Call for Nominations: IEEE PSPI Prize Paper Award

IEEE Power Systems Planning and Implementation Committee (PSPI) is calling for nominations for various awards. I am serving as the coordinator for the IEEE Working Group on Energy Forecasting to turn in the nominations. Here I would like to encourage you to nominate some energy forecasting papers for the PSPI Prize Paper Award.

Here are the criteria for the nominated papers:

• High-quality standard. 
• A journal paper in the energy forecasting area (see the scope HERE).
• Published in an IEEE PES journal (PETSJ, TEC, TPWRD, TPWRS, TSG and TSTE) or magazine (Power and Energy Magazine). 
• Published within previous three years. 

Some sample benchmarks for a prize paper:

• A paper focusing on both issues and methods should be superior to a paper focusing on algorithm only.
• A paper focusing on both theoretical method and practical solution should be superior to a paper focusing ononly theoretical method or only practical solution.
• A paper with an actual example of utility system should be superior to a paper with a hypothetical example or test system. 
• A paper focusing on a new idea or resolving a new issue should be superior to a paper focusing on improvement of an existing method or problem.
