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
