IEEE Power & Energy Magazine - November/December 2015 - 8

outstanding chapters of 2015 are seattle
(large chapter category, chaired by Kevin
schneider), and Croatia (small chapter category, chaired by Igor Kuzle).
Pes publications are among the most
respected professional publications in the
world and continue to attract the best and
brightest authors. our most recent additions to the group, IEEE Transactions on
Smart Grid and IEEE Transactions on
Sustainable Energy, are enjoying impact
factors of 4.334 and 3.656, respectively.
the older transactions are also well recognized by their high impact factors (IEEE
Transactions on Energy Conversion:
3.353; IEEE Transactions on Power Systems: 3.53; IEEE Transactions on Power
Delivery: 1.733). we are actively continuing to explore the world of open access
publications, and our new open access
publication, IEEE Power and Energy
Technology Systems Journal, is attracting
the attention of practitioners, to whom it
is dedicated. Pes publication activity is
not only a prestigious venue where our
brightest members present the results of

their research but is also a means for us
to present the state-of-the-art research in
energy to our members around the world.
It is part of our global outreach.
IEEE Power & Energy Magazine
has won many awards under the able
leadership of editor-in-Chief mel olken
and an editorial board consisting of some
of the most influential and recognized
academic and industry researchers. Its
thematically focused issues are reaching
the desks of our 33,000+ members every
second month as part of their Pes membership. to increase the global outreach
of IEEE Power & Energy Magazine, we
hope to introduce the first translations of
the magazine to non-english-speaking
members as early as next year. our first
translations will likely be dedicated to our
spanish and Chinese readers. Pes transactions and magazines continue to generate a net revenue of almost Us$2 million
a year, helping support many of our
other programs. Under the leadership
of mariesa Crow, VP Publications, our
publications are growing and attracting

ever larger audiences of younger readers
around the globe.
the Pes conference business is another
strong source of our global outreach and a
source of income for many other activities.
By organizing about 40 international conferences annually, we are reaching across
all continents and into every region. some
of our conferences are very well attended.
the 2014 transmission & distribution
Conference in Chicago, celebrating its 50th
anniversary, attracted over 14,000 attendees, while the 2015 general meeting had
3,395 attendees. International conferences
like Powertech, held in June 2015 in eindhoven, the netherlands, attracted over
700 attendees; the Ieee-IeemA Intelect
Conference, organized jointly between
Ieee and the Indian association IeemA
