Please note that authors are fully responsible for the final paper requirements established by the 2018 IEEE PES ISGT Europe Conference. It is the author’s sole responsibility to assure that the final, conference ready manuscript is in the desired format and is satisfactory in every way.

STEP 2 – Add the copyright notice to the bottom of the first page:

Add the copyright notice to the bottom of the first page of your paper before creating a PDF. Copyright notice should be included at the bottom of the FIRST PAGE (LEFT in the footer section).
