Abstract :
You are cordially invited to participate in the 2009 Energy Conversion Congress and Expo (ECCE 2009) scheduled for 20-24 September 2009 at the DoubleTree Hotel in sunny San Jose, California. ECCE 2009 combines two of the most successful international conference programs-the IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC) and the technical programs of the Industrial Power Conversion Systems Department (IPCSD) (made up of the Electric Machines, Industrial Drives, Industrial Power Converter, and Power Electronics Devices Committees) at the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS) Annual Meeting-into one significant conference and exposition with a focus on energy conversion, efficiency, and sustainability. In addition to combining all relevant power electronics, devices, machines, and drives activities from the two conferences, this event will bring engineers, students, and academics together to enhance cooperation, start interdisciplinary dialogue, and encourage the exchange of ideas between these various constituents.
