Dear Power Electronics researchers and fans,

I´m sure you have already started preparing your papers for the 22nd Int. Symposium on Power Electronics – Ee 2023. We are now slowly approaching our deadlines, so I would like to call you to propose special sessions and tutorial topics, as well. Meanwhile, two more invited speakers have joined the conference.

In this issue of the Ee 2023 Newsletter, we continue our symposium history overview, which also (somehow) reflects the development of power electronics in Serbia.

Looking forward to seeing you in Novi Sad.

Short History of Power Electronics Symposiums - Ee



Ee 1975 and beyond:
After the great success of the first conference, the organizing committee decided to continue the event in the coming years. The next conference was scheduled for the 10-12 Nov. 1975 in Belgrade, again. It was devoted to the 120th birthday of Nikola Tesla and gathered 50 papers from all research centers in ex-Yugoslavia. Around 52% were from industry, 40% from academia, and 8% from the collaboration between industry and academia. An overview paper, “Current problems of Power Electronics” was presented by Z. Plenković, and Z. Benčić highlighting the main topics and trends of research. D Šrajber and P. Miljanić proposed a “Three-phase Inverter with Digital Pulse Width Modulation” as an advanced converter solution, while R. Cajhen et all, discussed “Switching on problems with DC/AC converters for supplying induction motors”. The conference showed that there were several R&D teams in ex-Yugoslavia, that worked intensively in this field, mainly from the industry. Therefore, in 1978 the Yugoslav Coordination Committee has been established to organize the following conferences. The committee members were Izet Benca, Zvonko Benčić, Tomo Bosanac, Rafael Cajhen, Ahmet Gavranović, Mesud Ibrahimpašić, Petar Miljanić, Zvonko Plenković, Jože Pukl, Ljubiša Šipetić, Ilija Volčkov and Vladan Vučković, a mix of experts from industry and academia. They decided to spread the conference hosting from Belgrade to the other cities of Yugoslavia, so it became truly national.
