The International Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE) is a major event that will annually provide an international platform for electrical engineers and experts to highlight key issues and developments essential to the multifaceted field of electrical engineering systems. ICEE 2017, the 23rd in the series, will be held in Weihai, China from July 4 to 7, 2017. It is a great pleasure for the CSEE and the co-organizers IEEJ, KIEE and HKIE, to invite prospective authors initiating the discussion on the challenges that need to be timely overcome and addressing key questions for achieving a safe, reliable, sustainable and intelligent power system.
