CONFERENCE OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES
Restructuring or Deregulation involves unbundling and represents disaggregation of
power systems into the basic parts of generation, transmission and distribution from
vertical integrated structure. Restructuring of the Power Industry aims at abolishing the
monopoly in the generation and trading sectors, thereby, introducing competition at
various levels wherever possible. It allows consumers to choose the suppliers of Electrical
Energy.
In view of the Indian Power industry undergoing deregulation at a rapid rate, this
conference aims at making the targeted participants understand, design the most
appropriate market and suitable pricing schemes for the power sector .The aim of the
conference is to bring Power system Professionals, Engineers, faculties and research
scholars from various research institutes and organisations together and share their
experiences and challenges faced in the power industry. This conference is intended to
motivate the participants towards various real world power system issues.
