Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovative, complex converter topologies, such as modular multilevel converters, are already widely deployed in HVDC and MVDC systems, where they offer reduced losses, increased controllability and efficiency, and significantly improved harmonic performance when compared to other converter topologies. However, research on wide bandgap semiconductor switches, advanced converter topologies, and control has shown that power electronic converters could also prove viable and advantageous for other high-power applications including large electrical drives, aerospace, and transport. This Special Issue invites articles that provide novel insights into the design, analysis, and control of new power electronic converters for high-power applications. Key topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- New thyristor or transistor-based converter topologies
- High-power switch transients and performance
- Detailed study of converter operating modes, and thermal analysis
- Fault-tolerant converter topologies and control strategies
- Converters for high-power electrical drives, aerospace and transport applications, and their operation and control
- HVDC and MVDC converters, and their operation and control

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.
