Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been a significant interest in wireless power transfer systems. They are widely used not only in the electronics industry but also in the automotive and medical industries. In each case, the aim is to miniaturize these systems while maintaining their high energy efficiency. Such systems, in general, apart from the transmitter and the receiver, also contain different types of power conversion systems that affect the value of the transferred and converted power, and thus, the energy efficiency of such a solution.

The effect of miniaturization is also observed in modern power electronic systems. Increasing the switching frequency of switching devices imposes limitations on the applicability of some semiconductor devices and increases the power losses in magnetic elements. This is also accompanied by an increase in the internal temperature of the electronic components included in these systems.

Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to indicate new trends and research in the field of new power electronic solutions and wireless power supply systems.

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.

Real-time hardware-in-the-loop-(HIL) simulation integration is now a fundamental component of the power electronics control design cycle. This integration is required to test the efficacy of controller implementations. Even though hardware-in-the-loop-(HIL) tools use FPGA devices with computing power that is rapidly evolving, developers constantly need to balance the ease of deploying models with acceptable accuracy. This study introduces a methodology for implementing a full-bridge inverter and buck converter utilising the associate-discrete-circuit-(ADC) model, which is optimised for real-time simulator applications. Additionally, this work introduces a new approach for choosing ADC parameter values by using the artificial-bee-colony-(ABC) algorithm, the firefly algorithm (FFA), and the genetic algorithm (GA). The implementation of the ADC-based model enables the development of a consistent architecture in simulation, regardless of the states of the switches. The simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methodology in selecting optimal parameters for an ADC-switch-based full-bridge inverter and buck converter. These results indicate a reduction in overshoot and settling time observed in both the output voltage and current of the chosen topologies. Full article

Regulating the load voltage is of major importance for ensuring high transmission efficiency in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. In this context, this work presents a novel control strategy applied in the dc-ac converter used in the primary side of a WPT system. The performance of a class-DE resonant inverter is investigated considering that such topology presents inherent soft-switching characteristics, thus implying reduced switching losses. The controller relies on an autoregressive with exogenous output (ARX) model based on an adaptive linear neuron (ADALINE) network, which allows for determining the turn-on time of the active switches accurately while providing the system with the ability to adapt to distinct alignment conditions. The performance of the proposed controller is compared with that of a linear controller, which does not prove to be an effective solution if misalignment occurs. Full article
