Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fuel cells, batteries and, more widely, energy storage systems are gaining attractiveness in stationary (microgrids and charging; EV-charging plants) and transportation (electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles) applications, with the aim of improving their efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness for real near-future deployments in buildings, downtown cities and urban areas. Power electronics conversion plays a major and key role in the power management and reliability of conversion interfaces. Novel and innovative semiconductor technologies, wide-band-gap semiconductors, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are of great interest in the design and improvement of dynamic performances of electronics power conversion, also considered to be an answer to main energetic challenges. This Special Issue aims to collate experimental/numerical/field-scale investigations with novel solutions and review papers with state-of-the-art findings able to deliver a significant contribution to energy conversion and the energy storage community. Even though this Special Issue is open to all contributions related to energy conversion and storage in fuel cells and battery systems, potential focus areas include, but are not limited to, the following: stationary applications (renewable energies for cities, urban areas, smart microgrids) and transportation (electric and hybrid electric vehicles).

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. 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 2200 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.
