Ecaterina Andronescu Minister of Education, Research and Innovation --Romania in the „European Yearof Creativity and Innovation” Romania travels, together with the EU member states, on the road toward a knowledge based society. This is the only viable and long standing answer to the today’s Europe major challenges: globalization and the world economic crisis. To respond to these two challenges, Romania sustains, within the knowledge triangle education research innovation, the advanced research which is focused on obtaining scientific results of international level, encourages career developments in research, as well as creating poles of excellence. The complex research activities performed within edge domains and participation in international networks of high level education and research are, also, supported. The scientometric analysis and that of the existing infrastructure in the excellence poles emphasized some domains having a special potential, which are also traditional in the Romanian scientific research: biology, genetics and medicine, chemistry, the energetic sector, environment, the environment protection and materials science, mathematics, physics and technological physics, geology and atmosphere physics. Changing from the competitiveness based on factors (work, natural resources) or investments to the one based on creativity and innovation requests a development of the research capacity in high technology domains that can generate added value, can be exported and may involve other sectors as well. In the present moment, the research objectives are designing new and advanced materials, increasing products and processes competitiveness by using automation and integrated design, and new highly precise technologies and products, IT and environment protection systems design and development. The European Union has proposed the “20-20-20” targets by 2020, meaning 20%

reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, 20% share of renewable energy in EU final 2009 IEEE Bucharest PowerTech energy consumption and 20% improvement in energy efficiency. According to the Romania’s Energy Policy document, the Romanian energy intensity is about two times higher than the EU average. Romania has a substantial potential of renewable resources:

2 hydroelectric power, biomass, solar, wind and geothermal power. The connection to the European objectives, but also the direct interest in solving those complex problems, require an RDI effort complementary to the direction of action “Increased energy efficiency and sustainable development of the energy systems” included in the National Strategic Reference Framework. Considering the above, through a coherent innovation policy we must aim by our next period actions to the preparation of designs, technologies, and goods contributing to the meeting of the energy needs at the lowest possible price. This is possible through the use of new energy sources and an improved decision-making process, an increased technology expertise and the promotion of knowledge and technology transfer in the energy field. Creativity and innovation within the education research active partnership can produce the conditions to meet the energy needs of a modern economy and a high living standard, while keeping the promise to our children: a sustainable development, without

Mircea Eremia Conference Chair --Innovative Ideas toward the Electrical Grid of the Future

The Bucharest PowerTech Conference continues the tradition of the Power Tech Conferences held in odd years so far in Athens, Stockholm, Budapest, Porto, Bologna, St. Petersburg and Lausanne. PowerTech is intended to provide a forum for scientists and engineers interested in electric power engineering to share ideas, results of their scientific work, to learn from each other as well as to establish new friendships and rekindle existing ones. We feel honored to organize the 2009 PowerTech edition in the 125-anniversary year since IEEE founding. For the successful organization of the conference, besides the three co-organizers, namely University “Politehnica” of Bucharest, Romanian Power Grid Company Transelectrica S.A. and IEEE-PES Romania Chapter, a valuable support was offered by the Industries and Services Commission and Education Commission of the Chamber of Deputies of the Romanian Parliament, who facilitated to establish the conference venue at the Parliament Palace, the largest civilian administrative building in the world. The nowadays power systems are facing revolutionary changes regarding the power energy supply issue approach in the sense of improving the power system security and power quality, as well as environment protection. We are therefore witness of transformation from “passive networks” to “active networks”, following the advancements in telecommunications and computer science. A significant number of high level papers were submitted on actual topics such as: smart grids, renewable energy sources, WAMCS based surveillance strategies, power electronics based devices, energy efficiency, etc. This proves once again that PowerTech is the anchor conference of the IEEE Power & Energy Society in Europe, joining together each time a high 2009 IEEE Bucharest PowerTech number of power system engineers. It is not a coincidence that the Bucharest PowerTech's motto is “Innovative Ideas toward the Electrical Grid of the Future”. Out of the 825 abstracts submitted by authors from 65 countries all over the world,

3 after the two review processes, 538 papers have been selected for publication in the conference proceedings. As the PowerTech Conference provides a bridge between generations, the interest from students wishing to publish their work is strongly observed at least by the presence of over 26% of the papers having a student as the first author. I am happy that the Basil Papadias Award is an important ingredient for the future of the PowerTech Conference and also for the power systems engineering. My deep gratitude is addressed to all Corporate Sponsors who have financially supported us for organizing the conference in this economic crisis year. It is also my duty to address warm thanks to the members of the International Advisory Committee and the technical reviewers who have selected the best papers. Special acknowledgements are addressed to the Local Organizing Committee as well as to all volunteers who have contributed during the long period of the conference preparation.

