Authors are requested to mail the soft copy of full length paper to: icseg@kluniversity.in Conference Theme The ever increasing supply- demand mismatch in quantity of electrical power and the need for better quality of power have been in focus in electrical engineering research. The increased use of renewable energy resources, while reducing the green-house gases, has created micro-grids and opened up considerable avenues and challenges for pursuing research in electrical power and power electronics areas. K L University The K L University is situated in a spacious 60-acre campus on the banks of Buckingham canal of river Krishna near Vijayawada city in the emerging capital region of Amaravati.The KL University is a pioneer in the field of education and research. It was established as K L College of Engineering in year 1980. The college was made autonomous in the year 2006 and accorded the status of a deemed university in 2009. The university offers 10 B.Tech programs in engineering, three in non-engineering stream, 11 fiveyear integrated degree programs and twelve 2-year M.Tech programs. It also offers full-time/ part-time Ph.D programs in engineering/ commerce/ management and sciences. The University has five laboratories built in collaboration with industrial organizations like IBM. Microsoft, CISCO, Oracle and Altair Engg. It has four advanced research centers on Robotics, Embedded Systems, Bio-processing and Microwave & Antennas with a view to train the young to become highly qualified and innovative engineers. The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering has highly qualified and experienced faculty. The department offers B.Tech and M.Tech programmes with specialization in Power Systems and in Power Electronics & Electrical Drives. The department also offers part-time and fulltime Ph.D programme where over 120 scholars are working on topics with wide research base. The Conference The department of EEE of K L University planned conducting International Conference on Smart Electric Grid once every two years with the first one conducted in the year 2014 with the participation of eminent academicians from India and abroad. Like the first conference, the second one too is expected to attract from eminent researchers quality research papers in the areas of reliable and resilient power generation, transmission and distribution. Call for Papers Prospective authors are invited to submit full length original manuscripts limited to 6 pages (which have not been submitted or published elsewhere in other conferences / journals) in single column, double line spacing, 10-point font in A4 size paper.
