Call for Papers: PowerTech 2025

On behalf of the International Steering Committee and the Local Organizing Committee, we cordially invite you to attend in Kiel, Germany, the 16th IEEE PowerTech 2025, co-sponsored by IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) and Kiel University.

The PowerTech 2025 conference, themed ‘Powering the Energy System Transformation’, aims to address the pressing challenges and opportunities associated with the global shift towards more sustainable and resilient energy systems. As the world increasingly turns to renewable energy sources, smart grids and innovative storage solutions, this conference will serve as a central platform for researchers, industry experts and policy makers to exchange ideas and foster collaboration. Through a mix of technical sessions, panel discussions and networking opportunities, PowerTech 2025 will explore the transformative potential of emerging technologies and innovative practices to drive the energy sector towards a greener and more sustainable future.

PowerTech is the flagship conference of the IEEE PES in Europe, providing a premier forum for researchers and engineers involved in electric power and energy engineering to share ideas and results. Both industry and academia are welcome to strengthen their collaboration and lead the innovation in the energy world. We welcome participants from both industry and academia to strengthen collaboration and lead innovation in the energy world.
