Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energy sources continue to play a pivotal role in the global energy landscape but integrating them into power systems presents significant challenges. Predictive control has emerged as a powerful solution to address the dynamic and complex nature of renewable energy integration and energy conversion systems. By providing optimal, real-time control strategies, predictive control enhances the performance, stability, and energy efficiency of systems while reducing operational costs and minimizing the impact of uncertainties.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest developments and applications of predictive control in renewable energy integration and energy conversion systems. Its topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New MPC techniques for power converters: multilevel, matrix, and classical converters for AC-AC, DC-DC, and DC-AC (bidirectional) power conversion.
- New MPC techniques for motor drives.
- Predictive control for power systems, smart and micro-grids, and wind, solar, and other energy conversion systems.
- Advanced MPC techniques for energy/power conversion system maintenance, including, but not limited to, fault detection and diagnosis, power electronics reliability and fault-tolerant control.
- MPC grid-integrated applications for low-inertia and inertia-varying grids.
- MPC solutions for very-low-switching-frequency medium-voltage/high-power drives.
- Data-driven (modeless) and artificial intelligence solutions for MPC, etc.

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.
