PELSS Student Summit 2024
The Power Electronics Student Summit is a specialist conference in the field of power electronics - organized by Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (H-BRS) in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology (IEE). The conference enables students to gain initial experience in the preparation, publication and discussion of their own research work in front of a specialist audience.

The next conference will take place in Kassel from August 21 to 23, 2024, organized by H-BRS in cooperation with Fraunhofer IEE. Participation is open to doctoral candidates and enrolled students from all universities. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore research database. The conference will be held in English. Papers from 2022 can be viewed here: Power and Energy Student Summit . The full program for the conference can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

Motivation

The PELSS is intended as a platform for young scientists. Therefore, we encourage young professionals and PhD students pursuing their Master's or Ph.D. degree to submit their scientific papers.
