Call for Papers
Notice on the COVID19 crisis:
In view to the unpredictable global development of the ongoing COVID19 crisis, it is not clear if overseas travelling will be normalized by November 2020. Hence, we plan to prepare, for the first time, an on-line eGRID workshop. We will offer speakers, panelists and authors, who cannot travel to Aachen, the opportunity to give an on-line presentation, using a digital platform. Details about the practical implementation and preparation of your presentation, as well as registration fee, will follow soon. Based on our personal experience with this new digital format, which may become the norm in the coming years, we are convinced that with your contributions the workshop will be successful.
IEEE eGrid 2020 offers participants from research and industry worldwide to present their latest research and project findings in the field of DC grids. Participants are invited to submit extended abstracts related to the topics of interested that are listed below.
