1 – Welcome and introduction of attendees

The Chair welcomed everyone present in the meeting and each attendee introduced

him/herself. The attendance list is in annex; 24 people attended the meeting, fully or

partially; their signatures, affiliation and email contacts are registered in the attendance

list.

2 – Approval of the minutes of the IDMA Working Group meeting at IEEE PES GM

2013 in Vancouver

The minutes were approved unanimously.

3 – Publications and panel session organization

As previously decided, a proposal of a special issue on “Intelligent Data Mining and

Analysis Applications in Smart Grids” has been submitted to the IEEE Transactions on

Smart Grid. Zita Vale, Ganesh Kumar Venayagamoorthy, Germano Lambert-Torres and

Hiroyuki Mori are in charge of this task.

The panel “Data Mining for Power Market Regulatory Issues” proposed to the IEEE

PES GM 2014 has been accepted and will take place on Tuesday, July 29, 2014, from

1:00 PM to 03:00 PM in Room Magnolia 3 at Gaylord National Resort & Convention

Center on the Potomac, National Harbor, MD.

The organization of panels in future conferences has been discussed, considering the

decisions taken in previous meetings and the currently most relevant topics. It was

IDMA WG Meeting, Vancouver, 2013 ANNEX – Page 2 of 3

decided to propose a panel with the following tentative title “From smart metering and

PMU data to intelligent power and energy management” to be held in the scope of IEEE

PES GM 2015.

Other panel sessions concerning the following topics:

- Smart metering and big data

- Data quality, integration, and standards in smart grids

- Cibersecurity, privacy, and big data in smart grids

will be considered for other IEEE conferences, namely IEEE PES T&D, IEEE ISGT

and others in the area.

Cooperation with other conferences will also be targeted, namely ISAP and ASME (The

American Society of Mechanical Engineers) conference. These possibilities depend on

the working group members’ participation in those conferences and their availability to

organize the panel sessions.

The working group will intensify the efforts to ensure a good industrial contribution to

the panel sessions being organized. This is presently easier than before as IEEE PES

conferences are not requiring any longer that full papers are submitted by each of the

panellists. The working group will confirm if this rule applies to all the targeted

conferences.

4 – Working group website

Working group members are encouraged to contribute to the material published in the

working group webpage by sending suggestions of relevant information to be included

(please email them to zav@isep.ipp.pt or to email.zitavale@gmail.com).

Some topics to be considered:

- include a link to the working group webpage in the working group members personal

and/or institutional webpages

- include in the working group webpage new material such as: call for papers, dates for

relevant meetings and panel advertisement.

5 – Study and use cases for data mining applications in power and energy systems Task

Force

The task force has not been considered to start operating due to the on going

reorganization of the PES commitees, subcommittees, working groups and task forces.

Activities concerning use cases and data sets for data mining applications in power and

energy systems will continue to be undertaken in the scope of the IDMA working

group. The working group members are requested to contribute with new inputs to the

data sets published in the working group web site (http://sites.ieee.org/psace-idma/data-

sets/).

6 – Discussion concerning other WG activities

The reorganization of the PSACE subcommitees and their respective working groups

are likely to include the merging of IDMA working group and the CAMS task force on

IDMA WG Meeting, Vancouver, 2013 ANNEX – Page 3 of 3

“Big Data Driven Analytics for Smart Grid Operations” into a new working group,

directly under PSACE. Due to time restrictions, no more topics have been discussed.

7 – Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 01:00 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Zita Vale
