The technical program combines peer-reviewed lecture and poster presentations, industry presentations, professional education seminars, plenary programming, and expert debates. Seminar themes include wide-bandgap device reliability, AI in power electronics, magnetics, converter topologies, electromagnetic compatibility and motor drives, and data-center power delivery. Specific topics include SiC and GaN switching behavior, online condition monitoring, AI-assisted converter design, planar magnetics, solid-state transformers, electric drives and e-mobility, and power delivery for AI accelerators and data centers. Technical and industry programming addresses modeling and simulation, data-center power systems, inverter design, chargers, power devices, test and characterization, and integrated voltage regulators. Debate topics include integrated voltage regulator roadmaps and roadblocks, whether solid-state transformers are ready for deployment, and whether future power-electronics breakthroughs will come from academia or industry. APEC is sponsored by the Power Sources Manufacturers Association, IEEE Power Electronics Society, and IEEE Industry Applications Society.
