本交易的范圍包括一般工業、商業、公共和國內消費的發電、輸電和配電系統的要求、規劃、分析、可靠性、運行和經濟性。IEEE電力系統事務的主要焦點是從系統的角度而不是系統的組件來看的電力系統。它在其范圍內有五（5）個關鍵區域，每個區域內有幾個細分。這些領域包括：（1）電力工程教育，（2）電力系統分析、計算和經濟，（3）電力系統動態性能，（4）電力系統運行，（5）電力系統規劃和實施。這些領域的權限很廣，不需要頻繁更新。然而，如果一項新技術在行業中發展，需要特別關注，則相應領域的權限將更新為包括該技術，并且IEEE電力系統事務將其確定為一個新的細分。當前范圍和每個區域下的細分如下所示。區域1-電力工程教育：新的教學方法（軟件/互聯網/實驗室/與研究相結合）、虛擬教室/實驗室、遠程教育、終身學習。區域2-電力系統分析、計算和經濟學：規劃、運營和控制的計算技術和分析方法、計算應用、配電系統分析、經濟學、市場組織、成本結構、定價和風險管理、智能系統應用、可靠性、不確定性和概率以及隨機系統應用。區域3-電力系統動態性能：電力系統動態建模：組件和系統，電力系統穩定性：現象、分析和技術，電力系統穩定性控制：設計和應用，電力系統動態測量，電力系統與渦輪發電機的交互，動態安全評估：技術和應用，基于風險的方法。區域4-電力系統運營：重組系統、輸電運營和安全、能源控制中心、配電運營、系統控制、運營經濟和定價的新興方法。區域5-電力系統規劃和實施：發電系統資源規劃、輸電系統規劃、配電系統規劃、綜合資源規劃和分布式資源規劃、負荷預測、客戶產品和服務規劃和實施。產業結構調整規劃與政策問題。

The scope of this Transactions covers the requirements, planning, analysis, reliability, operation, and economics of electric generating, transmission, and distribution systems for general industrial, commercial, public, and domestic consumption. The main focus of the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems is the power system from a systems viewpoint instead of components of the system. It has five (5) key areas within its scope with several subdivisions within each area. These areas are: (1) Power Engineering Education, (2) Power System Analysis, Computing, and Economics, (3) Power System Dynamic Performance, (4) Power System Operations, and (5) Power System Planning and Implementation. The purviews of these areas are broad and do not need frequent updates. However, if a new technology evolves in the industry and it needs specific focus, the purview of the corresponding area is updated to include the technology and the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems identifies it as a new subdivision. The current scope and the subdivisions under each area are shown below. Area 1 - Power Engineering Education: New instruction methods (software/internet/laboratory/combined with research), Virtual classrooms/laboratories, Distance education, Life-long learning. Area 2 - Power System Analysis, Computing, and Economics: Computational techniques and analytical methods for planning, operations and control, Computing applications, Distribution system analysis, Economics, market organization, cost structures, pricing and risk management, Intelligent system applications, Reliability, uncertainty and probability and stochastic system applications. Area 3 - Power System Dynamic Performance: Power system dynamic modeling: components and systems, Power system stability: phenomena, analysis, and techniques, Power system stability controls: design and applications, Power system dynamic measurements, Power system interaction with turbine generators, Dynamic security assessment: techniques and applications, risk-based methods. Area 4 - Power System Operations: Emerging methods for restructured systems, Transmission operations and security, Energy control centers, Distribution operation, System control, Operating economics and pricing. Area 5 - Power System Planning & Implementation: Generation system resource planning, Transmission system planning, Distribution system planning, Integrated resource planning and distributed resource planning, Load forecasting, Customer products and services planning and implementation. Industry restructuring planning and policy issue.
