Biography of the Conference Chair
Ewald F. Fuchs received his Dipl.-Ing. from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in electrical engineering and his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado in 1970.
He joined the Siemens Corporation in Mülheim/Ruhr in 1971, where he was involved in the design of power plants and their synchronization/operation with the power system. From 1977 until present he is a Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering (ECEE) at the University of Colorado, Boulder teaching circuits/electronics, energy conversion, power system, and renewable energy classes. Prof. Fuchs serves as an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems. From 1997-2001 he was Director of Graduate Studies in ECEE.
His research interests include renewable energy sources, power quality, optimization using nonlinear programming, fuzzy-set theory, genetic algorithms, energy conversion, energy conservation, power electronics, monitoring, and fundamental/harmonic power flow.
He coauthored the textbook Power Quality in Power Systems and Electrical Machines, Elsevier/Academic Press, February 2008, 638 pages, and is lead author of the forthcoming textbook Power Conversion of Renewable Energy Systems, to be published in 2010, approx. 600 pages, by Springer. Dr. Fuchs has published about 95 journal papers and 90 conference papers.
Dr. Fuchs was awarded the best paper prize in 1972 by VDE (Verein Deutscher Elektrotechniker), the IEEE 1989 Power System Relaying Committee Award, and the IEEE 1989 Prize Paper Award of the Power Engineering Society. He is a Life Fellow of IEEE.
