Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among the many energy-scavenging methods, magnetic energy harvesting (MEH) is, perhaps, the most straightforward approach to extracting the power of a current-carrying conductor. MEHs are a promising solution regarding the application of power electronic equipment installed in restricted or remote locations on the smart grid. MEH can be employed to power a variety of low-power systems such as electronic sensors, data loggers, communication devices and wireless battery chargers, but can also be designed to provide a higher level of power.
This Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Magnetic Energy Harvester Technology", aims to highlight recent research and developments in this exciting and promising field. This Special Issue covers a broad spectrum of topics that could contribute to enhancing the efficiency and cost effectiveness of MEH-based power converters in prospective self-powered systems.
By providing a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art innovations, this Special Issue aims to provide a key reference for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers. It will foster collaboration and the exchange of knowledge, ultimately supporting the transition toward more efficient and environmentally friendly internal combustion engines.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- New MEH principles, structures and applications;
- Innovative power processor topologies for MEH;
- Advanced MEH control methods;
- MEH modelling and analysis;
- Simplified hysteresis modelling for MEH engineering design;
- MEH loss estimation and optimization;
- MEH installation methods.
We invite researchers and professionals to contribute their latest findings and advance the field of magnetic energy-harvesting technology.

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 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). 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.
