Power Engineering and Automation Conference (PEAM 2011) will be held on September 8-9, 2011 in Wuhan, China. Being the capital city of Hubei Province, Wuhan is an important central city in China and the political, economic, scientific & technological, cultural and financial center in inland China. The third longest river of the world, the Yangtze River, and its longest branch, the Han River, cross here and divide the city into three parts, Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang.
You are invited to submit papers in all areas of power engineering and automation. All papers accepted will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by Ei and ISTP.
