IEEE Power Electronics Magazine - December 2019 - 73

all kinds of power electronics compo-
nents, devices, boards, systems, tools,
and more. In addition to offering high-
quality professional education semi-
nars and a full program of refereed
papers, the conference will include
an expanding exhibit hall of state-of-
the-art products and instruments for
a variety of industrial and military ap-
plications. The program offers topics
that are divided into 12 tracks:
■ "AC-DC Converters" [single-phase
and three-phase input; power factor
correction, continuous conduction
mode (CM), discontinuous CM, criti-
cal CM/boundary CM control, em-
bedded ac-dc power supplies; and
external ac-dc adapters]
■ "DC-DC Converters" (hard and
soft switched, resonant convert-
ers, point-of-load and multiphase
converters, and voltage regula-
tor modules)
■ "Power Electronics for Utility Inter-
face" (power generation, transmis-
sion, and distribution; power quali-
ty, uninterruptible power supply,
and filters; distributed energy sys-
tems; smart grid; solid-state trans-
formers; and metering)
■ "Motor Drives and Inverters"
(ac, dc, and brushless dc motor
drives; single- and multi-phase
inverters; sensor integration; actua-
tors; and high-performance drives)
■ "Devices and Components" [power
silicon (Si) MOSFETs, BJTs, and
insulated-gate bipolar transistors;
gallium nitride high-electron mobility
transistors; Si carbide MOSFETs and
BJTs; fast recovery diodes; magnetic
materials and components; capaci-
tors and supercapacitors; and inter-
connects and fuses]
■ "Power Electronics Integration and
Manufacturing" (power electronics
packaging; power modules/high den-
sity design; thermal and electromag-
netic compatibility management;
quality and system reliability; em-
bedding technologies, 3D packaging,
and additive manufacturing; and
production processes and design for
manufacturability)
■ "Modeling and Simulation" (circuits
and systems, device and component

modeling, parasitics, software tools,
and rapid prototyping)
"Control" (control of power elec-
tronic converters; current-mode
and voltage-mode control; digital
control; sensor and sensorless
control; gate drive circuits; con-
trol ICs; and microcontroller
units, digital signal processors,
field-programmable gate arrays,
and application-specified integrat-
ed circuits)
"Wireless Power Transfer" (wireless
charging, energy harvesting, power
for IoT, noncontact sensors for
power electronics)
"Renewable Energy Systems"
(photovoltaic inverters and micro
inverters, maximum power point
tracking, wind energy conversion
systems, fuel cells, grid-tied sys-
tems, bidirectional power convert-
ers, microgrid systems, and energy
storage systems)

"Transportation Power Electronics"
(vehicular power electronic circuits
and systems, power electronics for
hybrid and electric cars, power
electronics for aerospace, and
charging systems)
■ "Power Electronics Applications"
(lamp ballasts and LED lighting,
network and telecommunication
power electronics, defense and
military power electronics, ac-dc-
ac applications and matrix con-
verters, portable power, and ener-
gy harvesting).
This year, the organizers have ex-
panded the exhibit hours. As usual,
there will be two pre-APEC work-
shops on power magnetics at high fre-
quency and capacitors. Additionally,
the popular social event will be held
on Wednesday at Mardi Gras World.
It will feature Mardi Gras-themed en-
tertainment, a jazz band, and a mini
Mardi Gras parade.
