History of PMAPS

 

The International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems fills a needed role in the power engineering community by providing a regular forum for engineers and scientists worldwide to interact around the common theme of power engineering decision problems under uncertainty. Looking back across all the conferences, one sees a rich history of excellence. The following list summarizes the series.
