Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing demand for clean energy has accelerated the development of renewable energy technologies, such as offshore/onshore wind turbines, tidal turbines, wave energy converters, and other renewable energy applications. However, the efficient conversion of energy from these dynamic and variable renewable resources into usable electrical power remains a significant challenge. Advanced power converter systems are at the heart of these efforts, enabling enhanced energy capture, efficient power conditioning, grid integration, and operational reliability.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research, innovative designs, and the practical applications of power converters tailored for wind and other renewable energy systems. Contributions will explore topics such as high-efficiency converter topologies, robust control strategies, energy storage integration, grid compatibility, and fault tolerance. Special emphasis will be placed on solutions that address the unique challenges posed by renewable energy sources, including corrosive conditions, variable resource profiles, and remote operational settings.
Key topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:
- Power drivetrain modelling and the analysis of wind and other renewable energy systems.
- Power take-off optimization of offshore/onshore wind and other renewable energy systems.
- Novel power electronic converter designs for renewable energy systems.
- Control techniques for improving energy capture and system reliability.
- Machine learning technology for wind and other renewable energy systems.
- Control co-design of new-generation offshore wind turbines and other offshore renewable energy systems.
- Multi-disciplinary modelling for the entire operational process of renewable energy systems.
- Power conditioning and grid integration strategies for offshore energy systems.
- Optimization of energy conversion efficiency of renewable energy systems under variable offshore conditions.
- Integration of energy storage with renewable systems.
- Experimental validation and case studies of advanced converter applications.
This Special Issue invites contributions from researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to advance the development of resilient, efficient, and scalable power converters that can unlock the full potential of marine renewable energy 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 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.
