Message from the Conference Chairman
"Power Electronics for Sustainable Growth"
The EPE Conference in Trondheim is the seventh of the series. Even after
the success of Brussels, Grenoble, Aachen, Florence, Brighton and Sevilla,
this EPE conference will offer you more. A record number of synopses have
been received (more than 950), where the increase from industry is
especially significant and has encouraged us to work very hard in
organising numerous new activities and events. These will give each EPE
conference participant the feeling of being the right person in the right
place. We have also accepted a record number of papers, 733. I am proud to
present this detailed programme for what promises to be a highly-successful
conference.
Think of the motto: "Power Electronics for Sustainable Growth". These are
no empty words. This is really what we are aiming at. The technical
programme is full of results directed towards that goal: energy savings,
rational and safe use of energy, new energy sources, renewable energy
systems, EMC, electric and hybrid vehicles, locomotives to mention only a
few of the obvious topics.
The opening and keynote sessions will be newsworthy. Mr Odd H. Hoelsæter,
president & CEO of Statnett will explain his view on the evolution of
energy supplies in Europe. Norway is the second-largest oil exporting
country in the world (only after Saudi Arabia): In our sector, three
newHVDC connections will be built between Norway and the continent. This
will be a huge investment that surely will have important consequences on
our future.
If you turn to page 22, you can see other topics that will be presented:
Integration of power components, what will change in our daily work? New
areas of applications for power electronics: you will be challenged by the
authors. The electric vehicle; a silent revolution, however an exploding
technology. But this was not enough!
We wanted more from this conference, so, we are organising a competition.
The topic? To write an essay on either "How to Teach Power Electronics for
Sustainable Growth" or "How to Develop New Power Electronics Products to
Promote Sustainable Growth". The prize? NOK 6.666 and a publication in the
EPE Journal. More details are given on page 9, so gather your best ideas.
Since we are organising this competition, Gro Harlem Brundland, our former
Prime Minister, decided to patronize the Conference. Gro Harlem Brundland
has been head of the World Commission on Environment and Development and
she hopes that our initiative will spread and open new horizons. In the
UN-report "Our Common Future" it is strongly recommended that the ideas
agreed on in the report should be taught in universities all over the
world. Please send the information about the competition to your power
electronics colleagues, especially the younger ones, all over the world.
You might influence the future!
Before the conference, there will be 11 tutorials where all the new, hot
topics will be taught. Nine will be on the NTNU campus on 6 and 7
September. Those who register will get the written documentation from all
the tutorials and will be allowed to move from one tutorial to another. We
are most enthusiastic about the two tutorials on "High power Motor Drives"
and "UPSs" which will start by touring the Troll Gas Terminal at Kollsnes
close to Bergen and continue on the newest coastal express ship (built in
1996). These tutorials will be combined with a cruise of the west coast of
Norway and the ship arrives in Trondheim on Monday morning 8 Sept. a few
hours before the conference starts!
Do you want to hear more? There is a lot to say:
The exhibition will be greatly extended. We expect more than 50 exhibitors
(there is room for 100 and we will work hard to get 100). The area for the
exhibition will be much more integrated in the conference than before, with
coffee-serving included in the same area. For the first time, there will be
several product presentations by exhibitors; these will be presented before
an informal meal on Sunday 7 September in the evening, which is combined
with the opening of the exhibition in the evening.
Further, a lot of Discussion Sessions will be organisedat at the end of the
Dialogue Sessions. The new developments in power switches will be throughly
discussed and include themes like: "Application Specific Power Modules",
"The Relationship Between Product Developers and Device Manufacturers",
"High Power Integration", "Smart Power - in various applications", "Impacts
of Integration" and "GTOs versus IGBTs".
After the conference, on Thursday 11 September there will be three
Post-Conference Technical Visits.
1) A typical Norwegian hydropower plant with the generators inside the
mountain. The station is within the city limits of Trondheim (!) and is
owned by Trondheim Power Utility.
2) Siemens power electronics factory and a converter station feeding the 16
2/3 Hz for the Norwegian State Railways.
3) ADtranz charter train to the Stømmen factory close to Oslo. We will
learn about the new tilting trains that the Norwegian State Railways has
ordered. At the factory there will be a press conference where a new train
will be presented. The attraction to get the press there will be increased
by our presence. ADtranz will provide buses for a one hour drive to Oslo
airport.
So, those who start at Kollsnes close to Bergen and return from Oslo after
the train trip across mountain plateaus and glaciated valleys must sign up
fast. First come, first served. There is a special offer from SAS for the
air-ticket.
