Minimal content; Title, authors, affiliation, abstract, keywords, introduction, proposed approach, conclusion and references (even from previous works of your own).
Recommended content; Minimal content plus; relevant previous research, standards involved, methods, models, simulations, validations, pictures, tables, calculus, and results.
Using the pg4 PES template, please check US Letter (8.5" x 11") or A4 (210mm X 297mm) page sheet margins and widths;
1) US Letter Margins: top = 0.75 inches, bottom = 1 inch, side = 0.625 inches. Each column measures 3.5 inches wide, with a 0.25-inch measurement between the columns.
2) A4 Margins: top = 19 mm, bottom = 43 mm, side = 13 mm. The A4 column width is 88 mm (3.45 in). The space between the two columns is 4 mm (0.17 mm). Paragraph indentation is 3.5 mm (0.14 in).
All this within a lenght of 3 to 4 pages, exported as Adobe (.pdf) PDF/A-1 file format.

What will peer reviewers look at your paper?
The reviewer of a Proceedings paper has the responsibility to determine if the paper will impart practical, usable information of contemporary interest to the industry. The subject need not be unique or unprecedented, though the theme should be in general keeping with the goals of the meeting for which the paper is submitted. Regardless of the quality of the paper, a paper must be rejected if it exceeds the six-page limit, inclusive of references. Reviewers are ultimately responsible to the Authors and the invisible college of our readership for ensuring that the content of the Conference Proceedings represents the evolution and progress of our discipline. We need their assistance to accomplish this task.
Acceptance or Rejection
Proceedings papers are published as part of the 2015 ISGT-LA Conference Proceedings. In addition to meeting the criteria outlined above, a Proceedings paper will only be accepted for the meeting if it:
•is submitted in keeping with the published schedules
•is submitted in the required formats with the required paperwork
•addresses the Smart Grid Topic in an appropriate manner
•is of a technical rather than commercial nature
•is more than simply a restatement of well-known technology
•is judged to exceed a qualitative criterion of being elementary or trivial in its presentation
•does not exceed the six-page limit
•comply with the IEEE policy regarding plagiarism

ISGT´s Conference Series History:
In 2010, the IEEE Power & Energy Society launched a new conference called Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (ISGT) with a first meeting in January at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Conference Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. The unqualified success of the first conference and numerous requests for more inspired PES to establish ISGT as a Conference Series, and to broaden the scope of the conference to include annual offerings in the USA, and international installations which have included ISGT Conferences in Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
