Analytic Methods for Power Systems Committee (AMPS)
Join Us
This is where it all happens! Anyone interested in learning more about the Analytical Methods for Power Systems (AMPS) Committee and helping advance the Committee’s work is welcome to attend. Join industry leaders to discuss the analytic and computational methods for electric power and energy. Volunteer and participate as much as possible.
Who We Are
The Analytic Methods for Power Systems (AMPS) Technical Committee is a standards developing committee of the IEEE Power & Energy Society. Our members are industry leaders, practitioners, students and academics with a common professional interest in analytic and computational methods for electric power and energy. Before the IEEE Power and Energy Society Technical Committee reorganization, effective July 2016, the AMPS Technical Committee and the majority of its subcommittees was referred to as the IEEE PES Technical Committee on Power System Analysis, Computing and Economics (PSACE).
Committee Scope
- Investigate modeling, analysis and solution methodologies, computational tools and techniques, and the effective application of computing and intelligent systems to the various operational, planning, economic, risk, and uncertainty assessment, management, and decision-making problems in bulk power and distribution systems. Initiate and coordinate studies, symposia, panel discussions, and tutorials related to the subjects of this area.
- Coordinate activities, where possible, with other groups on analytical models used in the study of system dynamic performance, system planning, system operations, and distribution system analysis. activities.

Subcommittees
Big Data Analytics Subcommittee (BDAS)
Scope: This subcommittee will bring together leaders from industry, academia, and government and meet regularly (both face-to-face meetings and Web-based conference calls) to define the architectural, computational, and practical challenges and opportunities brought by the emerging big data in the smart grid. The subcommittee will serve as a professional society hub to enable collective efforts towards defining a big data-driven grid operation roadmap.
