On June 20 and 21, the IES had successfully conducted, for the first time in the Society’s history, the Administrative Committee meeting online. This first ever online AdCom meeting is of great success, with a record of 94 participating members from all continents!

As part of IEEE Connecting Experts program, Sertac Bayhan, Senior Scientist at the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute was invited in June to talk about microgrids, including the current status and also future opportunities: "Microgrids: The Pathway to Smart and Cleaner Energy Future."

The IEEE Transportation Electrification Community (TEC) is a Technical Community within the IEEE that serves as "one voice" for Transportation Electrification and coordinates broad and deep activities in the growing electrification revolution across transportation domains.

One of the key technologies for the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) is the aircraft electrical starter generator (ESG) system. This system consists of a high speed surface-mount permanent magnet synchronous machine and a three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) converter. This paper describes a high performance neutral-point voltage balancing space vector modulation technique for the three-level NPC converter within the proposed ESG system.

This article is concerned with active power sharing and frequency regulation in an islanded microgrid under event-triggered communication. A distributed secondary control scheme with a sampled-data-based event-triggered communication mechanism is proposed to achieve active power sharing and frequency regulation in a unified framework, where neighbourhood sampled-data exchange occurs only when the predefined triggering condition is violated.
