Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless power transfer (WPT) refers to the technologies that enable powering a device without the need for being connected through a cable to the grid. Currently, this kind of system is foreseen for high-power applications (ultra-fast EV charging, trains, electric buses, industrial automated guided vehicles, etc.), where efficiency is a strong requirement. The efficiency is usually defined as how much active power is consumed by the device’s battery when compared to the power generated by the grid-connected source. Efficiency can also be extended to the use of renewable energy sources in a WPT system connected to PV or wind installations.
This Special Issue focuses on the design, test, and evaluation of inductive/resonant WPT systems with high-efficiency power transfer. Thus, papers showing the challenges of designing high-efficient wireless power transfer systems in a specific application are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Efficiency analysis in proof-of-concepts.
- Novel coil geometries and materials for power transfer optimization.
- Compensation systems to cope with misalignment.
- Control strategies in WPT systems integrated with renewable energy sources.
- Complementary techniques to ensure high-efficient power transfer with unexpected events: foreign object detection, communication control, electromagnetic interference analysis, safety and protection mechanisms.
- Thermal analysis and management.
- Adaption of wireless power transfer systems for underwater applications.
- Experimental validation and scalability of WPT systems.
- Standardization, interoperability and regulatory aspects.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies 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 2600 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.
