Advances in Power Electronics Converters for Modern Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in the market, the growing demand for electric mobility, and the modernization of power systems are driving the development of advanced power electronics technologies. Power electronics converters are at the core of these transformations, enabling efficient energy conversion, grid integration, and the deployment of smart, flexible, and resilient power networks. Recent advances in semiconductor devices, control strategies, and digital technologies have opened new opportunities for improving the performance, reliability, and efficiency of these systems.

This Special Issue, "Advances in Power Electronics Converters for Modern Power Systems", aims to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share innovative solutions, methodologies, and applications that address the evolving challenges of energy conversion. The topic aligns closely with the scope of Electronics, covering cutting-edge developments in power electronics, control systems, energy conversion, and smart grid integration.

We welcome both original research articles and comprehensive reviews. Potential topics include but are not limited to

• The advanced topologies of inverters and converters for renewable energy integration.
• High-efficiency and high-power-density designs for modern grids.
• Wide-bandgap (SiC, GaN) device applications in power systems.
• Control and modulation strategies for grid-tied converters.
• Power electronics for electric mobility and charging infrastructure.
• Fault-tolerant and resilient converter designs.
• Modeling, simulation, and digital twin approaches for converters.
• Energy storage interfaces and hybrid system integration.
• Grid-supportive functionalities (voltage/frequency regulation, inertia emulation).
• Smart grid and microgrid applications of power electronics converters.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
