Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, society is experiencing a major lifestyle changes as a result of worldwide environmental concerns and climate change.
The circular economy, renewable energy, and electromobility are playing major roles in achieving the zero carbon emission goals established by the International Energy Agency for 2050.
There is no doubt that power electronics (PE) is essential to this transition to net-zero emissions. However, PE has undergone continuing transformation since its emergence at the beginning of the 20th century. New materials, devices, modules, systems, configurations, controllers, applications, etc., are reported everyday via specialized forums, journals, and patents around the world.
Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on progress in the modelling, control, design, power conditioning, and integration of power electronics for electromobility and renewable energy systems.
The crucial areas considered include efficiency enhancement, power density, heat minimization, useful life extension, cost reduction and recycling.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are accepted. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Battery and power management;
- Consumer electronics;
- Energy harvesting;
- Electromobility;
- Emerging applications;
- GaN/SiC power devices.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Francisco J. Perez-Pinal
Guest Editor
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.
