Invitation:
In the field of electrical engineering, power electronics is being dynamically developed, finding its application in several industrial branches. Many production technologies became more efficient, when applying power electronics equipment. Power electronics and energy systems integration provide high standards of human friendly environment. The next generation of power electronics systems must change environmental factors, customer concerns and reliability.

Conference CPE 2015 – June, 24-26 (2015) – will be an international wide forum for researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students to exchange new ideas and experiences in the area of power electronics application to different systems.

All papers presented during the conference will be submitted to IEEE Xplore.

Conference Location: 
The Conference will be held in Caparica, Lisbon. Lisbon, the capital of Portugal with a population of one million inhabitants, is a modern city, which has a lot to offer both in terms of history, culture and social life. It stands on the westernmost point of land of the European continent, where the Tagus river flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Its Atlantic climate, with some Mediterranean influences, is probably the mildest of all European capitals.
