Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the recent years, superconducting power applications have been expanded from laboratory devices to real engineering applications. Due to the fascinating behaviors of virtually zero-resistance, superconducting power applications can offer excellent performance over entire power systems. For example, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems can quickly absorb energy and release energy to balance voltage fluctuations, and superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) devices can quickly inhibit fault currents by using the characteristics of superconducting–normal transition. It is known that superconducting power applications need proper low-temperature operation conditions. In order to operate these fascinating superconducting power applications, important components in modern electrical power system–power electronics also need to work appropriately at cryogenic temperatures. Therefore, both the superconducting power applications and cryogenic power electronics need to be well studied to optimize the overall performance. This Special Issue welcomes a wide range of topics on superconducting power applications and cryogenic power electronics.

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.
