Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last decade, lighting systems have experienced great growth towards LED lamps, which requires an equal measure in terms of the development of power electronics technologies.
Power electronics technologies are fundamental for promoting high-quality lighting, always ensuring high efficiency and high reliability under power quality constraints. The adaptation of standards regulation to include new light sources in the market produces a wide variety of electronic topologies and components operating together in the same Low-Voltage (LV) installation compared to other electronic loads as the electric vehicle or a roof-top PV plant. This will lead to new power quality disturbances which might cause equipment to fail, malfunction, or lower in performance depending on the degree of impact. This Special Issue focuses on the power electronic solutions intended to solve power quality disturbances for lighting. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advances in the use of new electrical and electronic components to improve the lifespan of drivers.
- Power electronic for lighting solutions from the electronic component and topologies point of view.
- Advances in the AC-DC converter topology that show a high power factor (PF) and efficiency and a low total current harmonic distortion (THD), among others.
- Advances in the digital control method featuring power factor correction.
- The flicker measurement and impact in new lighting systems.
- Low and high frequency (supraharmonic) current emission from lamps: model and simulation.
- New LED lighting application areas such as agriculture.
- Power quality impact of the interaction between new lighting systems and other electronic loads.

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. Electronics 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.
