc. Important: XX Switchgear for Efficient Transmission & Distribution XX Integration of Switchgear with Automation Processes Papers presented previously in any Conference or published in any Journal are not acceptable. The authors are required to give a declaration to this effect. XX At least one Author in case of paper having multiple authors has to be present at the Conference for presenting the paper. Only one Author will be exempted from payment of delegate fee, all other co-authors have to register as paying delegates. XX Trade name or Brand name of any particular product or service or company logo is not to be displayed in any form. While critical reviews and analysis may be included, the paper should not criticise any specific product or service. XX The presentation has to be submitted on a standard template which will be provided by SWICON 2015. XX Intelligent Switchgear for Energy Management Controlled Switching Students’ papers: XX XX Green Switchgear Technology XX Protection and Control Systems Topics: SWICON 2015 will cover the entire range of Switchgear & Controlgear, from Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), High Voltage (HV), Extra High Voltage (EHV) and Ultra High Voltage (UHV). Technical papers are invited on topics enumerated below: XX To encourage papers from students from Technical Institutes, best papers will be rewarded. There will be a contest for selection of papers under this category, which will be separately notified to the Technical Institutes. 3. Sharing global practices XX Green Manufacturing Technology for Switchgear 4. International standards XX Diagnostic and Predictive Maintenance 5. Field Experience XX Reliable and Maintenance Free Switchgear and User Expectations XX Life Cycle and Asset Management including Retrofitting and Upgradation XX Switchgear Performance Simulation, Evaluation and Testing XX Installation & Commissioning Practices and Emerging Standards All conference activities shall be WEB ENABLED. Prospective Authors are requested to submit their Abstract on the designated website only: www.swicon2015.com (link also available on www.ieema.org). The Abstract should preferably be upto 500 words and submitted on or before 15th January 2015 for approval of the conference Technical Committee. XX Maintenance Techniques Steps for Paper Submission: XX Switchgear for renewable energy Switchgear for higher fault levels and Special Applications Go to www.swicon2015.com XX XX Materials and Manufacturing Processes for Efficient Switchgear XX Compact, User friendly Switchgear XX Safety in Switchgear This conference facilitates attendees to meet and interact with experts from various domains and learn about new developments being done across the globe. Participants also meet authors and exchange ideas and best practices among themselves. SWICON 2011 was attended by over 375 delegates, with 45 papers presented over two days spread over common and parallel sessions. Mr Pascal Brosset, Chief Technology Officer & Senior Vice President Innovation, Schneider Electric, France, Dr Peter Frank Tollkuehn, Head of MV GIS R&D Siemens AG Germany & Mr D.S Johnson, Consultant CG Global, USA had delivered the keynote addresses. Topics as listed above are suggestive and not restrictive.
