The Technical Program includes peer-reviewed papers that cover all areas of technical interest for the practicing power electronics professional. The rigorous review process highlights the most innovative technical solutions, and provides the highest quality possible and includes papers of broad appeal presented during the lecture sessions and those with a more specialized focus that make up the dialogue sessions.

Call for Technical Session Papers

APEC 2021 continues the long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to the practicing power electronic engineer. Outstanding technical content is provided at one of the lowest registration costs of any IEEE conference.

SUBMIT YOUR PAPER

SIGN UP TO BE A REVIEWER

Important Milestones (subject to change):

June 8, 2020: Digest submission site opens

November 27, 2020: Updated deadline for submission of digests

February 5, 2021: Notification that a paper was accepted or declined

March 20, 2021: Final papers and author registrations are due

Submission Requirements: Prospecitve authors are asked to submit a digest explaining the problem that will be addressed by the paper, the major results, and how this is different from the closest existing literature. Papers presented at APEC must be original material and not have been previously presented or published. The principal criteria in selecting digests will be the usefulness of the work to the practicing power electronic professional. Reviewers value evidence of completed experimental work. Authors should obtain any necessary company and governmental clearance prior to submission of digests.

If a digest is accepted, authors must submit a final manuscript before the deadline or the manuscript cannot be published in the Proceedings or presented at the conference. Both the technical paper and its APEC presentation file will be distributed as protected Adobe PDF files (text and graphics copy protected). Submission of your digest serves as your implicit agreement and consent to electronic distribution of your presentation. Final manuscripts may be subject to charges if their papers are over the page or file-size limit. At least one of the authors listed on a paper must be registered for either a Full Registration or for the Technical Sessions Only registration, per paper.
