The Seventh Annual IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE 2015) will be held in Montreal, Canada, on September 20 - 24, 2015. ECCE 2015 is the pivotal international conference and exposition event on electrical and electromechanical energy conversion field. To be held for the first time outside USA, ECCE 2015, in Montreal, Canada, will feature both industry-driven and application-oriented technical sessions, as well as industry expositions and seminars. ECCE 2015 will bring together practicing engineers, researchers and other professionals for interactive and multidisciplinary discussions on the latest advances in various areas related to energy conversion. Technical papers are solicited on any subject pertaining to the scope of the conference that includes, but is not limited to, the following major topics: Energy Conversion Systems and Technologies • Renewable energy systems - solar, wind, wave, energy harvesting, and energy storage • Smart grid and utility applications - renewable energy integration, distributed resources and micro-grids, HVDC, FACTS, V2G-G2V, and electronic transformers • Energy efficiency and industrial applications - lighting, smart appliances, high efficiency motor drives, smart buildings, consumer electronics and others • Computer and telecommunication applications - power supplies, UPS, energy storage, and system architectures • Transportation applications - electric and hybrid vehicles, infrastructure, traction, marine and aerospace • Power conversion systems stability and power quality • Special track on emerging power electronics technology: wireless power transfer, sustainable buildings, DC micro grid, energy harvesting, bio-medical applications, 3D power packaging Components and Subsystems for Energy Conversion • • • • • • • Electric machines and actuators Electric motor drives Power converters Power semiconductor devices and packaging Magnetic materials and other passive components Converter-level packaging and integration Converter and components modeling, control and EMI, focused on circuits, advanced controls, measurement and sensing, reliability and thermal modeling • Reliability, diagnostics and prognostics Paper Submission Guideline: Prospective authors are requested to submit a digest no longer than five (5) pages, single column, single spaced, summarizing the proposed paper. The digest should include key equations, figures, tables and references as appropriate, but no author names or affiliations. Deviations from these essential requirements will be grounds for immediate rejection. The digests must clearly state the objectives of the work, its significance in advancing engineering or science, and the methods and specific results in sufficient detail. The digests will be reviewed using a double-blind peer review process to ensure confidentiality and fair review. Please refer to the conference website for a detailed list of technical topics and the digest submission method.
