The IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) stands as the world’s most influential conference in power electronics and energy conversion, jointly organized by the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS). Each year, ECCE brings together more than 2,000 leading researchers, engineers, and industry experts to exchange ideas and explore breakthroughs shaping the future of sustainable energy systems.
This year, ECIE Lab proudly represented Taiwan as the only selected team in the IEEE ECCE 2025 Student Demonstrations—a global competition recognizing student-led innovation in energy conversion and power systems. A total of 19 elite teams from the United States, Europe, and Asia were selected, including representatives from Princeton, Purdue, Cornell, University of Cambridge, Virginia Tech, and City University of Hong Kong.
The ECIE Lab team presented their paper, “Optimization of Excitation Inductance for ZVS in 1-MHz Non-Isolated Resonant Converter”, and demonstrated their project, “48 V-to-6 V 2 kW High Power Density LLC Resonant Converter for Data Center Applications”, showcasing the lab’s expertise in high-efficiency power conversion and practical design.
Beyond the technical success, the ECCE experience was deeply inspiring for our students. Through discussions with researchers from top institutions such as Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Virginia, they gained a broader perspective on how innovation is driven at the global scale. They noted how AI and machine learning are rapidly transforming power electronics design, from data-driven magnetic modeling to hybrid FEM optimization and predictive circuit analysis.
“Attending ECCE made us realize how vast this field truly is,” shared the team. “It motivated us to push our boundaries, integrate intelligent design methods, and continue pursuing higher efficiency and innovation in our future research.”
Their participation not only showcased ECIE Lab’s technical strength but also reflected Taiwan’s growing presence in the international power electronics community — reinforcing our commitment to bridging academic excellence with real-world engineering innovation.
