Prospective authors are invited to submit digests for Technical Program papers for the upcoming APEC conference. These digests should detail the problem addressed by the paper, its significant results, and how it differs from existing literature. All submissions must be original and not previously presented or published.
Reviewers will select digests based on their practical value to power electronics professionals and the inclusion of completed experimental work. Authors must secure any necessary company or governmental clearances before submission.
Key Dates:
- Notification of acceptance: October 8, 2024
- Final paper submission and author registration: November 19, 2024
