The purpose of the North American Power Symposium is to stimulate advanced scholarly work and more research activity in the field of electric power engineering. This symposium is to be a forum where advanced students, their academic advisors, and practicing engineers can present the results of their work, discuss the activities of their colleagues, and publish their technical accomplishments with a minimum time delay.
NAPS 2002 included a day and a half of sessions devoted to contributed papers. Papers on all areas of Electric Power Engineering were sought.
NAPS 2002 featured:
The Symposium was hosted by Arizona State University in cooperation with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES).

Arizona State University (ASU) is the fourth largest university in the United States. The university is located on an unusual campus featuring an arboretum, and both classic and modern architecture -- in Tempe, which is immediately adjacent to Phoenix, the state capital. There are several museums and galleries located on the ASU campus. Power engineering is an important component of the Electrical Engineering program at ASU with eight power area professors and approximately 35 graduate researchers. The annual research budget is about 1.5 M$/year. Laboratory facilities are located in the Engineering Research Center (ERC) where three high voltage facilities and two power electronics laboratories are located. A power instrumentation and power computation facility is also located in the ERC building. The ASU Electric Power Program is a member of the Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC).
The Phoenix metro area, population 2 million, known as the Valley of the Sun, is a fast growth community situated in south central Arizona. Nearby points of interest include: Desert Botanical Garden, South Mountain Park (about 3 miles), old Scottsdale (about 5 miles), Roosevelt Dam and Lake (60 miles), Meteor Crater (190 miles), Mexico (about 175 miles), Grand Canyon National Park (240 miles), Monument Valley and the Navajo Nation (185 miles), Canyon de Chelly National Monument (280 miles), OK Corral in Tombstone (180 miles), Kitt Peak National Observatory, the original London Bridge (215 miles), Montezuma Castle National Monument (cliff dwelling). Numerous national monuments, parks, and forests are located in the high desert to the north of Phoenix -- and many old mining community and ghost towns can be found throughout Arizona. Further information is available from the Arizona Office of Tourism and Arizona Highways. Any time of the year is the tourist season in Arizona, and reservations are recommended for hotels.
