Technical and Student Branch Chapters of the IA, IE, PE and PEL Societies
IEEE Wuhan Section IAS, PES, IES and PELS Chapters have been inaugurated one after the other, since the end of 2017. The four chapters have been growing and developing rapidly, appealing more and more experts, professors and enterprises to join them. In order to enhance the contact between academia and industry, and provide a platform of interdisciplinary communication, the first joint technical annual workshop of IEEE IAS, IES, PES and PELS Wuhan Chapters was held on June 16, 2019 in the electrical building of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China. Academician Shijie Cheng and Prof. Ronghai Qu were co-chairs of the Joint Workshop.
Domestic and foreign experts were invited to attend the meeting and make a invited presentation (including Dr. Peter Magyar, Director of Chapter Development, IEEE IAS; Prof. Po-tai Cheng, National Tsinghua University; Prof. Jianguo Zhu, University of Sydney; Dr. Jianhui Wang, Editor-in-chief of IEEE TSG; Prof. Jinjun Liu, Xi’an Jiaotong University; Prof. Hongjie Jia, Tianjin University; Prof. Wei Hua, Southeast University; Prof. Xiaoming Zha, Wuhan University; Prof. Gaolin Wang, Harbin Institute of Technology; Prof. Qinglai Guo, Tsinghua University; Prof. Jun Wang, Hunan University; Prof. Huanhai Xin, Zhejiang University; Prof. Yongdong Li, Tsinghua University; Prof. Jing Ma, North China Electric Power University). The leaders and teachers from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (SEEE) of HUST also attached great importance to and gave great support to the Joint Workshop. Prof. Jinyu Wen, dean of the SEEE, Prof. Ming Zhang, Prof. Jiabing Hu, Prof. Kai Jiang, Prof. Wei Xu and Associate professor Xia Chen all attended the meeting.
The conference drew more than 200 representatives from IEEE international organizations, scientific research institutions, systems and equipment enterprises to discuss hot academic issues, exchange new technologies and achievements, and jointly promote the development of systems and equipment under the new situation.
The opening ceremony began in the morning of June 16. Professor Ronghai Qu firstly gave a brief introduction of the Joint Workshop. Then the representatives from Hust, IEEE IAS, Wuhan section and four Wuhan society chapters presented a welcome address, respectively. Afterwards, the aforementioned distinguished guests gave four wonderful keynote speeches in the later morning and twelve special reports in two sessions in the afternoon. Prof. Po-tai Cheng, Prof. Jianguo Zhu, Dr. Jianhui Wang, and Prof. Jinjun Liu, made keynote speeches entitled “Medium Voltage Power Electronics in Smart Grid Applications”, “Robust Design Optimization for High Quality Mass Production of Electrical Drive Systems”, “Power Grid Resilience Enhancement through Networked Micro-grids”, and “Technical Challenges to the Coming Era of Electronified Power Systems”. In the afternoon, twelve special reports were given in two technical sessions, namely power systems and power electronics & motor drives. Associate professor Xia Chen and professor Wei Xu wei served as chairmen, respectively. Prof. Hongjie Jia, Prof. Wei Hua, Prof. Xiaoming Zha, Prof. Gaolin Wang, Prof. Qinglai Guo, Prof. Yongdong Li, Prof. Jing Ma, Prof. Kai Jiang and Prof. Jiabin Hu made wonderful reports focused on the technology development trend of the electric field and the key academic problems.
The First Joint Workshop was a great success. Brilliant academic discussion, intense and profound thinking collision, unlimited charm of exploration and research would freeze into a beautiful memory, and also start a new journey for every participant!
