he Brazilian Power Electronics Conference - COBEP is a conference held every odd year in Brazil, since 1991, supported by the Brazilian Power Electronics Society - SOBRAEP. Due to high technical and scientific levels COBEP has long been technically sponsored by the IEEE. For 2015 we are pleased to introduce the first IEEE Southern Power Electronic Conference – SPEC along with COBEP in a unique event of power electronics in the Southern hemisphere.

The conference covers the fields of interest of the power electronics community, providing a forum for sharing theoretical and practical developments related to power electronics, featuring strong participation of industry and academia.

The main topics of the conference include

1. Power converters topologies and design;
2. Electrical machines and drive systems;
3. Modeling, simulation and control in power electronics;
4. Devices, packaging, integration, magnetic materials and passive components;
5. Industrial, commercial and residential applications;
6. Renewable energy systems;
7. Smart grid and utility applications;
8. Energy efficiency, power quality and electromagnetic compatibility;
9. Education and special topics.
