IPEC2012 continues the long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to researchers and engineers in electrical power and energy engineering. First started in 1993 as the International Power Engineering Conference, nine very successful conferences have been held so far. Since 2010, in line with the global trends in electrical power and energy technologies, IPEC is renamed as the International Power and Energy Conference. IPEC2012 is jointly organized by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Department of Science and Technology, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and the University of Technology, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and technically sponsored by IEEE. It aims to create a forum for scientists and practicing engineers throughout the world to present the latest research findings and ideas in the areas of power and energy.

IPEC2012 welcomes technical papers and presentations in all areas of power engineering, power electronics, and energy systems. All submitted full papers would be fully peer-reviewed by specialist referees assigned by the technical program committee. Accepted papers shall be included in the IEEE Xplore database and indexed by EI Compendex as well as ISI Proceedings. The topics of interest are broadly categorized into, but not limited to, the following:

Solar photovoltaic devices and systems
Solar thermal technologies
Wind power generation
Marine tidal and wave energy
Other renewable and alternative energy
Fossil fuel, hydro, & nuclear power plants
Energy harvesting and conversion
Distributed generation
