2026 Event Details

The planning committee of the annual Georgia Tech Protective Relaying Conference is pleased to issue a Call for Papers for the 2026 conference. Papers will be selected based on technical content, topical interest, and timeliness. While original papers will be given first preference, papers previously presented at other relay conferences and IEEE national meetings will be considered. Please indicate where and when the paper was previously presented. The emphasis of the conference is on operational practice and the application of new techniques and devices. Because the conference is a technical forum, company-specific and promotional materials are not acceptable.

The abstract submission site will open on June 1, 2025 and close on September 30, 2025 at midnight.

Please check back for additional details and the submission link on June 1, 2025.

Abstract Information

Prospective authors should follow these abstract submission guidelines: 

The recommended length is about half a page and should not exceed one page. To submit an abstract, authors should register on the conference website (available starting June 1, 2025). If submitting multiple abstracts, authors should register separately for each abstract. 

For each submission, the following information will be required:

  • Each author: name, organization, country, and e-mail
  • Abstract text (typed or pasted into provided box)
  • Password (of your choice)
  • Contact author: email and telephone number
  • Keywords 
     

Once the submission entry is completed, you will be provided with a submission number. Please save the submission number and password since this information will be needed later in order to upload your paper, bio, and presentation material, once the paper has been accepted.
