It’s our great pleasure to invite you to join us for 2017 1st IEEE International Conference on Electrical Materials and Power Equipment (ICEMPE 2017), which will provide a forum within the international academic and engineering community in the field of electrical materials and power equipment.
The ICEMPE 2017 will be held in Xi’an, China on May 14-17, 2017. It is co-sponsored by the Engineering Dielectrics Committee of China Electrotechnical Society and the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society (DEIS), and it will be organized and technically supported by Xi’an Jiaotong University. ICEMPE is an extension of National Conference on Engineering Dielectrics (NCED) in China, which was founded in 1983 as a biennial forum and has already been successfully conducted for 14 times.
The ICEMPE 2017 will be the 1st conference and beginning of the series. The scientific research and development of electrical engineering are meeting new challenges as renewable energy sources are being greatly promoted. In the area of dielectrics and electrical insulation, people are paying more attention to eco-friendly dielectrics and recycling insulating materials, nanodielectrics and superconducting techniques as well as electrical insulation phenomena and charging under cosmic and radiological environment. Additionally, internationalization of power equipment industry is going so prompt that leading high voltage equipment manufacturers possess factories/workshops in many countries. Thus, there comes a growing demand to organize an international conference on electrical materials and power equipment to promote close interaction between academies and engineers, which is exactly the aim of ICEMPE 2017.
Xi'an is one of the oldest cities in China, with a history of more than 3,100 years. Called Chang'an before the Ming Dynasty, Xi'an is one of the birthplaces of the ancient civilization in the Yellow River Basin area of the country. This city used to be the capital city of 11 dynasties, and Xi'an is also the eastern terminus of the Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Warriors. The cultural and historical significance of the area, as well as the abundant relics and sites, help Xi’an enjoy the laudatory title of 'Natural History Museum'.
