Preparation of a Formatted Technical Work for the IEEE Power Engineering Society
J. W. Hagge, Senior Member, IEEE, and L. L. Grigsby, Fellow, IEEE

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 (inclusive of this abstract) and can be used as a template. Thedocument contains information regarding desktop publishing format, type sizes, and typefaces. Style rules are provided that explain how to handle equations, units, figures, tables, abbreviations, and acronyms. Sections are also devoted to the preparation of acknowledgments, references, and authors' biographies. The abstract is limited to 150 words and cannot contain equations, figures, tables, orreferences. It should concisely state what was done, how it was done, principal results, and their significance.

Index Terms--The author shall provide up to 10 keywords (in alphabetical order) to help identify the major topics of the paper. The thesaurus of IEEE indexing keywords should be referenced prior to selecting the keywords to ensure that the words selected are acceptable. Thethesaurus is posted at http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/ani_prod/keywrd98.txt. It is also available by sending an e-mail (with no message necessary) to . A large ASCII file of the keywords (220 kb, approximately 55 pages) will be returned to you via e-mail. Before using this option, be sure your local e-mail has the capacity to receive a file as large as this one.

Nomenclature

A nomenclaturelist, if needed, should precede the Introduction.

Introduction

T
HIS document provides an example of the desired layout for a PES technical work and can be used as a Microsoft Word template. It contains information regarding desktop publishing format, type sizes, and typefaces. Style rules are provided that explain how to handle equations, units, figures, tables, abbreviations, andacronyms. Sections are also devoted to the preparation of acknowledgments, references, and authors’ biographies. For additional information including electronic file requirements for text and graphics, please refer to the IEEE Power Engineering Society Author’s Kit. The kit may be obtained from the PES web site at http://www.ieee.org/power, or the PES Executive Office, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ08855-1331, USA, phone: +1 732 562 3883, fax: +1 732 562 3881, e-mail: pes@ieee.org. The PES Author's Kit also contains a Session Summary Submission Cover Sheet, a Discussion Submission Cover Sheet, and an IEEE Copyright Form.

Technical Work Preparation

Please use automatic hyphenation and check your spelling. Additionally, be sure your sentences are complete and that there is continuity withinyour paragraphs. Check the numbering of your graphics (figures and tables) and make sure that all appropriate references are included.

1 Template

This document may be used as a template for preparing your technical work. When you open the file, select "Page Layout" from the "View" menu (View | Page Layout), which allows you to see the footnotes. You may then type over sections of thedocument, cut and paste into it (Edit | Paste Special | Unformatted Text), and/or use markup styles. The pull-down style menu is at the left of the Formatting Toolbar at the top of your Word window (for example, the style at this point in the document is "Text"). Highlight a section that you want to designate with a certain style, then select the appropriate name on the style menu.

2 Format

Ifyou choose not to use this document as a template, prepare your technical work in single-spaced, double-column format, on paper 21.6×27.9 centimeters (8.5×11 inches or 51×66 picas). Set top and bottom margins to 16.9 millimeters (0.67 inch or 4 picas) and left and right margins to about 16.9 millimeters (0.67 inch or 4 picas). Do not violate margins (i.e., text, tables, figures, and equations...
