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 its predecessors, APEC2015 offers a rich and comprehensive program and an ideal environment for application and theory-based technical learning for all power electronics professionals. “Join Us in the Fast Lane” SOCIAL EVENT An evening you won’t want to miss! The highly-regarded Professional Education Seminars start on Sunday, March 15th before the official opening of the conference. Each of the three-and-a-halfhour 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. The social event on Wednesday night will be at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The 150,000 square foot complex is packed with high-tech, interactive fun where the APEC attendees can try their luck racing against other attendees at over 200 miles per hour (322 km/hr) in the Racecar Simulator or race against time in the Pit Crew Challenge. A special guest Ray Everham, a three time Winston Cup Series Champion with driver Jeff Gordon, will provide insights to engineering challenges of racing. New this year is a new APEC Mobile App, which will provide attendees access to an interactive directory and map of the exhibitors on their mobile devices. For the first time, APEC will also start providing on-line proceedings at the conference for easier access. Charlotte, a first-time city for APEC, is located in the center of the East Coast, USA with its major airport serving more than 143 destinations worldwide via all major carriers. The airport to Center City is only 7 miles (11 km) and it is a very-walkable city with over 120 fine restaurants and over 50 entertainment destinations. I hope you will enjoy the city and all it has to offer. Charlotte’s got a lot. I would like to take this opportunity and thank each of the three sponsors – IEEE IAS, IEEE PELS, and PSMA. Special thanks are also due to the dedicated and untiring members of the organizing and steering committees, reviewers, session chairs, and other volunteers. You provide tremendous support. Finally, a big thank you to our loyal APEC exhibitors and attendees for your continued support and feedback which has helped APEC evolve to its current status and to meet your growing needs. Aung Thet Tu General Chair, IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition 2015 Join us for APEC’s social event celebration at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, a shrine to the history and heritage of NASCAR and a must see for all! Enjoy an evening of fun and games, gourmet food and unique entertainment. All night long, you’ll have unlimited access to this historical multi-level venue, interactive exhibits and historical artifacts. In addition to delicious food and music, you’ll have the unique opportunity to join us in the driver’s seat for racing simulator games (limited availability) and a pit crew challenge!

Industry Sessions At APEC 2015, the Industry Sessions track is even bigger; we’ve expanded from 12 sessions to 15, facilitating the presentation of more content and perspectives for various industries. This track runs in parallel See the APEC with the traditional Technical website for Sessions Track. Speakers are invited more details on to make a presentation only, without each section. submitting a formal manuscript for the APEC Proceedings. This allows APEC to present information on current topics in power electronics from sources that would not otherwise be present at an industry conference. While many of these sessions are technical in nature, some also target business-oriented people such as electronic system designers, regulatory agencies, business-oriented people such as purchasing agents, and other people who support the power electronics industry.
