Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last two decades, the approach to the design of controllers for power management in electrical applications has been rapidly evolving due to the latest advancements in nonlinear control techniques for continuous and/or switched systems such as backstepping, high-order sliding mode, Lyapunov-based control approach, and model predictive control. Indeed, most electrical applications are required to function around several operating points. Therefore, the classical approach dating back to the 1940s, consisting in the adoption of proportional–integral–derivative controllers designed according to a locally linearized version of the nonlinear system, does not suffice. Advanced control strategies exploiting the nonlinear nature of switching, complex electrical systems allow for a larger operational range and for increased robustness. Moreover, nonlinear control strategies are capable of taking into account control bounds, finite time set-point tracking, limited control rate, and assessed stability for time-varying operations. This methodology can be adopted in several fields related to the power management of electrical systems.
As a reference, we list some topics of interest for this Special Issue:
- Electric and hybrid terrestrial vehicles;
- Power generation and distribution for electric aircraft;
- Microgrids for power sharing;
- Distribution of renewable energy.

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.
