Zhejiang University Hangzhou 310027 China）The ICEMS is one of the most dominant con- ferences in the world, particularly associated with the fields of electrical machines, drives, systems and renewable energies. The Conference was firstly founded in 1987, called the Beijing International Conference on Electrical Machines (BICEM). Then, every 4 years, the Conference was held in different Chinese cities, renowned as the Chinese International Conference on Electrical Machines(CICEM). Since 2001, the Con- ference was renamed as the International Conference on Electrical Machines and Systems (ICEMS) and hosted in China, Japan and Korea, respectively. Moreover, during the ICEMS2014, the International Steering Committee (ISC) decided to change the hosting countries to the “
3+x”
mode, where “
3”
is China, Japan and Korea whilst “x”
is another Asia-Pacific country/region. The first “x”
is Thailand that will organize the ICEMS2015, and the second “x”
is Australia for the ICEMS2018. Joining of the “x”
countries/regions is believed to further broaden the influence and improve the reputation of the ICEMS in the coming years. The ICEMS2014 ISC also determined the hosting countries of the ICEMS2016, 2017 and 2019 as Japan, Korea and China.The ICEMS2014 provided an international forum for researchers, professionals and engineers to present their latest research and development results, and to exchange information and experiences in the field of electrical machines and systems, such as machines topologies, design, modeling, analysis, control, manu- facture, testing, applications, maintenance, standards and education. The Conference received totally 1129 digests from 32 countries and regions. After two rounds of review for both digests and full papers, 687 regular papers from 24 countries and regions were finally accepted for presentation on the Conference, among which 204 were assigned for lecture presenta- tion in 35 oral sessions and 483 for dialogue presenta- tions in 29 poster sessions. And, 49 won the Best Paper Awards. Moreover, 6 keynote speeches and 2 invited speeches were made. After the Conference, all the regular papers and 3 keynote speech papers were delivered to the IEEE-IAS for inclusion in the IEEExplore database. The papers were also included by the EI Compendex database in early 2015. Moreover, 120 papers were selected and recommended to the IEEE Trans. on Industry Applications for peer review for possible publication, and, 36 papers were recom- mended to the COMPEL-the International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and 21 to the Trans. of CES with requirement of mandatory extension. Note, 10 papers were finally accepted for publication on the Trans. of CES, as can be read hereafter.The ICEMS2014 also attracted 22 international and Chinese companies to participate as supporters or exhibitors. The business of these companies covered the areas of electrical machine manufacture, electrical drives and power electronics, servo systems, soft magnetic materials, permanent magnet materials, design and simulation software, testing and measuring instrumentation, IC designs and applications, technical service, and electrical machine applications. Especially, the companies presented 9 plenary speeches on indus- trial techniques, which were very enjoyed by not only industry engineers but also university professors and students. Moreover, the exhibitions helped to build up bridges between industries and universities, and bet- ween manufacturers and customers. By way of exam- ple, an order of 200k stepping motors were proposed and preliminarily agreed between a British customer and a Chinese maker. Another example was that a Chinese motor manufacturer announced to make free prototypes for research purpose for Chinese academia.
