Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics converters play a major role in various applications, such as renewable energy generation, electrical vehicles, battery energy storage systems, solid state transformers, etc., in efficient system management and power security, beyond simply interfacing between power sources and loads. Furthermore, the increased demand for green energy requires power converters to feature intelligent operation as well as higher power capacity.
This Special Issue covers new architectures, topologies, control algorithms, and reliabilities for power converters. Novel architectures, such as multilevel and modular, need to be developed, as well as strategies for optimized design of prior art/new structures. Topologies and intelligent control algorithms for efficient and reliable systems are of interest to this Special Issue, as well as the reliability issue, which has emerged in order to ensure power security, and condition monitoring and fault-tolerant methods and active thermal control.
More specifically, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Architecture:
- Novel architectures: multilevel, modular, etc.;
- Design optimization: efficiency, volume, cost, etc.;
- Innovative topologies: soft switching, resonant, etc.;
- Modeling and simulation;
Control and Modulation:
- Advanced control algorithms in converter level and system level;
- Artificial intelligence techniques for advanced systems;
- Modulation strategies for efficient and reliable systems;
Reliability:
- Condition monitoring and fault-tolerant operation;
- Active thermal control of power electronics components and systems;
- Lifetime predictions of power electronic components and systems;
- Reliability testing and evaluation methods of power electronic components and systems.

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. Energies 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).
