Power Electronics for Renewable Energy Systems
This special issue belongs to the section "Energy Sustainability".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics is a key technology for use of renewable power generation in our societies. These devices convert electricity from one stage to the other stage, which leads to a power electronic-based power system. By this assumption, several technical challenges will be appeared in power grids, regarding the reliability and stability of grid under high penetration of power electronic-based power generators. To meet these challenges in future grids, a new research platform is needed for design and test of power electronic-based generators and their integration with the power grid.
This Special Issue aims to explore the new strategies for overcoming the technical challenges of grid integration of renewable energy systems, such as synchronization of interfaced converters with power grid, operation and control of different power converters in power systems, and stability analysis of power grid under large shares of renewable energies.

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 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. Sustainability 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 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.
