Student and Junior Faculty Travel Support for the first IEEE Symposium on Power Electronics and Machines in Wind Applications (PEMWA 2009). To Be Held in Nebraska, on June 24-26,

首届IEEE风能应用中的电力电子和机械研讨会(PEMWA2009)将于2009年6月24-26日在内布拉斯加州林肯举行。这一新的研讨会由IEEE电力电子学会、IEEE电力与能源学会、内布拉斯加州能源科学研究中心(NCESR)和内布拉斯加州风能应用中心(NWAC)发起。研讨会主题包括发电机设计、风力发电机组感应和永磁发电机的控制、风力发电系统的电力电子变流器拓扑、风力发电变流器、住宅和其他小型风力发电系统的建模和仿真、低风速技术、分布式发电源选址和调度的风预报、孤岛和保护能力、电网连接问题、与风力发电源一起使用的储能技术，以及与风力应用相关的农村发展。该奖项的目的是部分资助一批学生和初级教师参加这次研讨会的旅费和报名费。智力价值：风电有能力在未来30年成为国家？S和世界？S电力供应的主要贡献者。PEMWA研讨会将提供一个独特的论坛，让来自世界各地的专家交流有关风能的知识和想法，并分享经验。它将有助于识别关键的挑战和技术差距，并提供一个框架来指导研究和技术开发，以实现通过风力向全国(S)和世界(S)供应20%的电力的目标。广泛影响：这次研讨会是由IEEE赞助的第一次专注于风能及相关问题的技术会议/研讨会，将在全球范围内实现。风能利用率的提高将缓解能源短缺问题，减少碳排放，促进环境更加清洁。这些可能是当今社会面临的最重要的问题。本次研讨会将为研究生、本科生和初级教师提供一个与风能领域的技术领导者互动的绝佳机会。将特别努力招收少数群体和代表性不足群体的学生和演讲者。

The first IEEE Symposium on Power Electronics and Machines in Wind Applications (PEMWA 2009), that will take place in Lincoln, Nebraska on June 24-26, 2009. This new symposium is being initiated by the IEEE Power Electronics Society, IEEE Power and Energy Society, Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research (NCESR), and Nebraska Wind Applications Center (NWAC). Symposium themes include generator design, control of wind turbine induction and permanent magnet generators, power electronics converter topologies for wind turbine systems, modeling and simulation of wind power converters, residential applications and other small wind turbine systems, low wind-speed technologies, wind forecasting for siting and dispatching of distributed generation sources, islanding and protection capabilities, grid connection issues, energy storage technologies for use with wind generating sources, and rural development associated with wind applications. It is the objective of this award to partially support travel and registration expenses for a selected group of students and junior faculty to attend this symposium.Intellectual Merit:Wind power is capable of becoming a major contributor to the nation?s and world?s electricity supply over the next three decades. The PEMWA symposium will provide a unique forum for exchanging knowledge and ideas and sharing experiences on wind energy amongst experts from around the world. It will help identify critical challenges and technology gaps and provide a framework to guide research and technology development in order to achieve the goal of supplying 20% of the nation?s and the world?s electrical energy by wind.Broader Impact:This symposium is the first IEEE-sponsored technical conference/symposium to focus on wind energy and related issues, to be achieved on a global scale. The increased utilization of wind energy will mitigate the problem of energy shortage, reduce carbon emissions, and promote a cleaner environment. These are possibly the most important issues facing society today. This symposium will provide a great opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students and junior faculty to interact with technology leaders in the area of wind energy. Special efforts will be made to recruit students and speakers from minorities and underrepresented groups.
