The development of civilisation and key events in human history have essentially been linked to the manner in which energy is acquired and used. Energy fuels industrial production and is a vital factor in human and goods transport. It powers computers and enables the work of communication systems. According to expert evaluations, by the mid-21st century, the use of electrical energy will be up to four times greater than that of all other forms of non-electrical energy combined.
The above indicators demonstrate that power electronic devices, which enable energy to be converted from one form to another and adapted to the needs of transmission, distribution and storage, as well as to the needs of users in households, factories or schools, will play a major role.
Today, applications of power electronics can be found everywhere — from home appliances and computers, in renewable sources and automated production, to transportation systems, the military industry and modern medicine. It is the foundation without which it would be difficult to imagine any segment of modern technology and everyday life. As an essential component of the 21st-century progress, this field stands as one of the pillars of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution — an era defined by energy management becoming intelligent, flexible and sustainable.
The exhibition is an accompanying part of the XXIII International Symposium on Power Electronics – Ee 2025 and is dedicated to the important contributions of leading world experts, as well as prominent Serbian scientists who have had a significant role in the development of power electronics.
