Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power converters, as crucial components in power conversion, are extensively employed in applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, rail transportation, and power transmission. Ensuring their operational safety and reliability is paramount. The aim of this Special Issue is to integrate advanced sensor-based methods such as condition monitoring, diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control into existing control and/or information systems to enhance the reliability of power converters, thereby ensuring system operational safety and reducing maintenance costs. Various technologies such as sensor monitoring, artificial intelligence, analytical modeling, state estimation, and feature selection will be synergistically merged to enhance the monitoring accuracy and adaptability of practical systems. We invite researchers from academia and industry to submit original and unpublished manuscripts to this Special Issue to showcase the latest advancements in the relevant topics.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Condition monitoring and lifetime assessment of silicon-based or silicon carbide devices based on sensor data of power converters;
- Condition monitoring and reliability evaluation of AC/DC capacitors;
- Advanced sensor-guided fault detection and diagnostic localization;
- Fault propagation and high-performance fault-tolerant control;
- Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control methods, concepts, and performance evaluation in various application domains;
- Novel non-intrusive fault diagnostics and condition monitoring sensor technologies for power electronic component/converters

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. Sensors 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.
