Engineering

After 34 events the Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (AUPEC) has become the IEEE PES Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference.

AUPEC continues its traditions to bring together academics, students, researchers and practising engineers, primarily from Australasia but also from other parts of the world, to present emerging topics in power and energy.

In 2025 AUPEC will be held from 29 September-1 October 2025 in Brisbane, Australia. This year’s conference theme is “Resilient Energy Systems: Strengthening the
Future Grid for a Sustainable World“.

The conference invites researchers and industry professionals to submit new and original ideas on different aspects of power and energy engineering, which includes but is not limited to the following broad topics:

Power system generation, planning and operation
Power system stability and control
Resiliency of power grids
Power system protection
Power system communications
Power electronics converters
Power quality and harmonics
Electrical machines and drives
Power engineering education
Electricity market and economics
Renewable energy resources and their integrations
Energy storage systems and their integrations
Distributed and consumer energy resources
Demand side management
Virtual power plants
Microgrids (DC, AC and hybrid)
Multi-carrier energy systems, including hydrogen
Asset management and condition monitoring of electrical plants
Cyber security of power systems
Electrification of transportation (EV, heavy vehicles and charging infrastructures)
Data analytics and AI in power systems
FACTS and HVDC
Impacts of climate changes on the energy sector
Energy transition
On-shore/offshore wind generation systems and solar generation systems.
