China International Youth Conference on Electrical Engineering (CIYCEE 2020)

The Power Electronics Society (PELS) remains one of the fastest growing societies of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). For over thirty years, PELS has facilitated and guided the development and innovation in power electronics technologies. These technologies encompass the effective use of electronic components, the application of circuit theory and design techniques, and the development of analytical tools toward efficient conversion, control, and condition of electric power.
Dr. Liuchen Chang, the VP for Conferences (2017-2020) and President-Elect (serving 2021-2022) of PELS, will present an introduction to the Power Electronics Society. IEEE PELS's core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence in power electronics for the benefit of humanity. Liuchen will present the organizational structure and operation of PELS, its membership and activities across wide regions, conference portfolios, PELS publications and other products, and its technical committees. Liuchen will provide an insight into the young professional and student activities and their significance to PELS. Liuchen will also provide an overview of a few PELS initiatives including Empower a Billion Lives (a global competition in Energy Access) and PELS international technology roadmaps.
