IEEE PES Conference POWERCON2008, the sixth in the series and 2008 IEEE Power India Conference, the third in the series will provide mainly an opportunity to the practicing Engineers, Academicians and Researchers to meet in a forum to discuss various issues in power system technology with a changed scenario under restructuring for the planning, application of technological advancements, control, operation and maintenance of power system with its components with the object of achieving utmost economy in delivering electricity of proper quality and adequately as needed towards fulfillment of aspirations of people of various countries in this part of the globe. Rich experience of some in harnessing the power potential of one kind or other, managing its transmission through large integrated network and distribution for optimum utilization at load centers can be a showcase for others in the years to follow. Experience gained when disseminated can provide insight to avoid costly mistakes in the future course of action. So not only success stories are important, but also knowledge of failure and possible reasons is essential to take appropriate preventive measures in time to avert reaching undesirable end-of-the-road in the progress. While indigenous development to suit the local need is definitely worth encouragement, adoption of new technologies innovated somewhere else to suit the need of the place of application is a task in itself. After all the spirit of competition and moving forward to progress being the motto, quicker it is better it is. The conference will also focus on new development trend such as distributed generation, renewable energy sources from the point of view of environmental impact and efficient use of electrical energy through improvement in design and performance of machines, drives and other devices deployed in industries.
