Outline of IERE

General Meetings / Forums

General meetings/forums are platforms for members’ interactions held annually, where all IERE
members and guests from a variety of ﬁelds can meet over a speciﬁc targeted theme of global
issue or interest.

Technology ForesightTechnologies are changing rapidly, and they affect the conventional utility business models. Technology Foresight (TF) Project, initiated in 2016, aims at leveraging the existing capabilities and experiences of IERE members to ﬁnd some commonalities and joint work. Identiﬁcation of the key
areas of technology development thorough the project can beneﬁt all IERE members.

IERE

Chair’s Message
Even though political and economic situation of the world are changing rapidly, it

An international, non-proﬁt organization established in 1968 as the International Electric Research Exchange. It serves executives, senior managers, engineers, and researchers who are responsible forelectricity and energy-related research & development (R&D) and solutions.

is absolutely necessary to accelerate the activities to carbon neutral. On the other
hand, resilient and affordable supply of electricity have to be achieved though thesustainable development of electric power sector. Situation is different fromcountry to country, and there would be various methods and ways to these goals.
That is why mutual understanding and exchange information of novel ideas andVision
To be a unique global platform serving its members through the exchange of technical expertise and know-how of advanced and appropriate technologies and R&D in the electric
power sector.

Workshops

Workshops are organized to discuss speciﬁc technical, socio-economic, and regional issues at theexpert level. The objective is to provide multilateral communication opportunities for members to
respond to energy needs.

R&D Collaboration

technologies are quite important.
IERE is a unique global platform to exchange technical expertise and know-how
of advanced and appropriate technologies and research and development.

The R&D Collaboration project is based on the concept of "burden sharing." Participants share theirwork by providing technological knowledge, information, skills, and work force. Members can anticipate
equal or comparable beneﬁts from the projects.

AITransformers

MissionEvaluate innovative and emerging technologies and promote their implementation torealize safe, sustainable, affordable, and resilient electric power systems.
Help establish corporate strategy related to R&D given the emerging trends inﬂuencing
the evolving power industry landscape.

IERE’ s annual workshop and forum offer the excellent opportunities for this purpose. In addition, IERE promote joint research, detailed study about selectedtechnologies through the technology foresight project and webinars on interesting topics. These activities are quite valuable to get deeper knowledge and different ideas, to know each other well, and to foster close relation among members.
It is my great honor and pleasure to have the opportunity to serve IERE as the Chair. Together with theboard members and the central office, I will do my best

Energy StorageWebinars

Webinars are a newly launched initiative that take advantage of the development of Internet ofThings (IoT) technology. The aim of webinars is to increase member participation by involving experts in technical themes useful to members, by delivering lectures online.
