ANNOUNCEMENT & OBJECTIVE

In view of the ever increasing demand for electricity and the poor state of the distribution systems in developing countries, the management of distribution systems in developing countries is becoming increasingly important and urgent and urgent, compared to high voltage Transmission Systems. This is not only because of the large volume of the work involved in the distribution net works but also due to the need for modernization that has become essential, keeping in view the technologies that are developing in the peripheral fields like computers, communications, power electronics etc. As a matter of fact the voltage levels for the distribution systems which previously used to be 66 KV and below are also increasing due to the requirements of quqlity and quantity. 

Recent technological and industry developments that are leading to convergence and possibly bundling of services such as electricity supply and internet access call for a fresh look at the distribution management systems and the technologies involved. 

The reforms process in the electricity sector  that is sweeping through the emerging markets, likelihood of the unbundling of the utilities, their corporatisation and the general trend towards privatization of the distribution systems in the developing countries are some of the trends that have added to the importance of Distribution Management and its Regulation. 

Keeping in view the industry trends in  developing countries and their requirements, the following topics in the Seminar-cum-Workshop are to be discussed :-
