description	Normalize terminology, acronyms, units, and journal-scope wording for IEEE PES power systems and smart grid manuscripts. Use for TPWRS/TSG papers involving OPF, power flow, DER, EV, PMU, AMI, microgrids, active distribution networks, demand response, reliability, resilience, and cyber-physical power systems.

IEEE Power Terminology

Use this skill before manuscript polishing, figure captions, keywords, and final submission checks. The goal is not to homogenize every phrase; it is to remove ambiguous, local, or nonstandard wording that can distract IEEE reviewers.

Workflow

1. Identify target journal: TPWRS, TSG, or general IEEE PES.
2. Scan for acronym definitions on first use.
3. Normalize common power-engineering terms conservatively.
4. Check that smart-grid language is tied to microgrids, ADNs, DER/EV integration, AMI, distribution PMUs, cyber-physical security, or data analytics when targeting TSG.
5. Preserve author-specific notation unless it conflicts with standard usage.
6. Return revised text plus an audit list of replacements.

Common replacements

Avoid	Prefer
load flow calculation	power flow analysis
micro-grid	microgrid
charging piles	EV chargers
renewable energies	renewable energy resources
optimal powerflow	optimal power flow
distribution network	distribution system

Script

For plain text files inside the repository:

python -m ieee_skills normalize draft.txt --output draft.normalized.txt

If the package is not installed, use scripts/normalize_terms.py for a small standalone fallback.