We have worked hard. But with the expected success, it is a pleasure for us
to welcome you to the EPE '97 conference in Trondheim. At the end I will
like to mention how enthusiastic ABB and other Norwegian and Danish
companies have generously sponsored the conference, so the fee to
participate is the same as in Seville in 1995! The companies are listed in
the provisional programme, and you will learn more from those companies at
the conference and by looking at our WWW

GENERAL ORGANISATION
The city of Trondheim
Trondheim was founded by King Olav Tryggvason in 997 A.D. It was the
country's first capital city (until 1217). Trondheim is located by one of
the largest fjords of Norway with the salmon river Nidelven running through
its centre.
Today the city has close to 150000 inhabitants and its total area is 342
square km. The city is an administration, business and technology centre in
a rich agricultural area surrounding the Trondheim fjord. It is a
university city and has Norway's most advanced research community in
science and technology.
During the whole millenium year of 1997, there will be numerous special
events such as The World Ski Championships in February/March, and the
combined 60th birthday celebration of our King and Queen in June, where
royalty from most of the European royal families will attend.
A map of the city is enclosed. References to places shown on the map are
put in the text. One cm on this map is about 140 m.
Weather
Normally the weather is pleasant in Trondheim in September. The
temperature may vary between 10-15 degrees C. Rainy days may occur, and we
recommend appropriate shoes and clothing, since some events in the social
programme will take place outdoors.
Travel
There are frequent domestic flights between Trondheim and the international
airports in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger. Flying time between Oslo and
Trondheim is 45 minutes. There are approximately 27 departures from Oslo to
Trondheim daily. There are two daily direct flights between Copenhagen and
Trondheim.
SAS (Scandinavian Airlines Systems) is the official carrier of the
congress. Please state the reference number "NO 9701" when you make your
flight reservation at a SAS travel agency, and you will obtain a discount
price.
Travelling by train within Norway gives an excellent opportunity for
sightseeing, and Norwegian trains are of a high standard. The train
journey over the mountains from Oslo to Trondheim takes approximately 7
hours. There are four departures from Oslo to Trondheim daily.
An interesting alternative is to travel by coastal express boat from Bergen
to Trondheim, a journey of approximately 30 hours along the rugged
Norwegian coastline (see pre-conference tours). Your travel agent, or any
SAS travel agency, can supply you with full details on travel to Trondheim.
An APEX air ticket allows transfer to one city in a country, for instance
Bergen, and return from another city in the same country, for instance
Trondheim or Oslo.
Accommodation
The Conference Secretariat has made reservations at several good hotels
within various price categories. All hotels are situated in the city centre
of Trondheim and within approximately 15 minutes walk from the conference
area.
The number of rooms within each category is limited. For reservations,
please fill in the necesssary information on the registration form. The
Royal Garden Hotel is probably the best hotel, it also offers the largest
number of rooms and the largest conference discount.
Rooms will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. We therefore
strongly recommend you to register as early as possible. Reservations have
been made for the conference period. If you would like to extend your
reservation we will do our best to help you. Please note: The registration
deadline for hotel reservations is 1 JULY 1997. After this date we are
only able to confirm hotel accommodation on an availability basis due to
the special situation in Trondheim with the millennium celebrations. We
therefore strongly recommend you to register as early as possible. Please
note that we cannot guarantee hotel accommodation after this deadline.
Reservations must be guaranteed by a credit card. In case of no show etc.
without prior notice to the Secretariat, you will be charged for one night.
Further information will be enclosed with the letter of confirmation of the
registration.
Conference information
Venue
The conference will take place at the Nidarøhallen Convention Centre (map:
20). Nidarøhallen is situated close to the riverbanks of Nidelven, about 15
minutes walking distance from the city centre and the major hotels.
Language
English will be used in all printed documents and during the lecture sessions.
Proceedings
Proceedings will be published by the EPE Association, Brussels, and handed
out to the participants at the conference. Proceedings are included in the
full registration fee.
Personal invitation
If a personal invitation to attend the conference is required, please contact the Conference Secretariat.
Lunches
Lunches will be served each day at the times shown in the programme. One
lunch ticket for each day is included in the full registration fee. Tickets
will be provided at registration and must be presented for service. Please
mark on the registration form if vegetarian food is required.
Exhibition
During the EPE'97 Conference, a commercial exhibition will be organised.
This is a unique opportunity to see and/or show products and have prolonged
discussions with fellow specialists in the field of Power Electronics and
Drives.
The aim of the exhibition is to promote technical discussions and business
contacts between specialists in the field. The exhibition will be ideally
situated in the middle of the Conference site, where the coffee will be
served during the breaks and the afternoons. On Sunday 7 September evening,
there will be an informal meal, special products presentations followed by
the official opening of the exhibition.
This year, next to the regular topics, special attention will be devoted to
