The Workshop deals with all the aspects related to the measurement applications in power systems. In this field measurement issues are continuously increasing along with a demand for more and more accurate measurements. The development of new diagnostic methods, of new kind of power network managements, the study and development of Smart Grids where also synchronized distributed measurement systems are required and the even more critical environmental conditions are some
examples of the challenges for the new generation of sensors and measurement apparatus.

This Workshop will focus on all the aspects related to sensors and measurements in the field of power networks and power systems, to find a pondered, physically and mathematically sound answer to the challenges of the future Power Grid.

Main topics include, but are not limited to:

Sensors for protection relays and for special applications in power systems
Nonconventional current and voltage sensors
New generation of revenue metering
Reliability of measurement apparatus for control and management of power networks
Measurement systems for diagnostic purposes
Definition and measurement of Power Quality indices
Development of coordinated proposals for new Standards
Distributed measurement systems
Certification issues of nonconventional measurement systems and apparatus
The expected contributions to be presented in the 2st edition of the AMPS workshop should critically address these issues and develop opinions and innovative solutions to instrumentation and measurement challenges in power applications.
