Control in Power Electronics

Dear Colleagues,

Power electronics is now in a period of rapid development, driven by the advances and the needs of related fields, such as power systems (the total transformation of the power grid and its energy sources) and electric vehicles. Advances in power electronics are based on three main directions: devices, topologies, and control. In this Special Issue, we shall bring together advances in power electronics based on the application of sophisticated control techniques, such as robust control, model predictive control, and regulator theory, as well as advances in control theory that are clealy motivated by the needs of power electronics.

Possible topics include:

• High precision motion control via power electronic drives
• Control for modular multilevel converters and HVDC technology
• Grid support from inverters, e.g., via virtual inertia and energy storage
• Control of microgrids and smart grids, communication, and stability
• Control of circuits with special new topologies
• Advanced control for active power filters
• Control of electric vehicles, including their charging

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.
