Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics is a key technology both at present and for the future. It is widely used in modern-day power systems, starting from generation and all the way to distribution, including transmission. Its increased application in the modern grid poses several challenges related to power quality, reliability, stability, etc. This requires a better understanding of power converters and their control. Therefore, the area of application of power electronics converters and inverters in the electrical grid has received a lot of attention in recent years.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions for review and publication in this Special Issue on “Power Converter and Its Application in the Electrical Grid”. This Special Issue will deal with novel design and control techniques for power electronics converters and inverters for various electrical grid applications. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Battery chargers;
- Advanced power converter topologies for renewable energy sources;
- Filter design for grid-connected power converters;
- Advanced control methods for grid-connected power converters;
- Application of wide bandgap semiconductor-based power electronics converters in the electrical grid;
- Coordinated control of parallel connected converters;
- Problems associated with meeting the grid requirements, such as EMI, Islanding detection, grid code, virtual inertia, etc.;
- Active filters for harmonic compensation.

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).
