  Welcome to the home page of the upcoming international conference POWERENG 2015!

The purpose of the POWERENG'2015 is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners from all over the world, interested in the advances of power systems (energy and electrical drives). Six simultaneous tracks will be held.

All papers accepted and presented at the conference will be submitted to IEEE Xplore database and will be cross-referred in SCOPUS.

You can download the "Call for papers" Short Form [.pdf] or Full Form [.pdf]
