About PEDES 2016
PEDES, the IEEE sponsored series of International Conferences on Power Electronics,
Drives and Energy Systems was started in 1996. The first in the Series, PEDES 1996
was held in New Delhi. It was followed by PEDES 1998 in Perth, Australia; PEDES 2006
& PEDES 2010 in New Delhi, PEDES 2012 in Bangalore and PEDES 2014 in Mumbai.
PEDES 2016 will be held at Trivandrum and is sponsored by four important IEEE
societies, viz., the IEEE Industry Application Society, IEEE Power Electronics Society,
IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and IEEE Power and Energy Society.
The goal of PEDES is to provide a platform for Conference, Exhibition and Tutorials on
selected topics of contemporary interest, biennially, mainly in the Indian
Subcontinent. The conference provides a unique forum for the exchange of
knowledge and information among the professionals across the globe in the areas of
Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems - subjects which have greater
significance owing to the emphasis on Energy affected by the climate change. The
conference aims at bringing together the users and researchers of Electrical Energy
Conversion Systems and Sub-systems with the emphasis on the technical content of
the Papers. The Oral and Poster Session of the conference will highlight the latest
research and development efforts enabling the minimization of technical and cost
barriers. The scope of the Conference includes all aspects of the design, manufacture,
application of devices, circuits and systems related to Electrical Energy.
PEDES 2016 is organized by IEEE conference organizing committee consisting of
distinguished personalities from industries and academia and is hosted by Mar
Baselios College of Engineering & Technology, Trivandrum (MBCET). The sessions on
14 Dec. 2016 will be held at Hotel UdaySamudra, Kovalam, Trivandrum and the
