Call for Papers: Contribute to TPEL's Special Sections on Power Electronics
Brussels, Saturday, 16 August 2025.
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL) invites researchers to submit papers for three 2025 special sections, focusing on advanced grid-connected converters and other emerging power electronics areas.
The Scope of Upcoming Special Sections
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL) has announced a call for submissions for three special sections scheduled for the 2025 publication. These sections will delve into emerging areas of power electronics, focusing primarily on advanced grid-connected converters utilizing wide bandgap technologies. The effort aims to explore innovations in the design and implementation of these converters, which are pivotal in improving energy efficiency and integration into smart grid systems [1][2].
Emerging Technologies in Power Electronics
Wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride are increasingly significant within power electronics for their superior efficiency and thermal performance compared to traditional silicon semiconductors [3]. These materials support higher power densities and are crucial for advancing single-stage grid-connected converters, thus attracting substantial interest from both researchers and industry professionals. The upcoming TPEL sections offer a formidable platform to discuss these innovatory topics alongside their implications for future power systems [1][2].
Submission Guidelines and Deadlines
The submission deadline for the special sections is set for 31 March 2025. Authors are encouraged to submit research that contributes significant advancements to the power electronics discipline, whether through novel theoretical approaches or practical implementations [1][2]. Papers will be scrutinized for their contribution to ongoing technological debates and their potential to inform regulatory compliance standards, particularly as they pertain to the European and global markets [1].
Opportunities for Global Industry Impact
The special sections are not only an opportunity for academic contributions but also for bridging the gap between research and industry applications. By aligning technological innovations with market needs, these sections aim to foster collaboration that transcends academic and professional lines, addressing significant challenges in integrating emerging technologies into existing infrastructure. This initiative holds promise for impacting sectors such as automotive, energy, and consumer technology by propelling forward-looking research into practical solutions [1][3].
