Special Issue Information
Multilevel converters have become a vital technology in high-power and high-voltage applications, offering advantages such as improved power quality, higher efficiency, and lower electromagnetic interference. Their ability to handle complex energy demands makes them well-suited for modern systems. This special issue focuses on recent developments in multilevel converter research, including innovations in topology design, modeling, modulation, and control strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on their practical applications in renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and smart grids. By presenting both theoretical insights and real-world implementations, this issue aims to highlight the evolving role of multilevel converters in supporting clean energy, efficient transportation, and intelligent power infrastructure.

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.