I wish all of you a successful conference and a pleasant stay in Bucharest. Welcome Address Committees

Conference Location

Bucharest is the capital city and industrial and commercial centre of Romania. It is located in the southeast of the country and lies on the banks of the Dâþ mbovi a River. It is laden with historical charm from the streets of the Old City Center, to the grand architecture of the Royal Palace and the lush green of Cismigiu Park. In the period between the two World Wars, the city’s elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nicknameParis of the East or Little Paris . The city also claims a large number of museums, art galleries, exquisite Orthodox churches and unique architectural sites.

Conference Venue

Right in the historical and geographical center of Bucharest stands an impressive building that strikes the eye by its particular style. It is the Palace of the Romanian Parliament, a “giant” built during the “golden age”. The Guiness Book of World Records lists the building in second place according to its 330,000

67 11 78 sq.m. surface, that is after the Pentagon building. The Palace measures 270 m by 240 m, 86 m high, and 92 m under ground. It has 1,100 rooms, 2 underground parking garages, with four additional underground levels currently available and in use, with another four in different stages of completion. The structure combines elements and motifs from multiple sources, in an eclectic neoclassical architectural style. The building is constructed entirely of raw materials coming from different regions of

Romania. General Information General Information

TouristTours The accompanying persons and participants aside from the conference social activities and technical program could take advantage of their visit to Romania and enjoy the cultural, sightseeing and shopping opportunities. For this the following tours are available. For more information and registrations for excursions please check with the registration desk.

Bucharest Tour TheVillage Museum is one of the world most interesting ethnographical parks in open air. Founded in 1936 by Dimitrie Gusti, this museum illustrates the perpetual spring of surprising originality. The house and householding samples gathered from all regions of the country are exhibited according to ethnographical areas. The permanent exhibition of the museum, set out on a 2.5 acres ground, includes dwelling houses and annex constructions (stables, barns and storehouses, summer kitchens and granaries, stalls and hen coops), gates with archways, wells, crosses and wooden and stone roadside crucifixes, old wooden churches with pointed cupolas, artisan workshops and installations with popular industrial mechanisms, thus illustrating the achievements of the Romanian people in the fields of popular architecture and decorative art, as well as its technical-artisan’s ingenuity. The tour includes also the Parliament Palace and the National Museum ofArt of Romania (the Royal Palace).

Romanian monasteries No other place in the world holds, as Bucovina does, such a highly developed organic painting system; nowhere else in the whole world are there to be found

74 frescoes on both the interior and the exterior sides of the walls of churches which are drawn together within an area so small as if it were an open air museum. Moreover, no other place exhibits frescoes preserved so well as the monasteries, which lie at the foot of Bucovinan hillocks. The aesthetic value of those paintings goes well beyond their iconographic, cultural and historic significance, as they can undeniably be ranged among the greatest Byzantine or Renaissance works of art. In acknowledgement of their uniqueness the monasteries in Bucovina are now UNESCO protected cultural sites. In 1975, the International Federation of Writers and Journalists Specialized on Tourism have awarded Bucovina monasteries with the prestigiousPomme d’Or . June 28 - July 02 2009 IEEEBucharest PowerTech

Prahova Valley Sinaia – thePearl of the Carpathians – a resort situated at 125 km from Bucharest happily combines the values of a mountain and winter sports resort with the natural factors that are at the service of the human health and recovery. ThePeleº Castle is one of the most important museums, which combine various architectural styles, notably elements of the German and gothic Renaissance. It represents invaluable collections of art and furniture. Peleº Castle was the final resting place for several Romanian monarchs including King Carol I, King Ferdinand and Queen Maria. Bran Castle is a spectacular, medieval fortress, including a tentative connection with Price Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler – the origin of Dracula). The trip ends with the visit of Braº ov City.

Danube Delta The Danube Delta, a buffering interface between the Danube river catchments (805, 300 sq. km) and the Western Black Sea (5,165 sq. km) is a unique place not only in Europe, but also among other deltaic ecosystems due to its high biodiversity, to its renewable natural resources and to its beautiful scenery doubled by its cultural sites remnants and worth. The Danube Delta is a large scientific laboratory for a whole range of research-workers and explorers, whether ecologists, biologists,

75 botanists, zoologists, ornithologists, geologists, 11 geographers etc. as it is singles out by being: the youngest land in Europe (it grows larger by 40 m of land every year); the second largest delta in Europe (Volgais the first) and the 23rd in the world; a place where globally endangered and therefore rare species of birds are to be found, like Dalmatian pelicans, pygmy cormorants, red-breasted geese, or the Pelecanus crispus, the Pelecanus onocratslus, white Egretta, Egretta garzeta; a zone of fisheries covering some 90 species of fresh, brackish and salt water fishes, either sedentary or migratory, among which rare species like theAcipenseriadae; one of the fewest places in the world which shelter mammals like Mustella lutreola and

the otter (Lutra lutra). General Information Notes
