2009 Special Presentations PDF Print E-mail

The Special Presentation Sessions were introduced at APEC 2004. These presentations have been solicited from the leaders in the power electronics industry especially to address topics of current interest. Like the Professional Education Seminars, they were chosen for their specific topics and were not selected through the peer review process.

These special presentations do not have papers in the APEC Proceedings. To download the presentation in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, right click the presentation title and choose "Save target as..." or the equivalent command for your browser. Acrobat Version 5 or later is needed to view and print the presentations.
