Conference Theme:
Resilient Energy Systems: Strengthening the Future Grid for a Sustainable World.
Organised by: The Australasian Committee for Power Engineering (ACPE), seven Queensland Universities and IEEE Queensland Section PES/DEIS Joint Chapter.
Overview:
The 2025 IEEE PES 35th Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (2025 IEEE PES AUPEC) will be held during 29 September – 1 October 2025 at the University of Queensland, St. Lucia Campus in Brisbane, Australia. This premier power engineering conference is financially sponsored by IEEE PES and IEEE Queensland Section. It will bring together researchers, students and industry professionals. We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract and/or a full paper.
At the 2025 IEEE PES AUPEC, we will offer a comprehensive program, featuring keynote speeches, plenary sessions, technical sessions, industry panels, and student presentations with focus on the latest advancements in power engineering, renewable energy integration, and resilient energy systems Presenters from both academia and industry will share their research and innovations aimed at addressing critical challenges in grid modernization and transition to sustainable energy systems. Full papers will be peer-reviewed and published in IEEE Xplore, while those interested in presenting their work without submitting a full paper can opt to submit only an abstract.
The 2025 IEEE PES AUPEC will provide an invaluable platform for networking and knowledge exchange, bringing together researchers, industry professionals, and students to share innovative approaches to grid modernisation, clean energy integration, and to explore the challenges for renewable technologies in the global energy landscape.
The conference invites researchers, students and industry professionals to submit new and original ideas on different aspects of power engineering, which includes but is not limited to the following broad topics:
• Power system generation, planning and operation
• Power system stability and control
• Resiliency of power grids
• Power system protection
• Power system communications
• Power electronics converters
• Power quality and harmonics
• Electrical machines and drives
• Power engineering education
• Electricity market and economics

Other information
All papers/abstracts will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers/abstract will be included in the conference proceedings. Full papers that were presented in person by one of the authors in the conference will only be published in IEEE Xplore. There is a limit of 2 submissions per registration.
There will be awards for student’s paper, which will be announced later. These awards will be exclusively for the IEEE PES student Members. First named author must be an enrolled student from a university for eligibility of these awards.

Copyright
Copyright in full papers will be assigned to IEEE to enable publication in IEEE Xplore. Copyright in Extended Abstracts remains wit the authors – they will not be published in IEEE Xplore.
IEEE POLICIES
IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., by not including it in IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
The conference organisers suggest that if an author is unable to present the paper at the conference in person, a substitute presenter should be arranged (for example, a colleague who will attend the conference).
Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarised material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and IEEE will take action against any author who has engaged in either practice.
