Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues.
The Development of Power Electronics Converters consists in a research area that has contributed decisively to the modernization and evolution of the vast majority of technologies that we use today, covering an enormous range of applications. Furthermore, it is significant to highlight that the evolution of Power Converters is supported by emerging technologies in different phases, including the power stage (e.g., passive components and power semiconductors), the signal acquisition (e.g., new sensors and digital processing units), and the control system (e.g., new power theories and current or voltage control). Encompassing all these subjects, this specific Special Issue aims to introduce a guideline of Recent Developments and Emerging Trends in Power Electronics Converters, involving innovative contributions from academics, scientists and researchers.
The topics of interest are related, but not limited to:
- Power Converters for smart grids (e.g., renewables, energy storage and electric mobility).
- Power Converters for industrial applications (e.g., motor drives and UPS).
- Digital platforms for Power Converters (e.g., DSP, FPGA, real-time HIL).
- Digital control for Power Converters (e.g., predictive control, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms).
- Digital Modulation for Power Converters.
- High-performance magnetic elements for Power Converters.
- Wide-band-gap (WBG) components for Power Converters.
- Gate-drivers for WBG of Power Converters.
- Soft-switching of Power Converters.
- Snubber circuits for Power Converters.
- High power density of Power Converters.
- High efficiency of Power Converters.
- Electromagnetic interferences and compatibility of Power Converters.
- Stability analysis and control of Power Converters.
- Topologies of Power Converters (e.g., Z-source and switched-capacitor).
- Reliability and lifetime prediction of Power Converters.
- Coordinated association of Power Converters.
- Hardware design and modeling of Power Converters.
- Life-cycle analysis of Power Converters.
- Monitoring and measuring of Power Converters.
- Thermal analysis of Power Converters.
- Passive components for Power Converters.
- Sensors and signal conditioning for 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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
