Frontiers in Automatic Control in Drives and Power Electronics

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Energies in “Automatic Control in Drives and Power Electronics”. Electrical drives and power electronics converters are commonly used in industrial applications, transportation systems, power generation and transmission, and home appliances. Its performance, effectiveness, and reliability strictly depend on the control algorithm used. This Special Issue aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to present their recent work in the field of automatic control in drives and power electronics. The topics related to novel control strategies, trends, problems, and challenges linked to synthesis and analysis will be presented. Papers in (but not limited to) scopes mentioned below are welcome.

• Advanced control strategies for electrical drives and power converters
• Modern optimization methods (including nature inspired algorithms) in identification, tuning, and control
• Fault tolerant control of electrical machines and power converters
• Advanced observers and sensorless control
• Diagnosis, monitoring, and predictive maintenance in drives and power electronics
• Innovative hardware solutions (e.g. novel drive construction, implementation of algorithms in programmable devices, etc.) and communication protocols in power electronics and drives

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.
