Digest submissions are now being accepted for the Technical Sessions of next year’s Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2026), to be held March 22-26 in San Antonio, Texas. Topics of interest are divided into fourteen tracks, each track featuring a diverse set of subtopics that include:

AC-DC Converters
DC-DC Converters
DC-AC Inverters
Devices and Components
Magnetics
Control Modeling and Simulation
Motor Drives
Power Electronics for Utility Applications
Renewable Energy Systems
Wireless Power Transfer
Transportation Power Electronics

The Technical Sessions digest should explain the problem that will be addressed by the proposed paper, its major results, and how it’s 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.

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 with abstracts due August 15, 2025. Authors will be notified of the decision of paper acceptance on October 14, 2025.

About the Author

Lee Goldberg | Contributing Editor

Lee Goldberg is a self-identified “Recovering Engineer,” Maker/Hacker, Green-Tech Maven, Aviator, Gadfly, and Geek Dad. He spent the first 18 years of his career helping design microprocessors, embedded systems, renewable energy applications, and the occasional interplanetary spacecraft. After trading his ‘scope and soldering iron for a keyboard and a second career as a tech journalist, he’s spent the next two decades at several print and online engineering publications.

Lee’s current focus is power electronics, especially the technologies involved with energy efficiency, energy management, and renewable energy. This dovetails with his coverage of sustainable technologies and various environmental and social issues within the engineering community that he began in 1996. Lee also covers 3D printers, open-source hardware, and other Maker/Hacker technologies.

Lee holds a BSEE in Electrical Engineering from Thomas Edison College, and participated in a colloquium on technology, society, and the environment at Goddard College’s Institute for Social Ecology. His book, “Green Electronics/Green Bottom Line - A Commonsense Guide To Environmentally Responsible Engineering and Management,” was published by Newnes Press.

Lee, his wife Catherine, and his daughter Anwyn currently reside in the outskirts of Princeton N.J., where they masquerade as a typical suburban family.
