Power Converters and Control Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

With the appeal of carbon neutrality, research on renewable energy systems, energy storage systems, electrical transports, and hybrid AC/DC microgrids has steadily increased in recent years. To boost the performance of these systems, power converters and control techniques require more sufficient studies for high efficiency, high reliability, high density, and low cost. Thus, this Special Issue aims to collect research achievements within the scope of power converters and control techniques. Topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• New topologies, including dc–dc converters and ac–dc converters with high efficiency, high density, and low cost, especially with the new emerging devices.
• New modulation schemes for high power quality and high efficiency.
• Advanced dynamic control strategies for high robustness and high reliability of power converters.
• Fault diagnosis and fault tolerance techniques of power converters.
• Soft start-up and hot-swap operations of power 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-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.
