Objective of the Conference
The primary objective of ICSPCRE-2026 is to bring together academicians, researchers, and industry professionals on a common platform to exchange knowledge, share research outcomes, and enhance collaborative efforts in the domain of smart power control and renewable energy.
In the present era, electrical energy plays a pivotal role in achieving sustainable development through renewable energy integration, optimized energy utilization, and advancements in electric vehicle technologies. However, without effective coordination between power generation units, energy sources, and end-users, the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations cannot be achieved at a large scale.
This conference aims to provide a unified platform for energy, power electronics, and control engineers to exchange ideas, foster innovation, and contribute toward achieving the SDGs. The event is particularly beneficial for postgraduate research scholars, offering exposure to cutting-edge research and global expertise.
