Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest innovations in power electronics and control systems that are driving advancements in sustainable energy solutions and electrified transportation. With the ever-growing demand for greater integration of renewable energy, efficient conversion of energy, and electrification of vehicles, new technologies and strategies are essential if we are to optimize the performance and reliability of our systems. For this Special Issue, we invite you to submit original research and review articles focused on the design, modeling, and control of power electronics systems for applications in renewable energy, electric vehicles, energy storage, and microgrids.

Key topics include the development of high-efficiency converters, advanced control techniques for inverters, electric machine drives, energy management systems, and power electronics for vehicle charging infrastructure. Contributions addressing the challenges of grid integration, power quality, and fault-tolerant designs are also encouraged. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing cutting-edge research that supports the transition to more sustainable and efficient energy and transportation systems.

This new topic will cover a broad range of research areas, including but not limited to

  • Power electronics for renewable energy integration;
  • Control strategies for energy systems and electric vehicles;
  • Advances in electric machines and drives;
  • High-efficiency systems for microgrids and distributed energy resources;
  • Technologies for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
