ICHVEPS 2021 Highlights the Latest Topics in High Voltage Engineering and Power Systems

The 3rd International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Power Systems 2021 (ICHVEPS 2021) is the third biennial conference organized by the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia as an international forum for the exchange of ideas, discussion and dissemination of research and technology results in the field of High Voltage Engineering and Power Systems.

ICHVEPS 2021 is a biennial conference organized by the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, with support from PT PLN (Persero), PT. Indonesia Comnet Plus, PT. LAPI and technically sponsored by the IEEE Indonesia Section, Power and Energy Society Indonesia Chapter, and the Indonesia Inter-University Forum on High Voltage Engineering.

This is the third ICHVEPS conference since its inception. Previously, ICHVEPS was held offline; in 2017 and 2019, ICHVEPS was held in Bali, Indonesia. The pandemic forced all events to be held online to prevent the spread of the pandemic, and ICHVEPS was no exception. This time, ICHVEPS was held online.

Despite this, the online conference allowed for a full complement of speakers from various countries to attend. Participants' enthusiasm remained undiminished despite the online conference.

The event was marked by an opening speech from Dr. Tutun Juhana as the dean of the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, followed by an opening speech from Prof. Suwarno as the chairman of the conference. Dr. Prof. Suwarno thanked all parties who helped make this event possible, including all sponsors and supporters. He also hoped that this conference would be beneficial for all participants. Although currently held online, hopefully in the future, ICHVEPS can be held offline and can meet face to face with fellow participants.

The conference will be held online over two days, October 5-6, 2021, using the Zoom app. A total of 127 papers from 18 countries will be presented in three plenary sessions and 20 parallel sessions.

Invited lectures were given by 15 prominent speakers such as: Prof. Udaya Madawala from New Zealand, Prof. Masayuki Hikita from Japan, Prof. Guan-Jun Zhang from China, Prof. Abu Siada from Australia, Prof. Eduard Mulyadi from USA, Dr. MV Reddy from Canada, Prof. Andrea Cavallini from Italy, Prof. R. Sarathi from India, Prof. Gilbert Teyssedre from France, Prof. Norasage Pattanadech from Thailand, Prof. Pekik A. Dahono, Dr. Tumiran, Dr. Nanang Haryanto, Dr. Andreas, and Prof. Suwarno from Indonesia.
