Welcome back to the land of wind and green energy! After a successful EPE ECCE Europe conference in 2007, the Power Electronics community will gather again in Aalborg, Denmark, from September 4 to 8, 2023, to exchange views on research progress and technological developments in the various topics described hereunder. On Monday, September 4th, several tutorials will be organized, and some exciting technical visits are planned for Friday, September 8th. The 25th Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (and Exhibition), EPE ’23 ECCE Europe (Energy Conversion Congress and Expo Europe) is co-sponsored by the EPE Association and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS).

The conference will take place at the AKKC – The Aalborg Congress and Culture Center, in Aalborg, Denmark. (Info at http://akkc.dk)

Topics

Electrification of society is progressing fast, also pushed by the recent demands at the environmental level, both in terms of reduction of CO2 emissions and energy-production sustainability. Novel battery systems are being developed not only for drones, passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicle applications, but also for stationary storage applications. For vehicle applications, high-power charging sta-tions are being developed to reduce charging time. Bidirectional V2X charging systems allow for better grid management and, when combined with smart charging, for an increased share of renewables in the electricity mix. Power electronics interfaces, with their emerg-ing wide bandgap (WBG) technologies, such as SiC and GaN, are a key element in these developments towards high energy-efficiency systems. The reliability aspect has become more and more crucial in these and many other applications. Alternatives to fossil fuels are being planned in Power-to-X plants where 100’s of MW power electronic systems are needed for running the plants. All the above challenges lead to a complex scenario, where expertise at different levels, from materials to management and optimization, are heavily demanded.

On top of the tutorials, lecture and dialogue sessions and technical visits, the organising committees will propose several discussion sessions within the industrial forums as well as special sessions of power electronics related trends. The conference will specifically focus on the following challenging topics:

Tuesday, September 5th: Energy Islands

(Renewable Energy Systems and Power-to-X, Energy Islands)

Wednesday, September 6th: Energy Storage

(Energy-Storage Technologies, Electric Vehicles)

Thursday, September 7th: Digital World in Energy

(Cyber Security in Power Electronics, Reliability and Artificial Intelligence in Power Electronics)
