APEC 2021: recruiting qualified Tech Paper reviewers
36th annual Applied Power Electronics Conference has opened its Call-for-Papers; Peer-review process is critical to maintaining high quality conference content
APEC 2021, to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, from March 21-25, 2021, continues the long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to the practicing power electronics engineer.
APEC relies upon a peer-review process to ensure the quality of Technical Program Paper submissions. To help maintain this high level of excellence, APEC is reaching out to industry experts to contribute a few hours to review digests in their specific areas of expertise. A link to the reviewer registration instructions can be found on the APEC 2021 homepage.
Peer-review is required by multiple qualified individuals with direct experience in one or more of the topics comprising the conference’s thirteen technical paper tracks:
• AC-DC Converters (Single-Phase and Three-Phase Input, Power Factor Correction, CCM, DCM, CRM/BCM Control, Bridgeless, Embedded AC-DC Power Supplies, External AC-DC Adapters and Bidirectional AC-DC Converters)
