Information for Authors

• After acceptance, the authors are asked to submit the full paper with a length of up to 6 pages for publication.
• The proceedings will be published by VDE Verlag; presented  papers will in addition be available on IEEE Xplore®.
• Papers previously presented and published in the Conference Proceedings of CIPS can be considered for publication in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics when improved with additions beyond the conference paper, which needs to be referenced, cf. Guidelines for Manuscript Submission to IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
• By submitting your full paper we assume that you have accepted the copyright­statement:  www.vde.com/typing­-instructions.
• After the conference, the presentations will be made available exclusively for all participants on that homepage.

Describe in your abstract most relevant content and results of your work. Significant pictures and charts can point these out.

The abstract should not exceed a DIN A4 page or 500 words.

Submit your abstract as pdf and as file name "Surname_Firstname.pdf".

The short abstracts and the paper titles (German/English) will be available in Online Libraries. After the conference, this will enable interested people to find easily these contributions.

For titles  use the given guidelines.

A picture tells more than 1000 words. Use the pictures so that these can translate the wished meaning at a glance...

Don't forget to announce the source.

References have to be included at the end of the paper. Please check the typing guidelines. If you wish to refer to other sources from this same event, please contact in advance the event organisers.

Wir empfehlen die Erstellung eines Posters in der Größe DIN A0 lang Format. You are free to design the layout of your poster.

If you wish to use the banner oder logo of the event, you can find this under "downloads".

Pinnboards (1,40 m x 1,20 m breit). Pins will be provided on site. The poster titles will be mentioned on boards.

Please put your poster on the your poster board on the the first day of the event (starting from 9:00 h) and remove it at the ene dof the event. Please note that posters that haven't been removed from authors will be disposed.

Please be at your poster board during the poster session in order to answer the questions of the attendees.
