Transactions on Power Electronics

Additional information on paper submission (e.g., correct formats, file types, etc.) can be found in the TPEL Submission Guidelines. For more information concerning tools and assistance with article preparation, the proof review process, and ordering reprints, please visit the IEEE Author Center. Questions regarding the author portal should be sent to authorportal@ieee.org.

All submissions should use the correct template from IEEE’s Template Selector and be in a double-column format. Authors should pay particular attention to documenting their work in relation to known literature.

Active Content, Multimedia, and Graphic Abstracts: Authors are encouraged to submit active content/multimedia files (e.g., moves, simulation files, PowerPoints, etc.) with their papers if they believe the files will enhance the quality of the manuscript. All materials should be uploaded at the time of submission. For more information, please read TPEL’s Active Content/Multimedia Instructions.

Experimental Results: Experimental results obtained from a full-hardware test setup are generally required for publication. In exceptional cases where even downscaled experimental validation cannot be provided, authors must clearly justify why hardware-in-the-loop is sufficient for validating claims made in the paper.

Institutional Emails: All submissions must have a primary email address connected to an institution, such as an academic institution, a government agency, a company, or IEEE. Papers that do not meet this requirement will not go through the review process. To register for a free IEEE email account, please click here.

Page Length: Regular papers can be up to ten pages in length. Papers over ten pages are subject to an overlength page charge of USD 200 per page. Letters must be four pages in length.

Papers Out of Scope: Papers not within TPEL’s scope may be summarily rejected and be recommended to submit to another journal. This could include manuscripts focused solely on physics, theory, materials, design and/or characterization of components, systems, and applications without sufficient and demonstrated content in power electronics. Examples of papers which would be more appropriately published in another IEEE publication include:

• Papers describing semiconductor or electron device physics (IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices)
• Papers describing applications in specific areas such as industry, instrumentation, utility power systems, aerospace, industrial electronics, etc. (to the applicable IEEE Society that focuses on the application(s))
• Papers describing magnetic materials and device physics (IEEE Transactions on Magnetics)
• Papers on machine theory (IEEE Transactions on Power Systems)

Post-Conference Paper Submissions: Please click here to view guidelines for post-conference papers.

Review Process: Articles are peer-reviewed in accordance with the requirements in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C and 8.2.2.A). Each published article is reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind peer-review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles are screened for plagiarism before acceptance.
