Prof. Kamal Al-Haddad is the prestigious recipient of the IEEE medal on Power engineering for contributions to power electronics converters for power quality and industrial applications at the 2023 IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit, held on 5 May 2023 in Atlanta. Congratulations!

Prof. Antonio Luque and his team recently restructured the Membership Activities Committee, to provide IES members with a community where they feel more inclusive and where they can collaborate with others who share their technical interests.

Prof. Lucia Lo Bello, the Chair of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) AdHoc Committee of the IES Membership Activities told us about this new team, its objectives, and about the first Diversity and Inclusion Workshop that took place at ICIT Orlando in April.

The 2nd ONCON 2023 will take place virtually from 8-10 December 2023. The conference's goal is to promote the exchange of innovative ideas, advanced theories, and practical applications of Industrial Electronic Systems. 

The IEEE International Conference in Energy Technologies for Future Grids will take place in Wollongong, Australia 3-6 December 2023. IEEE ETFG 2023 will provide a forum for researchers, policymakers and industry professionals to share their knowledge of the latest technologies available in modernizing grid infrastructures.

AC/DC power converters with DC-bus filters can achieve high power density, however the reverse recovery currents of the diode bridge can lead to significant electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise. This paper proposes two techniques to reduce the EMI.

This paper reviews state-of-the-art DC fast chargers, the electric vehicles charging infrastructure’s current status, motivation, and challenges for medium voltage ultra-fast charging stations (UFCS).

by Victor Huang (Vice Chair, IEEE IES Standards Technical Committee)

In this webinar, a short overview of IES Standards Development is covered. A short history of IES standards development, standards sponsored, developed and co-sponsored by IES Standards TC will be presented. An overview of the IEEE Standard life cycle is described, concluding with the IES Centers of Expertise, an initiative benefiting industry and academia members in IES Standards activities.
