August 15, 2025, is the deadline for submission of Technical Sessions digests for the 41st annual edition of the Applied Power Electronics Conference.
APEC 2026, to be held in San Antonio, Texas, from March 22-26, 2026, continues the long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to the practicing power electronics engineer. APEC is now accepting digest submissions for the Technical Sessions. Interested authors wishing to present a paper must submit a digest for consideration by August 15, 2025. Instructions for submissions are available at: https://apec-conf.org/speakers/ts-author-info/. To facilitate higher quality digest and final manuscript submissions, APEC 2026 offers significantly expanded submission windows for both the phases. Topics of interest are divided into fourteen tracks, each track with a diverse set of subtopics:
1. AC-DC Converters
2. DC-DC Converters
3. DC-AC Inverters
4. Devices and Components
5. Magnetics
6. Power Electronics Integration and Manufacturing
7. Control
8. Modeling and Simulation
9. Motor Drives
10. Power Electronics for Utility Applications
11. Renewable Energy Systems
12. Wireless Power Transfer
13. Transportation Power Electronics
14. Power Electronics Applications
“APEC provides an ideal balance between academic and industrial research and is a meeting ground for these two areas, unlike any other power electronics conference,” said Dhaval Dalal, APEC 2026 Program Chair. “APEC tops the list of the IEEE power electronics conferences for average paper citations — as of May 2025, 7.4 for APEC 2019 and 4.8 for APEC 2022.”
Deepak Veereddy, APEC 2026 Assistant Program Chair added, “APEC greatly values student contributions and offers many career-oriented growth opportunities and benefits for students that include (and not limited to) Student Job Fair, Student Session Assistant program, Student Mentorship Program and Student Travel Grant.”
The Technical Sessions digest should explain the problem that will be addressed by the paper, its major results and how it is different from the closest existing literature. Technical Sessions papers presented at APEC must be original material and not have been previously presented or published. The principal criteria used by reviewers in selecting digests for the program will be the usefulness of the work to the practicing power electronics professional. They also value evidence of completed experimental work. Authors should obtain any necessary company and governmental clearance prior to submission of digests.
Authors will be notified of the decision of paper acceptance on October 14, 2025. Accepted papers in final form must be submitted and author registration completed by December 8, 2025.
