The IEEE Power Electronics Society announces the Twelfth IEEE COMPEL Workshop (COMPEL’10). This workshop brings together practicing engineers as well as industrial, governmental, and academic researchers for interactive discussions on the latest advances in analysis, modeling and control of power electronics. Special emphasis in COMPEL’10 will be on advanced controls of switched-mode power converters, integrated circuits for smart power control and power management, as well as analysis, modeling and control of power electronics in energy efficiency and renewable energy applications. The workshop includes presentation and poster sessions, as well as hands-on software and hardware demonstrations presented by participants.
