Power Electronics and Battery Management Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies entitled “Power Electronics and Battery Management Systems”.

Modern power systems exhibit increased performance, while CO2 emissions are reduced by using renewable energy sources such as wind, photovoltaics, and storage systems. In this context, the interactions between electric grids, frequency regulations in microgrids, and control techniques for power and energy systems connected to the grid have become interesting topics for power and energy researchers. In addition, the design of efficient and reliable battery-powered systems found in electrical vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles requires sophisticated monitoring and management of energy resources.

This Special Issue will cover novel optimization and control techniques for power and energy systems, including the management of energy resources. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Predictive control application models;
• Energy storage systems in power systems;
• Battery management systems;
• Microgrid operation control and stability;
• Intelligent approaches to power systems;
• Frequency regulation in microgrids;
• Power electronics control methods;
• Power electronics applications for wind, photovoltaics, and storage.

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. 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.
