Student Support for IEMDC 2013 Conference Participation. To be Held May 12-15,2013 in Chicago, IL.

电机消耗了全球近2/3的电能，却产生了近100%的电力。这一领域的创新对全球经济和能源消费具有根本性影响，对向可持续发展过渡至关重要。IEEE国际电机与驱动会议（IEMDC）是该领域的主要会议，将于2013年5月12日至15日在芝加哥地区的威斯汀奥黑尔（罗斯蒙特）酒店举行。四个IEEE协会是本次会议的共同赞助者：电力电子学会（PELS）；电力与能源学会；工业应用学会；工业电子学会。计划为电气工程专业学生提供旅行支持，优先考虑三年级本科生。

Electric machines consume nearly 2/3 of global electrical energy, and produce nearly 100% of electricity. Innovations in this field have a fundamental impact on global economies and energy consumption, and are essential in the transition to sustainability. IEEE International Electric Machines and Drives Conference (IEMDC) is the leading conference in this field and will take place during May 12-15, 2013 at the Westin O'Hare (Rosemont) hotel in the Chicago area. Four IEEE Societies are co-sponsors of this conference: Power Electronics Society (PELS); Power and Energy Society (PES); Industry Application Society (IAS); Industrial Electronics Society (IES). Travel support for electrical engineering students, with first priority given to third year undergraduates is planned.
