Objective
PMAPS - Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems, is the acronym for a series of prestigious Conferences. Its format was conceived 18 years ago and intended the promotion of probabilistic modelling in Power Systems problems. At the time, most utilities were dedicating effort to deterministic models, and while researchers had proved the superiority of probabilistic and stochastic approaches (from hydropower modelling to reliability studies), engineering practice was still resilient to their adoption. New problems, such as related with Power Markets and de-regulation, have emerged. New tools also: the Fuzzy Set Theory emerged as a powerful tool for new ways of understanding uncertainty. Also intelligent tools and modern heuristics (such as evolutionary computing) are now credible and at hand. All of these are topics of PMAPS'2000: it will be the 6th conference of a series, but will be the first to acknowledge this and therefore to encompass in its scope all ways of dealing with uncertainty.
The originality of PMAPS '2000 proposal is that it is not a Conference focused on one area of application, but rather a meeting of people involved in a diversity of activities but who share common tools to deal with a common problem - uncertainty. In this sense, the Conference is largely multidisciplinary, for it may join Civil and Electrical Engineers, Economists and Power Utility Managers, as well as scientists in pure and applied fields: a ground for cross-fertilization becomes available. The Conference therefore aims at stimulating research into modelling uncertainty, and at stimulating utilities to adopt more advanced models. This is extremely timely, given the deep changes and challenges put to the Power Sector in the EU countries, with processes of privatization and de-regulation in course, and the establishment and consolidation of Regulating Entities - and given the lack of tradition in Europe to research and discuss such new problems with the depth usual in the USA.
