PELS Local Chapters

      Chair:

      The current chair is listed as a member of the Administrative Committee

      In support of regular chapters and chapters under creation, the IEEE Power Electronics Society offers the Distinguished Lecturers Program in which worldwide recognized experts in the field can visit your chapter/section in order to give talks which help you to promote Power Electronics in your country. In addition, PELS offers an Annual Support of $1000USD for regular chapters (including joint chapters) and $400 USD for chapters under creation.


      There is a new Regional Lecturers Program that is intended to help chapters exchange technical expertise and further develop meetings and programs.



      Best Chapter Award


      To promote technical activities within PELS chapters, in 2000 the Power Electronics Society instituted a Best Chapter Award. The award is given annually to the chapter that makes the best use of the PELS supporting capabilities (Distinguished Lecture Program, Annual Financial Support) and conducts activities such as organizing conferences and technical talks, operating a web site, and promoting Power Electronics technology. (In any given year, PELS may choose to not make the award.)

      The Best Chapter Award consists of a plaque including the names of the chapter chair, secretary, and treasurer. PELS will provide complimentary conference registration and will reimburse expenses up to a predetermined amount to allow the Best Chapter chair or nominee to attend PESC to receive the award. The award application form is available below.
