Abstract--Basic guidelines for the preparation of a technical

work for the IEEE Power Engineering Society are presented.

This document is itself an example of the desired layout
(inclusie of this a!stract" and can !e used as a template. The
document contains information regarding desktop pu!lishing
format# type si$es# and typefaces. Style rules are proided that
explain how to handle e%uations# units# figures# ta!les#
a!!reiations# and acronyms. Sections are also deoted to the
preparation of acknowledgments# references# and authors&
!iographies. The a!stract is limited to '() words and cannot
contain e%uations# figures# ta!les# or references. It should
concisely state what was done# how it was done# principal
results# and their significance.
Index Terms--The author shall proide up to ') keywords (in
alpha!etical order" to help identify the ma*or topics of the
paper. The thesaurus of IEEE indexing keywords should !e
referenced prior to selecting the keywords to ensure that the
words selected are accepta!le. The thesaurus is posted at
http+,,www.ieee.org,organi$ations,pu!s,ani-prod,keywrd./.txt.
It is also aaila!le !y sending an e-mail (with no message
necessary" to 0keywords1ieee.org2. 3 large 3S4II file of the
keywords (55) k!# approximately (( pages" will !e returned to

A primar$ headin, should (e in capital letters.
A secondar$ section headin, is enumerated ($ a capital
letter follo&ed ($ a period and is flush left a(o"e the section.
The first letter of each important &ord is capitali-ed and the
headin, is italici-ed.
A tertiar$ section headin, is enumerated ($ an ara(ic
numeral follo&ed ($ a parenthesis. It is indented and is
follo&ed ($ a colon. The first letter of each important &ord is
capitali-ed and the headin, is italici-ed.
A .uaternar$ section headin, is rarel$ necessar$, (ut is

Do not put captions in Gte#t (o#esG lin'ed to the fi,ures. Do
not put (orders around $our fi,ures.

A"oid placin, fi,ures and ta(les (efore their first mention

Di,iti-e $our ta(les and fi,ures. To insert ima,es in )ord,
use Insert I %icture I 0rom 0ile.
F. %umbering
Num(er reference citations consecuti"el$ in s.uare
(rac'ets O9P. The sentence punctuation follo&s the (rac'ets
O@P. Multiple references O@P, O:P are each num(ered &ith
separate (rac'ets O9P8O:P. Refer simpl$ to the reference
num(er, as in O:P. Do not use GRef. O:PG or Greference O:PG
e#cept at the (e,innin, of a sentence; GReference O:P
sho&sQ.G
Num(er footnotes separatel$ &ith superscripts AInsert I
0ootnoteB. %lace the actual footnote at the (ottom of the
column in &hich it is cited. Do not put footnotes in the
reference list. Use letters for ta(le footnotes.
Use ara(ic numerals for fi,ures and Roman numerals for
ta(les. Appendi# fi,ures and ta(les should (e num(ered
consecuti"el$ &ith the fi,ures and ta(les appearin, in the rest
of the paper. The$ should not ha"e their o&n num(erin,
s$stem.
G. &nits
Metric units are preferred for use in IEEE pu(lications in
li,ht of their ,lo(al readership and the inherent con"enience
of these units in man$ fields. In particular, the use of the
International !$stem of Units A!$steme Internationale
d1Unites or !I UnitsB is ad"ocated. This s$stem includes a
su(s$stem of units (ased on the meter, 'ilo,ram, second, and
ampere AM2!AB. ?ritish units ma$ (e used as secondar$
units Ain parenthesesB. An e#ception is &hen ?ritish units are
used as identifiers in trade, such as :.58inch dis' dri"e.
$. Abbre'iations and Acronyms
Define less common a((re"iations and acron$ms the first
time the$ are used in the te#t, e"en after the$ ha"e (een
@
defined in the a(stract. A((re"iations such as IEEE, !I, M2!,
C>!, ac, dc, and rms do not ha"e to (e defined. Do not use
a((re"iations in the title unless the$ are una"oida(le.
!ee Appendi# A of the Publication Guide for additional
information and standard a((re"iations.
I. !at( and E)uations
Use either the Microsoft E.uation Editor or the !at(Type
commercial add8on for M! )ord for all math o(Dects in $our
paper AInsert I O(Dect I Create Ne& I Microsoft E.uation or
MathT$pe E.uationB. G0loat o"er te#tG should not (e selected.
To ma'e $our e.uations more compact, $ou ma$ use the
solidus A 3 B, the e#p function, or appropriate e#ponents.
Italici-e Roman s$m(ols for .uantities and "aria(les, (ut not
>ree' s$m(ols. Use a lon, dash rather than a h$phen for a
minus si,n. Use parentheses to a"oid am(i,uities in
denominators.
Num(er e.uations consecuti"el$ &ith e.uation num(ers in
parentheses flush &ith the ri,ht mar,in, as in A9B. ?e sure
that the s$m(ols in $our e.uation ha"e (een defined (efore
the e.uation appears or immediatel$ follo&in,.

References are important to the readerN therefore, each
citation must (e complete and correct. There is no editorial
chec' on referencesN therefore, an incomplete or &ron,
reference &ill (e pu(lished unless cau,ht ($ a re"ie&er or
discusser and &ill detract from the authorit$ and "alue of the
paper. References should (e readil$ a"aila(le pu(lications.
List onl$ one reference per reference num(er. If a reference
is a"aila(le from t&o sources, each should (e listed as a
