Welcome to APEC 2015 Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition
Message from the Chair                                                     Wednesday Night Social
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the  30th Annual
                                                      IEEE Applied Power
Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC2015) at Charlotte Convention Center
in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina.
For thirty years, APEC has established itself as the leading power electronics
conference and exposition and also evolved as an annual get-together for applied
power electronics professionals for knowledge exchange and networking. Like                    “Join Us in the Fast Lane”

electronics professionals.
The highly-regarded Professional Education Seminars start on Sunday, March
15th before the official opening of the conference. Each of the three-and-a-half-
hour seminars provides an in-depth discussion of important and complex power
electronics topics and combines practical application with theory. The Plenary
Session on Monday afternoon consists of distinguished speakers from industry
and academia covering the key power electronics architectures, components,
innovations, and technologies affecting our industry and society. The technical
papers presented in lecture and dialogue formats are selected from over 900 digests
submitted from 44 countries. Increasingly popular industry sessions have reached
an all-time high with 93 accepted presentations in 15 sessions.
The exposition also hits its record high participation with 239 exhibitors. These
global exhibitors will showcase the state-of-art technologies, products, and solutions
on applied power electronics augmented by the exhibitor seminars. This year’s Rap
Sessions include three moderated debates on Wireless Transfer of Power, Variable
Speed Drives, and the Who, What, Where When and Why of Wide-Bandgap devices.

Welcome to APEC 2015 Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition
Technical and Dialogue Sessions
APEC professionals like you participated in a rigorous peer review process and have carefully picked 541 papers
making up APEC’s Technical Sessions. The review process highlights the most innovative technical solutions,
and provides the highest quality possible. The technical program includes papers of broad appeal scheduled for oral
presentation from Tuesday morning through Thursday afternoon. Papers with a more specialized focus are available
for discussion with authors at the dialogue session on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. The various technical venues cover all
areas of technical interest to the practicing power electronics professional. The papers are sure to give you many new
design ideas that you can apply to your work immediately.
