Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Accurate power and energy measurement is a cornerstone for technological advancement across various industrial, medical, and scientific sectors. Metrology, when applied to electronic data acquisition systems, plays a fundamental role in electrical power grids, as well as broader contexts such as industrial and medical lasers, high-intensity magnetic field generators, microwave systems, high-power devices, advanced research environments, and the Internet of Things.
The development of reliable measurement techniques and robust acquisition systems is essential to ensure quality, safety, and innovation. The integration of smart sensors, high-speed electronics, signal processing algorithms, and metrological calibration opens new possibilities for characterizing energy phenomena across different scales and applications.
We invite researchers and professionals in the field to submit original articles and comprehensive reviews exploring recent advances, challenges, and future perspectives in metrology and electronic data acquisition systems, focusing on power and energy in a broad sense. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Electrical power and energy measurement systems in industrial and laboratory environments.
- Analysis systems for medical and industrial lasers.
- Instrumentation for the characterization of high-power devices.
- Predictive analysis of electrical power systems and energy distribution.
- Smart sensors, embedded systems, and communication networks for energy measurement.
- Calibration techniques and metrological traceability in energy systems.
- Signal processing and algorithms for power and energy analysis.
- Measurement in microwave and radiofrequency (RF) systems.
- Data acquisition devices for extreme environments (high temperature, high pressure, and radiation).
- IoT platforms and systems for industrial process metrology.
- Biomedical applications of metrology.
- High-efficiency power converters with smart monitoring and communication.
- Metrology and power quality measurement in power electronics 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.
