Power system is undergoing tremendous developments such as integration of more
and more renewable energy resources, advancements in power electronic interfaces,
energy efficiency measures, control and introduction of more intelligence in the
grid. This book constitutes selected high-quality papers presented in the Second
International Conference on Power Engineering, Computing and CONtrol,
PECCON 2019, during 12 to 14 December 2019. The main theme of PECCON
2019 is “smart technology for smart grid”. The conference provided a forum for
practising professionals, academicians, research scholars and students to exchange
their innovative ideas, inferences and knowledge gathered through rigorous
experiments. This book volume consists of 42 papers and is organized into four
parts—Power Engineering, ICT Technologies, Data Science and Analytics, and
Smart Eco Structures Systems. This book will be useful to the researchers, academicians, students and professionals working in the field as well as R&D organizations in the domain of electrical power and energy infrastructure.
We, the editors of this book, are thankful to all the authors who have contributed
to the paper submission. We also thank all the reviewers and technical committee
members for providing their valuable comments on time and help towards the
improvement of the quality of papers presented in the conference. We also thank
members of advisory board and session chairs for their valuable comments. Our
special thanks to Series Editors, Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, Springer,
for giving us the opportunity to publish this edited volume in the series.
