Innovative Technologies in Power Electronics Converters

Dear Colleagues，

With the rapid expansion of the electric vehicle market, the demand for batteries for electric vehicles is increasing. Power conversion circuits are essential to cope with the wide voltage variation of the battery during the charging and discharging processes. In addition, as the price of wide bandgap devices is cheaper, compact interface circuits that switch at high frequency using wide bandgap devices are being released in the market. Furthermore, research on the operational reliability of power conversion circuits has also been actively conducted. This trend can also be observed in renewable energy systems, home appliances, wireless power systems, and pulse power systems.

We encourage researchers in this field to contribute their original papers to share their technical achievements with the readers. The subjects included, but are not limited to:

• Converters operating at high switching frequency;
• Soft switched converters;
• Compact design of passive power components;
• Optimal use of wide band gapped devices;
• Multi-level, multi-phase converters;
• Fault tolerent converters;
• Control strategies for emerging converters.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
