Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of "High gain and high efficiency DC-DC and DC-AC converters for interfacing of PV systems and fuel cells with utility grid". Photovoltaic (PV) and fuel cell (FC) generation systems have been competitive in power generation as an alternative to fossil energy resources over the past decades. The installation of grid-connected PV systems grows rapidly and this growth rate is expected to continue which is connected with the fast development of the power electronics technology. From the other hand clean and efficient fuel cell power systems have shown great potentials as an alternative power supply technology for distributed energy resources, i.e. serving as backup power systems for grid services. This Special Issue will focus on DC-DC and DC-AC converters for interfacing of PV systems and fuel cells with utility grid. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- high efficiency high step-up DC-DC converters,
- harmonic-free grid connected DC-AC converters,
- mitigation of leakage currents and electromagnetic interference (EMI) of DC-DC and AD-AC converters interfacing PV and FC systems,
- active and reactive power control of grid cnnected PV and FC inverters
- mitigation of negative effects of long cables, parasitic capacitances, grid disturbances, etc. on the performance of FC and PV generation 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). 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.
