Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The accelerating global transition to renewable energy demands innovative solutions in power electronics to ensure efficient, reliable, and flexible integration into modern energy systems. Power electronics are essential for harnessing and managing energy from solar photovoltaics, wind power, biomass, and emerging hydrogen-based technologies; enabling advanced storage solutions; and enhancing power quality and grid stability.

This Special Issue invites original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore cutting-edge applications of power electronics in renewable energy systems and sustainable energy systems at large. Topics include, but are not limited to, advanced converter topologies, integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) and hybrid storage, control and protection strategies for grid-tied inverters, reliability assessment of converters, and AI-driven approaches for fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance. Contributions exploring the role of electric vehicles (EVs), charging infrastructures, and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies as dynamic resources for renewable energy and energy system integration are especially encouraged.

We welcome interdisciplinary contributions that address both theoretical advances and practical implementations, including field validations, experimental studies, and deployment experiences. By fostering collaboration among academia, industry, and policymakers, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to sustainable, resilient, and intelligent energy systems in the future.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

Dr. Manoel H. N. Marinho

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. Eng is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1400 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.
