Earlier ones were held in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2012. Conference Theme: Application of Power Electronics for Sustainability and development. The IEEE PELS-IES and PES-IAS Delhi Chapter is organizing the IICPE 2014 from Dec. 08th to 10th, 2014 at National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra, Haryana. The conference will provide an opportunity to the practicing engineers, academicians and researchers to meet in a forum to discuss various issues in power electronics, and its applications in drives, electric traction, power system operation and control, smart grid, HVDC, FACTS, solid state devices, and its switching techniques, Microwave and millimeter wave technology etc. In view of the changing scenario under restructured power system, drives and transportation, the conference aims to put together the experts from the relevant areas to disseminate their knowledge and experience for working towards smart grid and energy sustainability in the years to come. Areas to be covered, but not limited to Authors are requested to send their original papers based on research work / field experience in the categories listed below. Track 1–Application of Power Electronics in Power Systems HVDC, Smart grids, FACTS, and micro-grids, Protection, Energy efficiency and demand side control, Distributed generation, Power System Stability and Control, and Power Electronics Applications in Blackouts. Track 2–Power Quality Issues Active and Passive Filters, UPQC, DVR, High Power Factor Converters, Multi-Level Converters and Inverters. Track 3–Renewable energy systems Wind power, Solar PV, Tidal, wave, and hydro power systems, Hybrid Energy Systems, BESS, Fuel cells, super capacitors and other storage devices. Track 4–Power Electronics, Machine Control and Its Industrial Applications Novel converter/inverter topologies, AC and DC Drive Systems, permanent-magnet and reluctance machines, Special machines, Motion control system, Design, Modeling, Condition monitoring, Application case studies, Energy efficiency and Integrated drives. Track 5–Application of Power Electronics to Transportation Traction, Marine propulsion, Aerospace Starter/generator systems, and Electric/fuel cell/hybrid vehicles, Mechatronics. Track 6– Electronics Devices and Circuits Novel/Modified switching devices for Power Electronics Applications and their switching techniques, Switch-mode power supplies, EMC and Power quality, Advanced switching Techniques and Concepts of soft switching, microwave and millimeter wave technology.
