Past ICEPDSs
The International Conference on Electrical Power Drive Systems (ICEPDS) takes its origin since 1947; it is held every 2–3 years. Until 1991, the Conference had All-Soviet Union status; since 1987 it has received International status.
Conference History
The first Conference was held in December 1947 in Leningrad, by the initiative and under the direct supervision of Professor V. K. Popov, in the form of a meeting of the scientific and technical session on electric drives. It initiated regular meetings of a wide range of electric power engineers of the country.

The Conference discussed issues related to the restoration of industry destroyed during the Great Patriotic War, the issues of power engineering of powerful electric drives, and the theory of DC electric drives. Having become regular, the Conference was subsequently held in different cities. The geography of the Conference covers almost all regions of Russia. In Soviet times, it was held in many capitals of the Union republics: in Yerevan, Tbilisi, Baku, Tallinn, Tashkent and Alma-Ata. In the 21st century, the Conference took place in Magnitogorsk (2004), St. Petersburg (2007), Tula (2010), Ivanovo (2012), Saransk (2014), Perm (2016), and Novocherkassk (2018).
The ICEPDS 2016 conference in Perm was the first to gain IEEE support and was indexed in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, Scopus and Web of Science. The proceedings of the Novocherkassk (2018) and Saint Petersburg (2020) conferences were likewise indexed in IEEE Xplore.
