Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great honor to invite you to participate in the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Predictive Control of Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (PRECEDE 2023), which will be held at the East Lake International Conference Center, Wuhan, China, during June 16-19, 2023.

The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry, and to share research findings and discuss future developments in model predictive control for electrical drives and power electronics. Numerous excellent experts and talents in the field of model prediction both domestically and internationally will attend the conference, which is a great opportunity to exchange ideas and promote the development in this discipline.

This conference comprises various tutorials, invited speeches, oral and poster presentations. After a rigorous reviewing process by the technical committee and other experts of model predictive control, all accepted papers of PRECEDE 2023 will be published in conference proceedings by IEEE and included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Meanwhile, all conference papers can be submitted to IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL) after further modifications as required by the TPEL.

As the host and conference organizer, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the sponsorship of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). We thank all the sponsors, exhibitors, session chairs, volunteers, and conference staff for your great dedication to make this event a success. We are very grateful for the hard work of the experts on various committees. Your continuous efforts made it possible for PRECEDE 2023 to proceed smoothly. Taking this opportunity, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all reviewers who have reviewed all technical papers professionally to ensure the high-quality publication of the conference proceedings.

We sincerely hope that all participants will have in-depth discussions with each other and build lasting friendships during this conference. Wish you a pleasant and fruitful stay in Wuhan.
