Advanced Wireless Power Transfer Technologies for Intelligent Electrified Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is becoming an enabling technology for next-generation electrified and intelligent systems. Driven by the rapid development of electric vehicles, autonomous robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, underwater systems, implantable devices, consumer electronics, and smart manufacturing, WPT technologies are moving beyond conventional stationary charging toward high-efficiency, high-power-density, misalignment-tolerant, dynamic, and intelligent energy delivery. These emerging applications require advances not only in magnetic coupling structures and compensation networks but also in power electronics, control, sensing, communications, thermal management, electromagnetic compatibility, and system-level optimization.

This Special Issue will provide a timely platform for recent advances in wireless power transfer technologies and their applications in intelligent electrified systems. Its focus includes, but is not limited to, magnetic coupler design, resonant compensation topologies, high-frequency power converters, dynamic and in-motion charging, multi-load and multi-transmitter systems, foreign object detection, electromagnetic safety, AI-enabled modeling and control, digital twins, and integrated WPT systems for electric vehicles, robotics, medical devices, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure.

Compared with the existing literature, which often treats WPT components, converters, and control methods separately, this Special Issue emphasizes system-level design, cross-domain integration, and application-oriented innovation. It prioritizes high-quality original research articles and reviews that bridge circuits, systems, power electronics, electromagnetics, control, and intelligent applications. We welcome both theoretical and experimental contributions that can advance the efficiency, reliability, safety, interoperability, and practical deployment of wireless power transfer 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 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. Electronics 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.
