IEEE Power Electronics Magazine - June 2017 - 84

upcoming new important applications will be presented in interdisciplinary invited papers.
In 2018, the successful story of
CIPS will continue, as the conference's focus is more important than
ever-increasing functionality, energy efficiency, and system reliability
while decreasing cost.
We invite all engineers from
industr y and academia who are
engaged in power electronicsrelated activities, including system
development, component development, reliability engineering, and research, to share their research and

technical achievements by joining
CIPS 2018. The conference will be
held 20-22 March 2018 in Stuttgart,
Germany a t t h e M a r it i m Hot el
Stuttgart. Visit www.cips-conference

call for Papers: second
IEEE workshop on Electronic Power
transmission and Distribution

T

he role of power electronics
in electric utilities is changing
from an enabling technology
for renewable generation and energy
efficiency improvement to an underpinning technology for grid modernization. Electronic power transmission
and distribution grids, which can efficiently manage electricity among
power electronic-based sources and
loads, are being envisioned in the
near future. Following the success of
the inaugural workshop, the Second
IEEE Workshop on Electronic Power

Transmission and Distribution (eT&D
2017), jointly sponsored by the IEEE
Power Electronics Society (PELS)
and IEEE Power & Energy Society
(PES), will be held on 7-8 November
2017 in Aalborg, Denmark, where a
100% renewable energy future by
2050 is targeted. This international
workshop, organized by Aalborg University, will feature presentations
only (without proceedings), which
will consist of executive panel sessions, invited speeches, and technical
oral/poster presentations from government, industry, and academia. All
presentations will be archived in
the IEEE PELS and PES Resource

z	June 2017

Centers. Researchers, engineers, and
students from the fields of power
electronics and electric power systems will present and exchange their
views of the latest advances in electronic power transmission and distribution technologies. Stability, power
quality, and resiliency of electronic
power grids will be of prime interest
in eT&D 2017. Visit www.ieee-et-d.org
for more information.
