Lock in the resources that will support your career

PELS members enjoy professional privileges that keep them current and competitive in the workplace. The primary goal of PELS is to give its members the tools they need to stay on top of new technologies and other advances in power electronics, while growing personally as well as professionally. To achieve this goal, PELS provides all of its members with the following:

A personal subscription to the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics in electronic format, and the PELS newsletter. The printed version of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics is available at a heavily discounted members-only price.
Opportunities to actively participate in technical committees, conference committees, chapters, and similar professional service activities.
Advance information on conferences, workshops, and symposia, as well as member discounts on registration fees.
Easy access to books, tutorials, proceedings, and videotapes at discounted member rates.
Opportunities to network with friends, colleagues, and leaders throughout the field, to enhance individual professional development and career standing.
Opportunities to develop leadership and management skills by holding elective office in the society, or by serving as a volunteer on one of the PELS committees or chapters.

To join, please take advantage of IEEE's online membership application page.

Membership Renewal Information and Details

Basic Dues

The basic member dues for 2002 will be $10. Included in the basic benefits are:

The IEEE Power Electronics Society quarterly newsletter.
Mail and newsletter announcements of all major conferences.
Online access to the electronic version of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
Access to new members-only web information (including a members-only tutorial section), which will begin early in 2002.

Society members may choose to continue receiving the printed IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, which remains at the Society Member rate of just $15. The total cost of membership and the printed Transactions is just $25.

Combined Electronic Product in 2002

For the IEEE membership renewal cycle in 2002, look for a combined product: the Power and Electronic Systems Journal Package. For a single price of $48, this provides a subscriber with electronic access to six key journals in the power area:

IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics
IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications
IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

The package price is far less expensive than the members-only print subscription rate for these publications.

Renewal Details

To renew, please notice that the membership renewal ID number is 035-0351, with a cost of $10 for an annual membership. For a member subscription to the printed Transactions, be sure your renewal includes ID number 035-4501, with a cost (based on ground shipping) of $15. Members can also subscribe to the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems at a member rate of $25, and to the combined electronic transactions package for $48.
