BANDUNG, itb.ac.id-School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (SEEI) Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) held the International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Power Systems (ICHVEPS) again in 2021. The conference, which was being held for the third time, was held online on October 5-6, 2021.

Around 127 papers were presented from 18 countries: Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Ecuador, France, India, Iraq, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Italy, and Australia.

The Chairperson of ICHVEPS 2021, Prof. Dr. Ir. Suwarno, M.T., IPU, expressed his hope and gratitude to all the event participants in his opening remarks. Although the event was held online, he expected that all participants from various countries could participate well and benefit from this conference. "Hopefully, the pandemic will end soon so we can hold conferences offline," said him, one of SEEI ITB Electrical Power Research Group professors.

The Dean of SEEI ITB, Dr. Tutun Juhana, S.T., M.T., welcomed the third conference. This conference was designed as an international forum for exchanging ideas, discussing, and disseminating research results in the field of high voltage engineering and power systems technology.

"The paper will be presented in three sessions. All accepted papers are selected for publication," Dr. Tutun said. He hoped that the participants could enjoy this conference even from a distance because they could not come directly to Bandung.
