Power Electronic Circuits for Electric Drives and Renewable Energy Sources
This special issue belongs to the section "F3: Power Electronics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on “Power Electronic Circuits for Electric Drives and Renewable Energy Sources”.
Low-carbon and sustainable and green future goals push us to think outside the box and abandon the conventional power systems. The transition to fully renewable smart grids with a high penetration of power electronic converters will inevitably happen in the near future. In this scenario, efficiency and reliability are the keywords when considering the improvement of various energy generation technologies, such as wind, tidal, wave, photovoltaic, and power electronic interfaced loads. New advances in the materials of the power switching devices, new circuit topologies, and non-conventional converter layouts are some of the criteria for paper acceptance in this very broad Topical Issue.
This Special Issue aims to consolidate works on technological advances with performance and reliability optimization methods in the area of power electronics, connected to both renewable energy generation systems and renewable energy consumption.

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.
