Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need for the most efficient and cost-effective design, control, operation, and maintenance of power converters and power electronic-based power systems has increased as the applications of power converters have seen significant growth in recent years in areas such as distributed generation, particularly in renewable energies, transmission and distribution systems, electric vehicles, and microgrids.
Along with converter design, reliability is a significant concern when it comes to the successful operation of power converters. Predicting the converter reliability throughout its useful life and wear-out phases is necessary for the operation of multi-converter systems in terms of appropriate topology selection, converter component sizing, maintenance scheduling, and selection of the control strategy. In addition to that, the reliability of individual components such as capacitors, gate drivers, and switches, etc., is a big part of power converter analysis. The mechanical robustness and environmental factors also affect the power converter failure.
For this Special Issue, we therefore seek research articles that address the broad aspects of power converter modeling and design as well as investigations into its reliability. The studies can be carried out at either the system level or the component level.

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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
