IEEE Modeling and Control Technical Achievement Award

The IEEE Modeling and Control Technical Achievement Award of the IEEE Power Electronics Society was established in 2012 to honor innovators and researchers who have made outstanding and sustained technical contributions to the advancement of power electronics in the area of modeling and control.  The award is administrated by the PELS Technical Committee on Power and Control Core Technologies and would be made annually.  The Award Committee hereby solicits nominations for any award.  The award recipient has to be an active IEEE member; there are no other restrictions as to nationality, age, gender, or IEEE member grade.  The award is to be presented annually at COMPEL.  The award recipient will receive an honorarium of US $1500, a suitably engraved plaque, and an award certificate.  

The criteria established for this award include:

  • Quality of technical achievement and contribution to the field
  • Enhancement of technology
  • Impact on the relevant technical community and the profession
  • Benefit to society
  • The quality of the nomination

The IEEE PELS Society Awards Application System submission site will open on 1 January 2021.  If you have any questions, please send them to PELS Awards Committee via pels-awards-nomination@ieee.org.
