Dear Experts and Scholars:

The transformation of the energy structure and the large-scale development and utilization of renewable energy sources prompted the grid system to start a new round of major changes, especially the rapid development of new technologies represented by multi-terminated flexible DC transmission and distribution technology, which has continuously given rise to a large number of new types of power equipment. At the same time, the working scene of the electrical power equipment is quite complicated, and it usually involves the coupling of multi-physical field during the insulation and discharge. Additionally, the electromagnetic field and the plasma discharge have strong interaction with the materials. Therefore, these difficulties result in a long R&D and design cycle for current power equipment with high R&D costs. Whether a more accurate computation method can be obtained to shorten the design and development cycle of power equipment and reduce the development cost is an important issue that researchers have been facing for a long time. In addition, most of the current computation software for electric power equipment comes from foreign companies, and it is urgent to develop a computation and analysis platform for electric power equipment with independent intellectual property rights.

With the introduction of analytical methods from many disciplines such as electromagnetism, heat transfer, mechanics, and atomic-molecular physics, understanding of the complex physical processes involved in various electric power equipment has been deepened. Meanwhile, the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data in recent years creates new opportunities for the development of insulation and discharge computation of electric power equipment.

To this end, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an High Voltage Apparatus Research Institute Co., Ltd, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Electrical Contact and Arc Committee of China Electrotechnical Society, Power Transmission and Transformation Equipment Committee of China Electrotechnical Society, Engineering Dielectric Committee of China Electrotechnical Society, Power Transformation Committee of Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering and Plasma and their Applications Committee of China Electrotechnical Society will jointly host the 5th International Symposium on Insulation and Discharge Computation for Power Equipment. The conference will be held in Harbin, China from August 29th to 31th, 2025. The conference was jointly organized by Harbin University of Science and Technology and National Key Laboratory of High-performance Special Cable Technology.

The conference will comprehensively explore the achievements and latest progress in the field of insulation and discharge computations of electric power equipment, discuss the opportunities, challenges, and future development direction of the field, advocate the development of China's independent computation and design software, devote to strengthen the academic exchange between peers in electric power equipment computation, establish a platform for cooperation between industry, university and institutes, promote the communication and contact with other disciplines and industries in the related field, and finally aim to develop the power equipment design and manufacturing technology in China. The Organizing Committee sincerely invites colleagues from academies and industries all over the country and warmly welcomes overseas colleagues to visit.

This conference will set up conferences for young researchers and graduate students to present high-quality papers and excellent oral reports, and issue certificates of honor.

The relevant meeting matters are announced as follows.

1. The content of the submitted papers is required to conform to the above conference theme and the confidentiality regulations of the country and the unit.

2. The conference includes abstracts (in Chinese or English) and also accepts full-text submissions, which will be compiled into a book, but full-text submissions are not required for participation in the conference. After the conference, the excellent submissions will be recommended by the organizing committee and reviewed by the editorial board and will be published with priority in 《Plasma Science and Technology》《Transactions of China Electrotechnical Society》《High Voltage Apparatus》《Electric Machines and Control》.  The manuscripts will be published in the form of special topics first. The remaining papers accepted by the conference and presented at the conference will be published by Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE, ISSN: 1876-1100, EI-Compendex source) under Springer-Verlag with the consent of the authors. Supporting media include: "High Voltage Electrical Information" "Transactions of China Electrotechnical Society" "High Voltage Engineering" "Journal of Xi’an Jiaotong University" "Plasma Science and Technology " WeChat Official Accounts.
