WELCOME
The 7th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference, GPECOM2025, focuses on the latest technologies, researches and challenges of power electronics, energy systems and communication technologies. The conference will be held at Mercure Hotel Bochum City on June 11‒13, 2025.
GPECOM2025 will be in a hybrid concept combining in-person and online presentations to accommodate a broader audience and diverse participation. The primary objective of GPECOM2025 is to offer a platform for researchers to share their most recent research findings in various domains including Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Drives, Control Systems, Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution, Conventional and Renewable Energy Systems, as well as cutting-edge technologies related to Microgrids and Smart Grids, Communication Systems, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. The conference aims to foster a professional network that connects researchers, academicians, industry professionals, engineers, and experts in these specialized research areas. The conference actively encourages the submission of research papers that cover power, energy, and communication systems, with an emphasis on control, modelling, design, integration, and practical applications across the technical track (TT) fields.
GPECOM2025 is a peer-review conference with blind review process.
The technical topics of the regular sessions include but are not limited to the following topics:
TT1- Power Electronics, Devices and Controllers
TT2- Electrical Machines and Drives
TT3- Conventional and Renewable Energy Technologies
TT4- Smart Grid Researches and Applications
TT5- Communication Technologies and Researches
Detailed complete list of tracks and topics can be found at here
Paper Submission and Post-Conference Publishing
Prospective authors are invited to electronically submit full papers in English, 6 pages, in pdf format following instructions accessible via www.gpecom.org. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore online digital library, and Web of Science Core Collection.
Up to 20% of the best papers presented at the GPECOM2025 could be eligible for review and publication on the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications or IEEE Industry Applications Magazine.
The paper submission and review processes are going to managed via Microsoft Conference Management System (Microsoft CMT) as done in the past GPECOM conferences. The paper submission system can be accessed at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/GPECOM2025 address.

Industry Forum sessions at GPECOM2025
IEEE GPECOM 2025 will host Industry Forum sessions during the conference, addressing the general themes in trends and advances in actuation technologies, industrial electronics technologies, power electronics applications, trends and innovations in intelligent grid analytics.
The Industry Forum is a GPECOM program for Industry to engage with research in a productive manner. Industry speakers attend to discuss industry, technology directions, and challenges for the companies. These presentations inform the attendees on the vision and application of technologies in business and what challenges companies are encountering. The forum also offers the opportunity for researchers to study these challenges and know the contact in the companies should they have a solution that the company might utilize. We invite all conference attendees to engage in the Industry Forum and listen to the presentations of our industry speakers so all communities can benefit.
The detailed information of sessions can be found at Industry Forum page.
