the 2015 WoW will be further reviewed
by IEEE Journal of Emerging and
Selected Topics in Power Electronics.
The 2015 WoW offers two special
activities for all volunteers:
■■a ride on an online electric vehicle
■■a guided tour of the cities of
Gongju and Buyeo, which are the
ancient Korean capitals around
Daejeon.
