Introduction

This is the Home Page for the IEEE Power & Energy Society, Electric Machinery Committee.

For a quick summary of the EMC activities, you are welcome to check out our flyer!

Scope: The Electric Machinery Committee is concerned with all matters related to the requirements, research, development, application, design, construction, operation, or supervision of electrical machinery associated with generation of electric energy; its conversion into other forms of electric energy or mechanical energy. The scope includes treatment of the following:

Synchronous machines
Induction machines
DC and Permanent Magnet machines
Motor generator sets
Rotating frequency changers
Electric couplings, brakes and dynamometers
Magneto-hydrodynamic energy conversion ducts
Insulation, magnetic, conductor, and super conductor materials as used in electrical machinery
Linear Electric Machinery
Power Electronic controls for electric machinery
Effects of power electronic controls on electric machine components.

IEEE PES AWARDS and IEEE TECHNICAL FIELD AWARDS

Members of the Electric Machines Committee (EMC) and its subcommittees and working groups are candidates for EMC Awards, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Power and Energy Society (PES) Awards and IEEE Technical Field Awards.  The EMC Awards include the EMC Service Award, EMC Prize Paper and EMC Prize Working Group (Standard or Committee Report) which are awarded annually at the IEEE PES Annual Meeting; usually convened in July.  The EMC is especially interested in nominations for prize paper consideration.  The nomination should include the citation in the Transactions and a description of what sets this paper apart from all others receiving Transactions status. Contact nilssonn@sbcglobal.net with nominations.

IEEE PES Awards and IEEE Technical Field Awards are not nominated by the EMC but rather by IEEE members.  EMC members make good candidates for these awards and as can be seen below have been the honorees on many occasions.  For nomination forms, contact s.nason@ieee.org or srellis@ieee.org.  A brief description of these awards is summarized below in order of applicability to the EMC:

IEEE Nikola Tesla Award:  Major EMC participants who have received it include Tom Nehl, Shep Salon, Jim Kirtley, Nabeel Demerdash, Paul Dandeno, Tom Lipo, Carl Flick and Jay White.  The award was established in 1975 by the IEEE Board of Directors and it is presented for outstanding contributions to the generation and utilization of electric power.  Nikola Telsa, whom this awards honors, was a pioneer in many electrical areas but is probably best known as the inventor of the AC induction motor.

IEEE PES Cyril Veinott Award:  Major EMC participants who have received it include Osama Mohammed, Oleg Wasynczuk, Aziz Rahman and Paul Nippes.  This award recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of electromechanical energy conversion.  Cyril Veinott, whom this award honors, was responsible for numerous practical improvements in the design and application of electric motors over a fifty year time span.

IEEE Charles Proteus Steinmetz Award:  This award recognizes exceptional contributions to the development and advancement of standards in electrical and electronics engineering.  While no EMC member has been an honoree, other standards recognition has been given to EMC members such as Jim Michalec.

IEEE Richard Harold Kaufmann Award:  The major EMC participant who has received this award is Jim Oliver.  The award was established in 1986 by the IEEE Board of Directors and it is presented for outstanding contributions in industrial systems engineering.  Richard Kaufmann, whom this award honors, made many contributions to industrial systems engineering.  Rotating machines are a major part of industrial systems.

Nominators should also contact IEEE about the PES Meritorious Service Award, PES Power Engineering Educator Award and PES Young Engineer Award among others.  Also, don’t forget to nominate an EMC colleague for Fellow status.

IEEE PES EMC NOMINATED AWARD WINNERS

This posting lists Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power and Energy Society (PES) Electric Machinery Committee (EMC) winners of the EMC Distinguished Service Award, EMC Prize Paper Award and EMC Working Group Recognition Award by year for the last several years.  These data were previously tracked by the IEEE Power Engineering Society Organization and Committee Directory in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s and can be located in library copies of these directories.
