Welcome to SDEMPED 2021
On behalf of the SDEMPED 2021 Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome you to 13th edition of the IEEE International Symposium on Diagnostics for Electric Machines, Power Electronics and Drives 2021.
This is the 24th year since the first SDEMPED was established as the only international symposium entirely devoted to the diagnostics of electrical machines, power electronics and drives. SDEMPED is now a regular biennial event. Since it was created in 1997, very successful editions have been held during the past 10 years in Cargèse (France) in 2009, Bologna (Italy) in 2011, Valencia (Spain) in 2013, Guarda (Portugal) in 2015, Tinos (Greece) in 2017, and Toulouse (France) in 2019. For this edition, SDEMPED 2021 obtained the co-sponsorship of the IEEE Power Electronics Society, the IEEE Industry Applications Society and the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society.
This year SDEMPED was going to be held in Dallas (Grapevine Area); however, due to pandemic, it will be a virtual event. The SDEMPED 2021 Organizing Committee wishes you a very successful, pleasant and outstanding symposium. Let’s make this an enjoyable and rewarding event.
