IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

Aims & Scope

The scope of this Transactions covers the requirements, planning, analysis, reliability, operation, and economics of electric generating, transmission, and distribution systems for general industrial, commercial, public, and domestic consumption.

The main focus of the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems is the power system from a systems viewpoint instead of components of the system.

It has five (5) key areas within its scope with several subdivisions within each area.

These areas are: (1) Power Engineering Education, (2) Power System Analysis, Computing, and Economics, (3) Power System Dynamic Performance, (4) Power System Operations, and (5) Power System Planning and Implementation.

The purviews of these areas are broad and do not need frequent updates.

However, if a new technology evolves in the industry and it needs specific focus, the purview of the corresponding area is updated to include the technology and the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems identifies it as a new subdivision.
