Progress in Design and Control of Power Converters

Dear Colleagues,

Power electronics is one of the most prolific research fields in electronics. One of the main reasons is its relevance in present-day society, increasingly concerned with energy saving and greener energy production. This constitutes a powerful catalyst for research, boosting the amount of ideas, solutions, and studies, as well as the number of topics that emerge under the umbrella of power electronics. This is evident in well-established research topics, such as renewable energies, battery management, and electric traction, coexisting—or even merging—with more recent topics, such as LED lighting or micro- and nanogrids. Moreover, these topics can be considered established when compared wide-bandgap devices and electric vehicles, for example, where research is still incipient.

In all of the aforementioned topics, among others, the “design and control of power converters” plays a key role. This Special Issue is inviting papers that focus on well-established topics as well as more recent ones. This mixture will foster new ideas for readers and will help researchers detect solutions that can be migrated from one topic to another, making this Special Issue a relevant milestone for any power electronics engineer.

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-anonymized 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.
