Advances in Wireless Power Transfer System

Dear Colleagues,

Wireless power transfer addresses recharging issues with remarkable advantages in terms of flexibility and mobility. Its booming developments and applications received much attention from both the industrial and scientific communities. The challenges ahead of us motivate us to improve and understand the technology and its applications. The Energies journal is lauching a special issue on Advances in Wireless Power Transfer System. On behalf of the editorial board of the Energies journal, we invite contributions (original articles or review papers) on the state-of-the-art developement of the wireless power transfer system. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

(1) Latest advances in wireless power transfer system
New WPT schemes, new wireless energy harvesting technology, dynamic WPT, bi-directional WPT, new power electronic devices, new shielding and magnetic materials, etc.

(2) Transfer principles and cases of wireless power transfer systems
New coupling mechanism design, electromagnetic field modeling and simulation, operating environment and external disturbance analysis, foreign object detection, biological safety, electromagnetic compatibility and shielding, etc.

(3) Methods and designs of wireless power transfer technology and systems
Near-field, far-field, ultrasonic, laser and other WPT systems, related power electronics, radio frequency and microwave, measurement, communication, optimization design, modeling and control, compensation topologies, integrated circuit and other technologies.

(4) Wide  applications
Applications of WPT in in various electronic devices, medical implant devices, electric vehicles, AGV, rail transit, special land/sea/air environments and other complex application scenarios.

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.
