IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics
About the Publication
The IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics (OJPEL) is a 100% open-access journal that publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed papers. This means all content is freely available to users and their institutions. Users can copy, distribute, download, link, print, read, and search the full texts of the articles and can use them for any lawful purpose (as long as proper attribution is given).
OJPEL covers the development and application of power electronic systems and technologies. Topics include the use of electronic components, the application of circuit theory and design techniques, and the development of analytical methods and tools for efficient electronic conversion, control, and conditioning of electric power to enable the sustainable use of energy. Its goal is to publish novel developments as well as tutorial and survey articles, including those of value to both the practicing professional and research and development segments of the field.

Information
Information for Authors
Additional information on paper submission (e.g., correct formats, file types, etc.) can be found in the OJPEL Submission Guidelines. For information on writing an abstract, using equations, publishing author names in native languages, submitting supplementary materials (e.g., datasets, graphical abstracts, multimedia), and more, 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. Follow all guidelines on stylistic elements, such as abbreviations, equations, figures, and tables. Figures and tables must be placed inline at their relevant position in the text. Author names and affiliations are mandatory, but biographies are optional during the review process. When the paper is ready, submit it in PDF format.
Article Processing Charges (APC): When a paper is accepted for publication, authors must pay an AC of USD 2,160 plus applicable local taxes. IEEE members get a 5% discount and PELS members receive a 20% discount. These discounts cannot be combined and do not apply to undergraduate and graduate students. Additional support may be available from IEEE’s Low and Lower-Middle Income Country Discount Program or by being a member of one of IEEE’s Institutional Partners.
English Language Editing Services: IEEE authors are eligible for discounts on several language editing services. They can help refine the submission’s language and reduce the risk of rejection without review. Please note that these services are fee-based and do not guarantee acceptance.
Ethics: All IEEE authors are expected to adhere to IEEE’s ethical requirements, including the definition of authorship, appropriate citation of sources, accurate reporting of data, and publishing of original research. All articles submitted for publication should be original and not under consideration elsewhere.
During submission, all related prior publications and related current submissions in other journals or conferences should be fully declared. This refers to items such as earlier conference papers on which the submission to OJPEL elaborates, other publications where (part of) the submitted work was disclosed, and earlier work of the author or the author’s group in the same field on which the submitted manuscript builds further. Submissions must include a PDF copy of each paper along with a prepublication statement that explains the overlap and differences of the submitted manuscripts for the convenience of the reviewers. Authors should also inform the Editor-in-Chief of any related submissions made while their submission to OJPEL is in review.
Please consider the list carefully since an automated plagiarism check is performed on each submission. Violations of this prepublication policy detected during the review process may result in a publication ban.
Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID): All IEEE journals require an ORCID for all authors. ORCID is a persistent, unique identifier for researchers and functions similarly to an article’s Digital Object Identifier. Authors will need a registered ORCID to submit an article or review a proof in this journal.
Post-Review Information: If an article is accepted for publication, instructions containing the next steps will be sent by email. The corresponding author will be asked to upload final production-ready files. Shortly after they are uploaded, an article proof will be sent for final review along with instructions on how to review it and submit corrections. Major changes to the article (including the list of references) are not permitted after the article is accepted for publication.
