Mission: To cover "technologies of sustainable energy systems relevant to the applications of power electronics, including principles, controls, components, apparatuses, systems, and networks."

Policy and Procedures     Join TC 5

 

Upcoming Meeting

ECCE 2023, Nashville, Tennessee

Programs and Services

  • Act as a technical/financial co-sponsor for the Asian Conference on Energy, Power, and Transportation Electrification (ACEPT) and the IEEE Conference on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy (CPERE)
  • Initiate and organize the annual IEEE International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (PEDG) and established best paper awards
  • Involved with PELS initiatives (e.g., Empower a Billion Lives (EBL), International Technology Roadmap of Power Electronics for Distributed Energy Systems (ITRD), International Technology Roadmap for Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductors (ITRW))
  • Propose and organize Special Issues for the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics (JESTPE) and Special Compendia for the IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics (OJPEL) in the areas of sustainable energy systems (SES), allowing authors to enhance papers presented at APEC, ECCE, and PEDG
  • Propose and organize Special Sessions in the areas of SES at ECCE
  • Provide technical podcasts and webinars on the latest SES topics
  • Provide Technical Program Committee Vice-Chairs and Session Chairs to manage the review of papers in the areas of SES at ECCE
