Power Converters: Modeling, Control, and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Continuously expanding deployments of power electronic systems are transforming the legacy power system into a pure power electronic-based power system. Thus, it is extremely important to use all energy sources in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. As the generated electrical energy is usually only a semi-finished product, its appropriate adaptation and conversion is required. The conversion, often with several stages, is carried out by power electronic converters, which should have the highest possible efficiency. At the same time, as a consequence of the use of power converters and the nature of certain loads, additional filtering and compensation techniques are applied to ensure the required quality of electrical energy. Progress in the field of technology, available materials and components, new topologies, advanced methods of analysis, modeling, control, and design has a positive impact on the obtained properties of power converters. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share the latest advances and developments in power converters from modeling, control, and application perspectives. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Converters for uninterruptible power supplies;
• Converters for motor drives;
• Bidirectional power converters;
• High-power density converters;
• High-efficiency converter topologies;
• Power harmonic filters and power quality;
• Advanced control and reliability of converters;
• Modeling and simulation of converters;
• Electromagnetic compatibility in power converters;
• Power converters interaction and stability analysis and enhancement;
• Modern components (e.g., magnetic materials, wide band-gap power semiconductor devices) in power converters;
• Renewable energy systems.

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.
