Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid global transition toward sustainable and electrified energy systems has significantly increased the demand for advanced, efficient, and intelligent power electronic technologies. This Special Issue, titled “Advanced Power Electronics for Intelligent and Efficient Energy Conversion”, focuses on recent developments in power electronics design, control, optimization, and applications for modern energy conversion systems.
We invite contributions that explore innovative converter topologies, advanced modulation and control strategies, and high-efficiency power electronic interfaces for a broad range of applications, including renewable energy systems, energy storage, electric transportation, and smart grids. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, wide-bandgap device-based converters, multi-level and modular converter architectures, grid-forming and grid-following control, and power quality enhancement techniques.
The Special Issue also welcomes research on intelligent and data-driven power conversion technologies, including artificial intelligence-assisted control, digital twins, machine learning-enabled optimization, and real-time monitoring and diagnostics. Emerging paradigms such as integrated power and data transfer, cyber–physical energy systems, decentralized energy networks, and intelligent energy management are particularly encouraged.
In addition, contributions addressing reliability, thermal management, electromagnetic compatibility, fault diagnosis, and cost-effective implementation are highly valued, especially when supported by experimental validation and practical applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and practitioners to present cutting-edge developments and foster interdisciplinary collaboration, ultimately advancing the efficiency, intelligence, reliability, and scalability of next-generation energy conversion 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-blind 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.
