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. The document 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, or references. 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. The thesaurus is posted at http://www.ieeeorganizations/pubs/ani_prod/keywrd98.txt. It is also available by sending an e-mail (with no message necessary) to <keywords[at]ieee.org>. 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.
II. INTRODUCTION

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, and acronyms. 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.ieeepower, or the PES Executive Office, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, USA, phone: +1 732 562 3883, fax: +1 732 562 3881, e-mail: pes[at]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.
III. TECHNICAL WORK PREPARATION
Please use automatic hyphenation and check your spelling. Additionally, be sure your sentences are complete and that there is continuity within your paragraphs. Check the numbering of your graphics (figures and tables) and make sure that all appropriate references are included.
A. 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 the document, 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.
B. Format
If you 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 may not extend into the margins). The column width is 88.9 millimeters (3.5 inches or 21 picas). The space between the two columns is 4.2 millimeters (0.17 inch or 1 pica). Paragraph indentation is 4.2 millimeters (0.17 inch or 1 pica). Use full justification. Use either one or two spaces between sections, and between text and tables or figures, to adjust the column length.
C. Typefaces and Sizes
Please use a proportional serif typeface such as Times Roman or Times New Roman and embed all fonts. (See your software’s “Help” section if you do not know how to embed fonts.) Table I provides samples of the appropriate type sizes and styles to use.
D. Section Headings
A primary section heading is enumerated by a Roman numeral followed by a period and is centered above the text. A primary heading should be in capital letters.
A secondary section heading is enumerated by a capital letter followed by a period and is flush left above the section. The first letter of each important word is capitalized and the heading is italicized.
A tertiary section heading is enumerated by an arabic numeral followed by a parenthesis. It is indented and is followed by a colon. The first letter of each important word is capitalized and the heading is italicized.
A quaternary section heading is rarely necessary, but is perfectly acceptable if required. It is enumerated by a lowercase letter followed by a parenthesis. It is indented and is followed by a colon. Only the first letter of the heading is capitalized and the heading is italicized.
E. Figures and Tables
Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Try to use words rather than symbols. As an example, write the quantity "Magnetization," or "Magnetization, M," not just M." Put units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. As in Fig. 1, write "Magnetization (kA/m)" or "Magnetization (kA•m-1)," not just "kA/m." Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write "Temperature (K)," not "Temperature/K." Figure labels should be legible, approximately 8- to 10-point type.
Large figures and tables may span both columns, but may not extend into the page margins. Figure captions should be below the figures; table captions should be above the tables. Do not put captions in "text boxes" linked to the figures. Do not put borders around your figures.
