EPE'22 ECCE Europe
Call for Papers:

 

 

EPE’21 ECCE Europe is virtual but added value: “build power electronics together”.

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
Dear guests, colleagues and friends,
Dear participants,

I’m glad to invite you at the 23rd European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications, EPE’21 ECCE Europe, which will take place virtually. Originally, it was planned to take place in Ghent, Belgium, from 6 to 10  September 2021. After many years, the conference which started in Brussels in 1985, would have returned to Belgium after a travel around Europe. Ghent is at the confluence delta of the rivers “Schelde” and the “Leie”. By the 13th century, Ghent was among the 5 biggest cities of western Europe in the medieval ages, 50 000 people, now 560 000. The city remained active in all periods, which leaves a number of historical places of interest. To have sufficient “critical mass” the ‘local committee’ includes Benelux and Aachen. 

With the covid uncertainties, the original intention was to organize a hybrid conference. However, the steering committee has decided that the conference will once again be full-online. This however does not mean that the city is not worth visiting on another moment. In fact, it is also an opportunity to communicate with countries that have more troubles when it comes to traveling. The learning school of 2020 allows us to do better and make it a success. Not only during the virtual lecture and dialogue sessions of the conference, but also at the virtual exhibition, industrial forums and tutorials: virtual meeting places.

The conference covers subjects from the components, design and modelling to many types of applications. I’m mainly motivated by the fact that power electronics will be a silent but key technology for solutions in almost all future areas of production, transport, household, office, technology and environmental solutions. Also designs for niche applications may interest an audience. In fact power electronics is a ‘glue technology’ converting all kinds of electrical energy, where it often creates the added value. For the moment, we see fast growing research and applications in electric mobility, solar PV and wind. In electric cars for sure, from charging, to drives and many auxiliaries. There is also no principal problem for controlling larger truck type and mining vehicles that will get a breakthrough as more competitive batteries will be available. Many things have still to be developed around PV converters, e.g. the inverter lifetime is still significantly lower than the PV panels themselves. Also the scale: in Flanders the level of PV implementation is 2 panels per inhabitant. However, at the actual panel price it could evolve to 10-20 times more. Flanders has probably the largest installed off-shore wind power, compared to the cost length. So, more conversions, more direct, local use but still also more long distance transport will be needed. The electrical energy will pass power electronic conversions several times  before being used.

The EPE conference is typically a place to meet people, colleagues and exhibitors in the field. This aspect has been translated to the virtual platform as much as possible.

I look forward to meeting you at the virtual EPE’21 ECCE Europe Conference.

General chair,

Alex Van den Bossche

 

Welcome

The Power Electronics community will gather online from 6 to 10 September 2021, to exchange views on research progress and technological developments in the various topics related to Power Electronics and Adjustable Speed Drives.

The 23rd European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications will, because of the current sanitarian situation and the uncertainties that come with it, be organised virtually. 

Please read the President’s Message by Leo Lorenz, President of EPE Association.
