ECCE 2026 Vancouver

From October 4 to 8, 2026, the KOPEL team attended the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE 2026) held in Vancouver, Canada. Yujin Shin, Kwonhoon Kim, and Taewon Park participated in the conference and presented their research while exploring recent developments in power electronics and energy conversion.

During the conference, KOPEL researchers presented their work through both Poster and Lecture Sessions.

On October 5, Kwonhoon Kim presented “Real-Time and Robust Grid Inductance Estimation in Weak Grids Using a Lightweight Physics-Informed Neural Network” in a Poster Session.

On October 7, Taewon Park delivered a Lecture Session presentation titled “Minimizing Switching Loss via Analytically Derived Gate Resistance Transition Timing.”

On October 8, Yujin Shin presented “Switching-Band Effective Inductance Enhancement of Motor-Winding Filters in Integrated OBCs via PWM Timing” in a Poster Session.

Throughout the conference, the KOPEL members attended various Technical Sessions, Special Sessions, and Poster Sessions, gaining insight into recent research trends and emerging technologies in power conversion, motor drives, and energy systems. They also had valuable opportunities to exchange ideas with researchers from around the world and broaden their academic perspectives.

The team was also delighted to meet Dr. Taehoon Jin, a KOPEL alumnus, during the conference. It was a meaningful opportunity for current and former KOPEL members to reconnect, share recent updates, and exchange thoughts on their ongoing research.

The ECCE 2026 Vancouver trip provided a valuable opportunity for KOPEL to share its research on an international stage, learn from leading researchers in the field, and strengthen connections within the global power electronics community. The conference also offered meaningful academic experiences and lasting memories for all participants.
