As President of IEEE Canada, I am extremely impressed with the dedication and enthusiasm of the Conference Organizing Committee Members. I congratulate them all for their team effort that is adding to the success of the Conference. The Conference theme is “Sustainable/ Renewable Energy Systems and Technologies” and the Technical Committee Members are top names in the power engineering field in Canadian power industry and academia such as Concordia University, IREQ and the University of Ottawa. I note that the conference is organized along ten tracks, and three panels that includes close to 136 papers and posters. Each was evaluated based on the basis of full manuscript and reviewed by at least two experts in the field. I look forward to an excellent conference and to major technical achievements.
