The Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (AUPEC), a well-established event with a 34-year history, has now become the IEEE PES Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference. Despite this transition, AUPEC maintains its rich tradition of uniting academics, students, researchers, and practicing engineers-primarily from Australasia, but increasingly from around the globe. The conference remains a platform for presenting groundbreaking ideas and developments in power and energy engineering.

AUPEC 2024 took place from 20th to 22nd November in Sydney Australia and covered a broad spectrum of topics, including:

• Power system stability, operation, and control
• Power system planning and operation
• Grid resiliency and protection
• Power system communications
• Power electronics and converter technologies
• Power quality and harmonic mitigation
• Electrical machines and drives
• Advances in power engineering education
• Electricity markets and economics
• Renewable energy technologies
• Energy storage systems
• Distributed and consumer energy resources
• Demand-side management
• Virtual power plants
• Microgrid development (AC, DC, and hybrid)
• Multi-carrier energy systems, including hydrogen integration
• Asset management in power systems
• Cybersecurity challenges in the energy sector
• Electrification of transportation systems
• Data analytics applications in power engineering
• FACTS and HVDC systems
• Impacts of climate change on energy infrastructures
• Energy transition strategies
