Call for Papers

The fourteenth Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies, North America (ISGT NA 2023), sponsored by the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES), will be held in Washington, D.C, on January 16 – 19, 2023 with the theme “Moving to a Self-Driving Grid”.

The electric power system is undergoing a fundamental transformation due to dramatic increase in deployments of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), increase in adoption of smart loads, regulatory changes and the emergence of new business models and grid services. These are driven primarily by the need for decarbonization, evolving customer needs, and need for flexible and resilient operation of the larger system. The changes are resulting in an enormous increase in the system complexity where the number of active control points in the grid is too high to be managed manually. Therefore, there is need for innovation in design, integration, operation, testing and evaluation of newer technologies and processes in order to enable and accelerate progress towards increased levels of automation. Additionally new structural and architectural constructs will be critical for allowing local decision-making which is a steppingstone in the transition to a “self-driving” grid.

It is important to discuss the different drivers, key enablers, new structures and advanced technologies that will help us move the needle on grid automation. ISGT NA 2023 is a forum to discuss the latest issues, trends, and innovative technologies for the self-driving grid of the future. The Conference will feature keynote and plenary sessions, panel sessions, and technical papers presented in poster sessions, as well as pre-conference tutorials.

Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of the most influential scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. The ranking has been meticulously developed by Research.com, a renowned platform for science research renowned for delivering trusted and authoritative data on scientific contributions since 2014. By leveraging expertise across all major scientific domains — including Engineering and Technology — Research.com provides valuable insights that support the global academic community.

Conference positions in this ranking are determined by an exclusive bibliometric score specifically created by Research.com. This score is calculated through a robust methodology utilizing the estimated h-index as well as the number of distinguished scientists who have contributed to each conference over the previous three years. Such a multifaceted approach ensures that the ranking reflects both the impact and the quality of scientific engagement at each event.

The Impact Score values featured in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the data remains relevant and up-to-date for researchers and academic stakeholders. The ranking process itself was exceptionally thorough, entailing a comprehensive examination of more than 2,262 conferences. Each conference was carefully selected following a detailed inspection and rigorous assessment involving a review of over 26,934 scientific documents published in the last three years by 9,385 leading and well-respected scientists specializing in Engineering and Technology.

For readers seeking an in-depth understanding of the intricate processes and analytical techniques underpinning the computation of ranking scores, complete details are available on our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Mohammad A. S. Masoum (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Yasuhiro Hayashi (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Manisa Pipattanasomporn (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Antonello Monti (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Saifur Rahman (16 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Electric Power Research Institute (80 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (76 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Tianjin University (59 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Tsinghua University (54 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Virginia Tech (53 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 11.76% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.10% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 9.05% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.29% of all publications and 58.57% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways
