Digest Submission

IEEE SPEC 2024 (the 9th Southern Power Electronics Conference) will be held in Brisbane, Australia, from December 2 to 5, 2024. SPEC 2024 offers a great opportunity for researchers, engineers, academics, and students from all over the world to bring the latest technological advances and applications in Power Electronics to the Southern Hemisphere. 

Prospective authors are requested to submit a digest with no more than five (5) pages following the template to draft their proposed digest. The digest should be written in English and include critical equations, figures, tables, and references as appropriate. No author names or affiliations can be shown in the submitted digests. Digests not conforming to these requirements will be rejected without review. The digests must clearly state the objectives of the work, its significance in advancing the state of the art, and the methods and specific results in sufficient details. All digests will go through a double-blind peer-review process to ensure a confidential and fair review. The papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
