Special Issue Information
Power electronic systems, typically containing magnetic components and semiconductor power devices, are integral parts of modern electrical energy conversion systems based on traditional and renewable energy sources. Electro-thermal analysis of power electronic circuits and the semiconductors or magnetic components themselves is one of the main stages in the design of electrical energy conversion systems.
Electricity storage systems used to store excess energy generated by renewable energy sources are also a very important element of electricity conversion systems. Electricity storage systems are equipped with batteries manufactured using various technologies. However, in addition to the electricity storage facilities themselves, battery management systems are a binding element in electricity storage systems, ensuring the longest possible service life of such a system.
It should also be noted that modern semiconductor devices used in electrical power conversion systems are made using materials with a wide energy bandgap. The use of such devices requires appropriate knowledge, among other things, in the selection of a suitable control system to ensure the correct operation of these devices, which in turn significantly affects the energy efficiency of power electronic systems. The properties of magnetic components are also important, where the selection of the appropriate magnetic material for the construction of the core of such a component, or the lack of it, is of key importance and significantly affects the energy efficiency of electrical energy conversion systems, especially when such a system is to operate in the high frequency range.
One of the challenges in modern power electronics is also the power supply of hydrogen production systems and their further trouble-free cooperation with fuel cells in order to generate green electricity. Much space in the literature is also devoted to wireless power transmission systems, including those used to power electric vehicles, whose main components are power electronic systems and air transformers.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
