APEC 2022 Technical Digest Submissions

APEC 2022 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.

APEC 2022 will provide:

a) The best power electronics exposition;
b) Professional development courses taught by world-class experts;
c) Presentations of peer-reviewed technical papers covering a wide range of topics, and
d) A venue to network and enjoy the company of fellow power electronics professionals in a beautiful setting.

Activities and attractions for guests, spouses, and families are abundant in the Houston area.

Important Milestones (subject to change):

June 21, 2021: Digest submission site opens

August 21, 2021: EXTENDED! Deadline for submission of digests

October 27, 2021: Notification that a paper was accepted or declined

November 26, 2021: Final papers and author registrations are due

Please contact apec@epapers.org if you have additional questions.

Submission Requirements: Prospective 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. For each paper 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.
