Linear and Nonlinear Electric Circuits: Theoretical Analysis and Applications: 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Electric circuit theory provides essential notions for electrical engineering. By knowing and understanding the basic theory of electrical phenomena, the operation of the components, the theorems connecting the electrical quantities and the particular phenomena that occur in different regimes, the operation of electrical and electronic devices, automation systems, and power supply networks can be better understood. Therefore, electrical circuits, whether linear or nonlinear, with lumped or distributed parameters, are found in many engineering subdomains: electrical and electronic engineering (principally), power engineering, transportation engineering, telecommunications, automation and hardware systems, etc. On the other hand, the relations between electrical quantities, transposed into systems of algebraic or differential equations, cannot be solved correctly without the involvement of specialists in mathematics. So the issues of electrical circuits can be divided into two main directions, each with different topics of interest, including, but not limited to, the following:

+ Theoretical aspects regarding linear and nonlinear electrical circuits:

• Parameter estimation;
• Passive and active components;
• New theoretical approaches;
• Numerical, symbolic and partial symbolic methods;
• Stability criteria;
• Circuit synthesis;
• Simulation.

+ Applications of electrical circuits:

• Electrical and electronic devices;
• Electromechanical systems;
• Electromagnetic devices;
• Electric transportation;
• On-board electrical systems;
• Static converters;
• Power and energy systems;
• Biomedical circuits and systems;
• Communications.

You are invited to submit papers related to the above topics, for inclusion in this Special Issue of the journal Energies, a Web of Science-indexed, peer-reviewed, open access journal with an impact factor of 3.0 (2023).

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.
