2009年6月24日至26日，首届IEEE风能应用电力电子与机械研讨会（PEMWA 2009）将在内布拉斯加州林肯市举行。本次研讨会由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。研讨会的主题包括发电机设计、风力发电机感应和永磁发电机的控制、风力发电机系统的电力电子转换器拓扑结构、风力发电转换器的建模和仿真、住宅应用和其他小型风力涡轮机系统、低风速技术、分布式发电源选址和调度的风力预测、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支持选定的学生和初级教师参加本次研讨会的旅费和注册费。知识价值：风力发电有能力成为国家的主要贡献者？S和世界？美国未来30年的电力供应。PEMWA研讨会将为来自世界各地的专家交流风能知识和想法以及分享经验提供一个独特的论坛。它将有助于确定关键挑战和技术差距，并提供一个框架来指导研究和技术开发，以实现供应全国20%的目标。美国和世界？利用风能发电。更广泛的影响：本次研讨会是ieee主办的第一个专注于风能和相关问题的技术会议/研讨会，将在全球范围内实现。风能利用的增加将缓解能源短缺问题，减少碳排放，促进更清洁的环境。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和本科生以及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。将作出特别努力，招收来自少数民族和代表性不足群体的学生和发言人。

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.
