Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics is present in our daily life, from low-power applications, such as smartphones and electric vehicles, to high-power applications, such as high-voltage direct current. Power Electronics is also used in: generation systems, such as wind and solar renewable energy sources; distribution systems, such as solid state transformer; and transmission systems, such as flexible AC transmission systems. Therefore, it is no surprise that up to 70% of electrical energy is now processed by Power Electronics, and this number will increase in the future. Thus, many researchers are currently working to increase Power Electronics’ efficiency, reliability and applicability to meet new electrical grid codes, with optimal steady-state and transient systems operation being important players in the transition to a carbon-free energy system. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to Power Electronics systems, such as new semiconductor technologies, converter design and topologies, real-time digital modelling and simulation, advanced control, and novel applications. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Wide bandgap semiconductors;
- Novel converter designs/topologies;
- Real-time digital simulation;
- Power Electronics in industrial processes;
- Power Electronics in transportation;
- Advanced controls applied to Power Electronics;
- Renewable energy sources based on Power Electronics;
- Power Electronics applied in generation, distributions and transmission systems;
- Novel Applications with Power Electronics.

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.
