Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics are considered, currently and ongoingly, the key driving elements for innovation in a broad range of application areas, including machinery drives, renewable energy conversion, transportation electrification, smart grid implementation, and energy storage systems.
The empowering role of power electronics across these areas leads to higher-technology and higher-value advantages for their systems; however, advanced design criteria, novel topology architecture, and reliable control techniques are required to meet such demanding requirements.
In view of that, The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to this Special Issue of Machines, titled “Power Converters: Topology, Control, Reliability, and Applications”. This Special Issue will focus on innovative architecture and implementation of power electronics in different applied sectors covering their modelling, designing, controlling, or protection. Submissions may include original research articles or comprehensive reviews.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative power converter design and topologies;
- Advanced control techniques for power converters;
- Reliability modelling of power electronic converters;
- Application of power electronics in distributed generation and renewable energy sources;
- Power converter implementations for grid-tied and smart grids;
- Power electronics for energy storage system;
- Application of power converters in electrifying the transport;
- Utilization of artificial intelligence in industrial power electronic systems.
We look forward to your submissions.
Dr. Tamer Kamel
Guest Editor
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. Machines 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 2400 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.
