WELCOME
We are proud to announce that the 16th Conference on Power Electronics and Applications,
EPE’14-ECCE Europe, will discover the Nordic latitudes and visit Lappeenranta, the home city of
Lappeenranta University of Technology, on the border between the EU and Russia, and
surrounded by the magnificent nature of the Finnish Lake Saimaa.
Hosted by Lappeenranta University of Technology, the EPE’14-ECCE Europe conference will take
place in a peaceful Nordic late-summer atmosphere from 26 to 28 August 2014. We hope to
welcome a truly international academic and industrial audience, and invite you into the heart of
Finnish expertise in Power Electronics.
Lappeenranta University of Technology
Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) is the largest energy research and education
organisation in Finland. At LUT, we know that no one technology alone can solve the crisis of
global warming but a combination of technologies and actions based on life cycle thinking and
sustainable development is required.
Our core activities focus on research and development of advanced clean energy systems. Here,
expertise in power electronics is our core competence and the mainstay of success for achieving
excellence.
Green Campus
We will present you our Green Campus, which we consider to be a unique research and test bed
environment serving as a living laboratory for energy expertise and related innovations. We are
continuously making further steps to develop a low-carbon Green Campus system building on the
considerable recognition gained from the Academy of Finland and industries for our outstanding
expertise and research infrastructure in Power Electronics.
The University produces renewable green energy on campus and aims at showcasing expertise in
smart grids and energy storage technologies. LUT Green Campus has the facilities, skilled people,
and comprehensive cross-disciplinary understanding to innovatively design and deliver the
research infrastructure that is needed to research and develop, test and teach, apply and share
the technological, environmental, economic and societal aspects of sustainable energy production
and use.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Lappeenranta; you will find our city to be the most
beautiful Green Campus City of the North. We have already pre-booked many hotel rooms to
welcome you during these three fascinating days with a thought-provoking programme and
excellent networking opportunities.

AIMS OF CONFERENCE:
EPE ECCE Europe is the place for specialists in power electronics, systems and components to
present papers and attend sessions on state-of-the-art technology in this challenging and
evolutionary sector. The conference aims to be a meeting forum for researchers, developers and
specialists from the industry. Papers are encouraged on all topics described hereunder for
interdisciplinary discussions of new ideas, research, development, applications and the latest
advances in the field of power electronics and adjustable speed drives.
The intention of the Organizing Committee is to ensure that all Sponsoring Companies receive the
highest recognition in return for their generous support to the Congress. EPE ECCE Europe is an
established and renowned Conference and Exhibition, and will be a useful meeting point for
designers, users and engineers of the future, offering the perfect stage for the development of
valuable relationships between companies and professionals.
Since 1985, the European EPE Conference has grown to become the most influential
forum in the field of Power Electronics. We are now proud to announce that the
16th Conference on Power Electronics and Applications, EPE’14-ECCE Europe, will
discover the Nordic latitudes and visit Lappeenranta, the home city of Lappeenranta
University of Technology, on the border between the EU and Russia, and
surrounded by the magnificent nature of the Finnish Lake Saimaa. Hosted by
Lappeenranta University of Technology, EPE’14-ECCE Europe will take place in a
peaceful Nordic late-summer atmosphere from 26 to 28 August 2014. We hope to
welcome a truly international academic and industrial audience, and invite you into
the heart of Finnish expertise in Power Electronics.
We now invite sponsors interested in presenting their activities, services and
products at EPE’14 ECCE Exhibition.
