Message from the Chairmen

It is well known that measurement applications in power systems are continuously evolving, with new challenging aspects to be considered in monitoring, managing and controlling both the power grid and several of its components (generators, transformers, converters, etc.). In this evolution, the development of more performing measurement systems and devices is associated to the need of defining new procedures to ensure the quality of the data. As an example, the need for a new generation of voltage and current transducers comes along with the necessity to provide on-site verifications of the transducers installed in the power systems. From the same point of view, despite the fact that Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are worldwide recognized as crucial devices for the management of modern power networks and the development of Smart Grids, several critical issues are still open about the meaning of the synchrophasors measured by these devices in some conditions and consequently their practical use in wide area monitoring systems. Again, by considering the impact of ICT infrastructures in modern measurement systems for power grids, a measurement perspective is required to deal with critical aspects, such as synchronization, communication media, etc., so that the accuracy of the results provided by these complex measurement systems is guaranteed. The papers collected in these Proceedings cover the above topics and many others, like power quality and diagnostics of components, by merging the methodological aspects with the concerns arising from practical applications.
