The participation of the Power Electronics team at the University of Kassel in the European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (ECCE Europe) in Valencia, Spain, provided an opportunity to present current research, exchange scientific ideas, and strengthen collaborations within the international power electronics community. It took place from 14 to 18 September at the Valencia Conference Center and was jointly organized by IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and the European Center for Power Electronics (ECPE). The conference is one of the leading events worldwide in the power electronics community, the team was involved in 11 publications and therefore the largest group at this year.

The participation strengthened the team's international visibility and provided a valuable platform for scientific exchange, networking, and identifying opportunities for future research collaborations.
