APEC - As The Premier Event in Applied Power Electronics™, APEC focuses on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. This is not just a designer's conference, APEC has something of interest for anyone involved in power electronics.

COMPEL - COMPEL brings together practicing engineers as well as industrial, governmental, and academic researchers for interactive discussions on the latest advances in analysis, modeling and control of power electronics. Special emphasis in COMPEL will be on advanced controls of switched-mode power converters, integrated circuits for smart power control and power management, as well as analysis, modeling and control of power electronics in energy efficiency and renewable energy applications. The workshop includes presentation and poster sessions, as well as hands-on software and hardware demonstrations presented by participants.

ECCE - ECCE is the premier IEEE conference for electric machines, industrial drives, and power electronic converters and devices. This new conference combines the former IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC) with the Industrial Power Conversion Systems Department (Electrical Machines Committee, Industrial Drives Committee, Industrial Power Converter Committee and the Power Electronics Devices and Components Committee) of the IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting.

Energy Conversion Congress & Expo (ECCE) will provide a forum for the exchange of information among practicing professionals in the energy conversion business. The emphasis is to bring together the users and researchers of energy conversion systems and sub systems with emphasis on the technical content of the papers and on the quality of the exposition. The scope of the conference include all technical aspects of the design, manufacture, application and marketing of devices, circuits, and systems related to electrical energy conversion technology.

INTELEC - INTELEC is an annual conference which examines and analyzes the latest developments in communications energy systems and related power processing devices and circuits. Presentations include new developments in power electronics and telecommunications power systems, including DC power plants, powering architectures, AC systems, DC-DC converters, batteries, prime power systems, grounding, physical and thermal design, alternative power (engines, fuel cells, etc) and building and equipment cooling systems.

VPPC - VPPC is co-sponsored by IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS). The conference aims to provide a forum for sharing knowledge, experience and creative ideas in vehicle power and propulsion in order to develop and promote "clean technology" for future transportation systems. VPPC is organized in a carbon care philosophy. We will try to reduce the conference ecological footprint. The CO2 emissions associated with the travel of attendees will be compensated by funding carbon reduction projects.

2009 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics for Hardware-in-the-Loop Systems

Grant Pitel — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:46:00 +0000

September 11, 2009
Catalonia Barcelona Plaza Hotel
Plaza España, 6-8, 08014 Barcelona, Spain
Organized by
IEEE PELS Technical Committee on Simulation, Modeling and Control

The workshop was organized as a forum to discuss the emerging applications of power electronics in hardware-in-the-loop systems. Recent years have seen active research on the development of electrical machine simulators for testing of variable-speed drives. There is also ongoing research on the simulation of fuel cells, solar panels, and utility grids by using power electronics and for renewable energy, smart grid, and other applications. Besides, the power electronics industry has been producing programmable electronic sources and loads as test equipment for different applications including automotive, aerospace, and microelectronics. The underlying common technical challenge for these applications is programmable, wide bandwidth control that enables the simulation of complex physical device and system behavior over a broad frequency range.

The objective of this workshop was to bring together researchers with interests in this area to assess the state of the art, identify existing technical barriers, and develop international collaborations for future research. The workshop was sponsored by IEEE PELS, and was organized by the PELS Technical Committee on Simulation, Modeling and Control.
