Technical Activities Overview
About IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Technical Activities
The IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Technical Activities, directed by the IEEE PES Technical Council, play a critical role in advancing the electric power and energy industry. Through its Technical Activities Committees (TAC), PES focuses on addressing current and emerging challenges, shaping industry standards, and sharing essential research and developments. These efforts drive innovation, improve reliability, and support the global transition to smarter, more sustainable power systems.
