Call for Papers

As a flagship international conference of the IEEE Power & Energy Society held outside North America, the PES International Meeting (IM) brings together world leading researchers, engineers, industry executives, system operators, policy makers and journal editors. Under the theme “AI-Empowered Low-Carbon Energy Transition,” PES IM 2027 will provide a high-level international platform for presenting cutting-edge research, exchanging industrial experience, and exploring global collaboration in power and energy systems. Editors-in-Chief and senior editors of IEEE Transactions will also be invited to participate, offering attendees valuable opportunities for academic exchange and engagement with the broader research community. The conference welcomes high-quality submissions on original research, methodological innovations, field applications, industrial practices, and emerging perspectives that contribute to a secure, reliable, economical, and low-carbon energy future.

The 2nd IEEE Power & Energy Society International Meeting (PES IM) will be held at the China National Convention Center in Beijing, China, from 10 to 13 January 2027. Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers on, but not limited to, the topics listed below. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore and for indexing by Ei Compendex and Scopus, subject to the review and indexing processes of the respective databases.

Transactions Paper Presentations

An author of an accepted PES Transactions paper who is interested in presenting it at the 2027 PES International Meeting can submit the paper’s abstract and/or the full paper, to the online submission and review site by the deadlines listed above. The appropriate Technical Committee Program Member will review the submission. The author will be notified of the decision by email. Please note: The author must follow the steps on the review site. The full paper will not be published in the Conference Proceedings. Do not upload the full paper as its own submission. It must be uploaded along with the abstract so there will be only one conference paper number.) Accepted Transactions papers that will be presented at the 2027 PES International Meeting will have their abstracts published in the Conference Proceedings.
