Power Electronics Prize Letter Award

Beginning in 2007, the Letters Editor and Associate Editors of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL) recognize one paper deemed best among those published in the Transactions during the preceding calendar year.

Criteria: The established Transactions review criteria are used as the basis for the Prize Letter selection.  Specific emphasis is placed on:

  • originality
  • contribution to the field
  • the extent to which the paper is supported by analysis and experimental evidence
  • the quality of the presentation, including the effective use of illustrations
  • contributions with high value for rapid publication

Award Items:

  • Award certificate(s)
  • A one-time monetary award of USD 1,000 (to be shared equally among authors)

Please send any questions or requests for additional information to the TPEL Letters Editor in Chief Yunwei (Ryan) Li.
