entitled " Fuzzy Logic Control in
Empowering Performance of Power
Electronic Converters " (Figure 1).
Participants had the opportunity to
explore the trends in fuzzy logic
control and their applications in
power quality mitigation during the
presentation. Overall, the NLP
attracted over 100 participants.
The IEEE PELS Malaysia Chapter

would like to thank Dr. Radzi for presenting
an NLP for all who attended
and is looking forward to more events
that are planned for the month of June
to continue its celebration of IEEE

Electronics Society (PELS) Joint Student
Branch Chapter (SBC) at the
National University of Singapore
(NUS) co-organized the IEEE Energy
Conversion Congress and Exposition-Asia
(ECCE Asia 2021). This
virtual conference had the theme
" Power Electronics and Renewable
Energy for Sustainable Development "
and focused on the latest technologies,
strategies, and challenges
faced by power electronics systems.
Throughout the conference, over
400 papers from over 30 different
countries were successfully presented
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MPEL.2021.3099578
Date of current version: 13 September 2021
at 11 main tracks and 9 special sessions.
The technical sessions included
question and answer sessions after
each presentation, which promoted
engagement and interactions between
the grouped speakers. In addition
to paper presentations, ECCE Asia
2021 also held 9 tutorial talks, 5 plenary
talks, and 1 round table. Some
notable speakers from these talks
were Prof. Low Teck Seng (National
Research Foundation, Singapore),
Prof. Hirofumi Akagi (Tokyo Institute
of Technology, Japan), Prof. Ron S.Y.
Hui (Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore), Prof. Frede Blaabjerg
(Aalborg University, Denmark), Dr.
Thomas Reindl (Solar Energy Research
Institute of Singapore), Dr. Koh
Leong Hai (Energy Research Institute
at NUS), Dr. Amit Gupta (Rolls Royce,
UK), Prof. Josep Pou (Nanyang Technological
University, Singapore), Mr.
Shripad Chandrachood (Mathworks,
USA), and Mr. Nihit Bajaj (Infineon
Technologies, Germany).
The IEEE IAS/PELS Joint SBC at
NUS conducted an IEEE PELS Young
Professionals reception as well during
ECCE Asia 2021. Additionally, the
IEEE PELS TC 12 (Energy Access
and Off-Grid Systems) introduced
the IEEE Empower a Billion Lives
(EBL) II after having much success
with EBL I.
The IEEE IAS/PELS Joint SBC
members were encouraged by the success
of the virtual event, which saw
about 700 participants in total, and
would like to thank all of the speakers
who participated in ECCE Asia 2021.
