Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power converters play a crucial role in modern electrical systems and are widely applied in renewable energy-based microgrids, industrial automation, electric vehicles, and aerospace applications. Their efficient control and optimization are critical for improving performance, reliability, and sustainability.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present innovative solutions for controlling and optimizing power converters. The goal is to address challenges related to efficiency enhancement, stability, fault tolerance, and the integration of artificial intelligence and digital control in power electronics. The issue will feature cutting-edge research on both theoretical advancements and practical implementations of control and optimization techniques in power converters. Detailed topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced control strategies for power converters;
- Optimization techniques in power converters for topology design, efficiency improvement, component sizing, and parameter tuning;
- Applications of power converters in renewable energy-based microgrids and grid integration;
- High-efficiency power conversion based on wide-bandgap semiconductor devices and high-frequency magnetics and passive component optimization;
- Condition monitoring and diagnostics, fault detection, protection, and EMI/EMC mitigation techniques for power converters;
- Power converters for electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), wireless power transfer (WPT), and wireless charging systems;
- Power converters for data center power supply optimization;
- Power converters for more/all-electric aircrafts and defense power electronic applications.

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.
