CFP: 2021 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (PEDG 2021) - June 27-30, 2021
The 2021 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (PEDG 2021) will be held between June 27-30, 2021. This international symposium, sponsored by IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and organized by the PELS Technical Committee on Sustainable Energy Systems, will provide a venue for experts to present the results of their cutting-edge research in power electronics and distributed generation (DG) systems. PEDG 2021 will feature all-virtual plenary speeches, tutorials, and regular technical and poster sessions on theory, analysis, design and development, testing, deployment, and impact of power electronics for DG and systems, energy storage systems, and sustainable sources.
All Virtual Conference
PEDG 2021 will be hosted entirely on an engaging and easily accessible online platform. Attendees will gain a unique opportunity to connect with the global power electronics community and gain access to the various technical sessions that PEDG 2021 has to offer.
