IEEE ECCE 2012 registration and final program available online

This year's IEEE ECCE (Energy-conversion congress and exposition) will be held in the new Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, NC. The just-released final program includes more than 130 technical sessions with more than 700 papers and eight tutorials on wind energy, smart grid, microgrid, packaging, SMPS, and EV/HEV. The event will also host two Rap sessions on wide-bandgap power devices and smart grids and ample opportunity to network with leading industry minds from around the world. ECCE 2012 will bring together practicing engineers, researchers, and other professionals for interactive discussions on the latest advances in various areas related to energy conversion.
