or the safety and well-being of the participants, this
year the in-person IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE2020) was not held
in Detroit due to the continued resurgence of
COVID-19 in the city and the State of Michigan.
Instead, the organizing committee of the twelfth ECCE
moved the conference to a fully virtual event from 11-15
October, 2020. The event was sponsored by the IEEE
Power Electronics Society (PELS) and Industry Applications Society (IAS), and the exhibiting vendors ROHM
Semiconductor, EGSTON, How2Power.com, OPAL-RT, ON
Semiconductor, and Wiley.
According to the organizers, the virtual format allowed
practicing engineer, researchers and other professional to
come together to learn, share ideas, and gain insight into
the latest innovations within the energy conversion field,
while ensuring that the current landscape does not hinder
anyone's ability to participate.
The five day conference started with 18 tutorials on Sunday 11 October, while the technical program was kicked off
by the four plenary sessions on Monday 12 October. Before
the plenary presentations, the ECCE 2020 general chair Prof.
Yunwei (Ryan) Li of the University of Alberta, Canada, introduced the PELS president Prof. Frede Blaabjerg of Aalborg
University, Denmark, who welcomed the virtual participants,
as well as introduced the PELS president-elect Prof. Liuchen
Chang of the University of New Brunswick, Canada. President-elect Prof. Chang starts his term in 2021. Before handing over the mike to the IAS president Georges Zissis, general
chair Prof. Li thanked the power electronics community for
sharing insight into the recent research and cutting-edge technologies in electrical and electromechanical energy conversion. Likewise, IAS president welcomed the participants and
introduced the plenary chairs, Prof. Tomy Sebastian of Halla
Mechatronics and Prof. Chang.
