About the Chapter
Welcome to the webpage of the
United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland (UKRI) Chapter of the IEEE
Power Electronics Society (PELS). The Society encourages its members
to use the strong brand of the IEEE, to promote scholarly activities,
business and enterprise within and beyond the power electronics
community. We look to our members to share our visions, for new
ideas, and to help participate and organize local events, or to serve
on the Committee. Please contact your Chapter Chairman Dr
Patrick Chi-Kwong LUK if you would like to get involved or interested in
helping.
Society's Mission and Field of Interest
The Society interprets Power
Electronics widely as a key enabling technology in essentially all
electronic systems ranging from wireless communication devices to
portable and desktop computers, from electric vehicle to power
transmission infrastructure and industrial systems. The field of
interest therefore embraces education, research, development, design,
application, installation and operation of apparatus, equipment,
structures, materials, services and systems for the safe, reliable
and economic processing of electric power and energy. It includes the
developing of engineering standards, the providing of information and
instruction to the public and to legislators, as well as technical
scientific, educational, business and other activities that
contribute to the power electronics discipline.
