Call for Papers: PEDG June 2018, Charlotte, NC USA
Home to some of the largest and most diverse energy-related companies, and more than 30,000 energy industry professionals, Charlotte has been dubbed the “New Energy Capital” of North America. It will also be the destination for the 9th International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (PEDG 2018).
The symposium, sponsored by IEEE Power Electronics Society and organized by the PELS Technical Committee on Sustainable Energy Systems will provide a venue for power electronics experts to present the results of their cutting-edge research and learn what is in store for the future of the electric power grid. PEDG 2018 will feature keynote speeches, tutorials, and regular technical sessions on theory, analysis, design and development, testing, deployment and impact of power electronics for distributed generation, energy storage, and sustainable energy resources.
Submission of Papers
Prospective participants are invited to submit an extended abstract of their original work. The document should be in English and should not exceed five singlecolumn double-spaced pages. The submitted abstracts will be subjected to a peer-review process. Detailed instructions on preparation of the abstracts and the submission process will be available on the symposium website.
