IEEE PES Localized Technical Activities Committee (LTAC)
IEEE PES Localized Technical Activities Committee
Each Satellite Technical Committee (STC) of the IEEE Power & Energy Society promotes PES technical activities in a specific region and specific scope related to the overall scope of PES. STCs are typically but not necessarily aligned with a Technical Committee of the IEEE PES. The IEEE PES Satellite Technical Committees report to the IEEE PES Localized Technical Activities Committee, which reports to the IEEE PES Vice President of Technical Activities.

Types of Papers Published
The journal publishes three types of papers:
- Research papers
- Application papers
- Survey papers
Research papers are expected to present innovative solutions, new concepts and methodologies, original ideas or technology solutions resulting from a solid and sufficiently mature research work. In research papers it is essential that the authors clearly identify the novelty of their findings. An adequate survey of the most relevant publications in the same technical area should be provided in the introduction to highlight the novelty of the work with respect to the existing knowledge and literature. It is also necessary that results are supported by an appropriate validation. This can be achieved presenting tests on small-scale laboratory prototypes or full-scale apparatus, whenever possible, but there are instances where collecting experimental data is reasonably unfeasible or too challenging. In such cases accurate independent validations against numerical simulation results can be acceptable. The models and methodologies used for simulations, though, need to be clearly illustrated and, as a reviewer, you should pay special attention to their soundness and reliability. Finally, theoretical papers, including a significant amount of advanced mathematical or conceptual elaborations, are welcome on condition that authors demonstrate the actual or potential engineering application of their research – for instance through case studies or practical examples – as well as the technical soundness of final results.
Application papers are expected to illustrate the application of new technologies or report data, information and practical experiences collected on real systems or apparatus. These papers may not result from a research activity but need to provide very useful, complete and experimentally supported information which can be of high interest or strong help for researchers, practitioners or professionals working in the field. In this sense, contributions from the industry are particularly welcome. The readership expects that these papers provide a very detailed description of the products or processes to which the application refers, usually including pictures and schematics, and present complete experiments, measurements, statistics, on-field experiences and lessons learnt which can impact on a broad audience in the power engineering community. For application-oriented papers, discussions based on mere simulations or calculations are not sufficient and the authors are expected to clearly identify the interest of the material being presented in the context of currently existing applications or in view of new envisioned developments.
Survey papers (also known as review papers) are usually accepted upon invitation and should be written by highly authoritative experts in the field. They are expected to provide a clear, complete and up-to-date description of the state of the art, criticality analyses as well as future expected challenges and developments in a given technical area of interest for the journal readership. The quality of a review paper needs to be assessed very carefully because good surveys can attract many citations and strengthen the journal positioning in the paper field while poor surveys can be detrimental to the journal prestige. For this reason, review papers generally need a relatively high number of favourable reviews to be accepted for publication. One basic requirement for a good survey manuscript is that it should be comprehensible also by readers who are not experts in the fields, but simply interested in gaining a general up-to-date knowledge on the subject. It is also important that the state-of-the-art description be complete and such to cover all the latest cutting-edge advances as well as major criticalities, challenges and prospects, which implies an unusually large number of recent highly-relevant references.
In case you are interested in having an invitation to submit a survey paper in a given area, please send an email to the Editor-in-Chief with a complete description of your and your co-authors’ expertise and publication record in that area.
Each submission will be reviewed according to different criteria depending on which of the three categories it matches.
Peer Review
The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual (https://pspb.ieee.org/images/files/files/opsmanual.pdf). Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous or double-anonymous peer review process. For a single-anonymous peer review process, the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. For a double-anonymous peer review process, the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors and the identities of the authors are not known to the reviewers.
Open Access
This publication is a hybrid journal, allowing either Traditional manuscript submission or Open Access (author-pays OA) manuscript submission.
The OA option, if selected, enables unrestricted public access to the article via IEEE Xplore. The OA option will be offered to the author at the time the manuscript is accepted. If selected, the OA fee of $2,495 must be paid before the article is published in the journal. If you have unusual circumstances about this, please contact the Editor-in-Chief. Any other applicable charges (such as the overlength page charge and/or charge for the use of color in the print format) will be billed separately once the manuscript formatting is complete but prior to the publication.
The traditional option, if selected, enables access to all qualified subscribers and purchasers via IEEE Xplore. No OA payment is required.
