IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics
About the Publication
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL) is a monthly publication where papers are available in Xplore shortly after acceptance.
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL) covers all issues in the field of power electronics, including conversion, control, applications, conceptual issues, and system integration of electric power using semiconductors and switching devices. The focus of this journal encompasses power converters including components and system integration for their applications. This journal publishes works involving techniques and methodologies on modeling and simulation, analysis, design, fabrication, testing and characterization, evaluation and validation, and applications of power-electronic components, converters, converter systems, and system integrations. Review, tutorial, and survey articles with a viewpoint on the state-of-the-art and future technological advances are also welcome.
Papers that are not within the scope of the journal may/will be summarily rejected and the authors may be suggested to submit their work to a more suitable journal. Examples include but are not limited to manuscripts focused solely on physics, theory, materials, design and/or characterization of components, systems, and applications without sufficient and demonstrated content in power electronics.
For those who are researchers in the power electronics industry or aspiring to a university career, establishing a publications portfolio is essential. Getting published in the prestigious TPEL will help elevate a career to new heights!

Information for Authors
Information on paper submission (e.g., correct formats, file types, etc.) can be found in TPEL’s submission guidelines. All submissions should be in a double-column format. The correct template can be found in the IEEE Template Selector. Authors should pay particular attention to documenting their work in relation to the known literature. For more information concerning tools and assistance with article preparation and submission, the proof review process, and ordering reprints, please visit the IEEE Author Center.
The articles in TPEL are peer-reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each published article was 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 will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.

Power Electronics Letters
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics covers all issues of widespread or generic interest to engineers who work in the field of power electronics. The Journal editors will enforce standards and a review policy equivalent to the IEEE Transactions, and only papers of high technical quality will be accepted. Papers which treat new and novel device, circuit or system issues which are of generic interest to power electronics engineers are published. Papers which are not within the scope of this Journal will be forwarded to the appropriate IEEE Journal or Transactions editors. Examples of papers which would be more appropriately published in other Journals or Transactions include:
- Papers describing semiconductor or electron device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices.
- Papers describing applications in specific areas: e.g., industry, instrumentation, utility power systems, aerospace, industrial electronics, etc. These papers would be more appropriate for the Transactions of the Society which is concerned with these applications.
- Papers describing magnetic materials and magnetic device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics.
- Papers on machine theory. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. While original papers of significant technical content will comprise the major portion of the Journal, tutorial papers and papers of historical value are also reviewed for publication.
Awards & Recognitions
Each year, the Editors and Associate Editors of TPEL recognize first place prize papers and second place prize papers deemed best among those published in TPEL during the preceding calendar year.
For information on this award, including eligibility, criteria, award items, and past recipients, please visit the Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL) Prize Paper Award page.
