Grids – Planning, Operation, Protection:
For DC only and hybrid AC/DC transmission and distribution grids specific topics may include:
- Planning requirements, concepts and guidelines
- Normal and disturbed operation
- Technical requirements and restrictions for operating grids
- Protection concepts – detection, localization, clearance, restoration of supply
- Short circuit/fault currents
- Grounding concepts
- Demonstrators, field applications, realized and planned projects
For DC only and hybrid AC/DC distribution grids specific topics may include:
- Industrial experiences and products
- Grid design, e.g. grid structures, voltage levels, line configurations
- Grid connection of households and other consumers or generators
- Transition/conversion from AC to DC grids
- Future supply tasks with high share of DC technology
All submitted posters will be evaluated with regard to their novelty, fundamental insights, experimental evaluation, and potential for long-term impact, chosen by the Advisory Committee. New idea contributions as well as contributions that significantly advance established areas are strongly encouraged.
Approved posters will be printed out (A0 format) and will be displayed in the exhibition area by their authors. In addition, 5 posters will receive a Best Poster Award and their respective author will also receive a 50% refund of the registration fees.
All posters will be published in the ADCGS conference proceedings. Moreover, they will be made available (both digitally and for download as a PDF file) on a personalized website with exclusive access. A highlight list (poster title and author’s name) will be published on the ADCGS public websites.
Please use the official poster templates which you can download here.
