The 5th China International Conference on Electricity Distribution (CICED 2012) will be put on stage in Shanghai China in 5-6 September 2012 to discuss issues related to electricity distribution. Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in both the techniques and management philosophy for electricity distribution with an ideal application of a Smart Grid introduced at the Shanghai World Expo 2010. However, we are still confronted with a great many new problems in promoting Smart Grid, which press us ahead with efforts to search for solutions and develop new technologies and policies to bolster the growth of future distribution grids.
The CICED 2012 will bring together engineers, academicians, managers and regulators specialized in distribution grid from all around the world to exchanges ideas, discuss problems and share experiences and success stories. It will be a great event covering such topics as planning, design, construction, operation, management & regulation of distribution grids and equipment design and manufacturing.
The conference will also feature an exhibition displaying new products and equipments from many leading manufacturers. With leaders, academicians, and experts from power supply companies, scientific research institutes, design and consultancy organizations and universities around the world to be invited, the exhibition will also elaborate case studies of the achievements in smarter distribution and smarter home networks.
