Power Electronics Technology and Application

Dear Colleagues,

The pursuit of miniaturization of power electronic devices requires increasing the frequency of their operation. The increase in this frequency is limited by the dynamic properties of the elements contained in such devices, i.e., semiconductor and magnetic elements, which narrows the scope of their application and affects the energy efficiency of power electronic systems. For example, an increase in the operating frequency of electronic devices containing magnetic elements causes decrease of energy efficiency of the considered system. The reason for the reduced efficiency is an increase in power losses in magnetic elements. Additionally, an increase in the operating frequency causes an increase in the temperature of the considered elements as a result of thermal phenomena occurring in them, such as self-heating or mutual thermal coupling between the components of the mentioned element (core, winding). Therefore, the aim of this issue is to identify new trends and research in the field of modern electronic components used in power systems and to present the influence of selected properties of electronic components of the considered systems. Additionally, the area of power systems in which specific electronic components are used will be indicated.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
