Conference: Power and Energy Conference at Illinois 2023 (PECI)

这笔旅行补助金将用于抵消参加在伊利诺伊州举行的第14届年度电力和能源会议（PECI）的与会者的费用。从2010年开始，PECI是历史最悠久的，由学生主办的关于电力和能源技术的IEEE国际会议。会议由伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校IEEE PES/PELS/IAS联合研究生分会组织，并由伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校电气与计算机工程系电力与能源领域的教师提供建议。PECI已成为中西部地区工业界、学术研究人员和学生讨论未来电力和能源主题的理想场所，如可再生能源、电力运输机器、智能电网可靠性、网络物理系统的安全性以及新兴技术的电力电子技术。PECI 2023的旅行资金将用于支持代表性不足的学生，例如主要来自本科或少数民族院校的学生。申请资助的学生将被鼓励提交海报或论文，并将竞争最佳论文和最佳海报奖。PECI 2023的旅行资金将帮助学生在机器、电力系统、电力电子和创业等领域向学术和工业部门介绍以创新电力为重点的技术。这将通过促进未来领导者与当前学术和行业专业人士之间的讨论来推进电力工程界。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This travel grant will be used for offsetting the cost of attendees participating at the 14th Annual Power and Energy Conference at Illinois (PECI). Beginning in 2010, PECI is the oldest annual, student-run IEEE international conference about power and energy technology. The conference is organized by the IEEE PES/PELS/IAS Joint Graduate Student Chapter at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is advised by faculty in the Power and Energy area of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. PECI has become a perfect place in the Midwest for industry, academic researchers, and students to discuss future power and energy topics such as renewable energy, machines for electric transportation, smart grid reliability, security of cyber physical systems, and power electronics for emerging technologies. The travel funding for PECI 2023 will support underrepresented students such as those from primarily undergraduate or minority institutions. Students who apply for funding will be encouraged to present either a poster or paper and will compete for Best Paper and Best Poster Awards. The travel funding for PECI 2023 will help introduce students to innovative power-focused technologies in both the academic and industry sectors, in fields such as machines, power systems, power electronics and entrepreneurship. This will advance the power engineering community by fostering discussion between the leaders of tomorrow and current academic and industry professionals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
