The European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications — a joint event with ECCE Europe. Heavy academic program with 500+ peer-reviewed papers on power conversion, drives, and energy systems.

More research-oriented than PCIM, but the papers here often preview the power conversion topologies and thermal management techniques that show up in commercial products 2-3 years later. Particularly strong on medium-voltage power delivery and high-efficiency DC-DC conversion.

Produced by: EPE Association / IEEE
Format: Academic conference with peer-reviewed papers
Focus: Power electronics, energy conversion, motor drives, renewable energy converters, power quality
