Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics represent the development of semiconductor technologies for electricity control and conversion. Currently, it is estimated that roughly half of the world’s energy is electrical, 70% of which is managed by power electronics. It follows that, owing to the general electrification of society, this percentage will increase steadily in the next few decades. PEs are enabling the electrification of remote urban areas, converting polluting industrial processes and transportation infrastructure into greener alternatives, and improving population wealth through more affordable energy.
In recent decades, power electronics have enabled the development of a number of groundbreaking technologies in terms of efficiency, compactness, and reliability. However, we are always seeking fewer losses, faster reaction speeds, higher control flexibility, and scalability across power and voltage levels, key attributes of future energy systems. Many innovations are still on the horizon, across several disciplines, including new materials (e.g., wide- and ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors), designs, device fabrication, packaging, power circuits, smart control, etc.
This issue on “High-Power Electronic Device Technologies and Its Applications” will gather reviews, regular research papers, and communications on scientific research, technological development, engineering policies, and management studies related to the general field of power electronics. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental, numerical, and theoretical results in as much detail as possible, with no restriction in terms of the maximum paper length. Full experimental details must be provided to allow for result reproducibility. For numerical simulations, an accurate description of the methods and mesh sensitivity is mandatory.
Papers are accepted in the following fields:
- Power electronic materials and devices
- Wide and ultrawide semiconductor materials;
- High-voltage device design;
- High-frequency and high-speed devices;
- High-power packaging.
- Electrical power systems
- Smart grids and microgrids;
- Electric vehicles;
- Power electronics of renewable energy;
- Power electronic miscellanea.
- Power condition monitoring and health
- Safe power;
- Artificial intelligence in energy system design and control;
- Monitoring and control systems.
- Energy use in industry
- Energy economics and policy (in relation to power electronics)

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.
