Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will investigate cutting-edge research and developments in power converters, with a focus on advancements that contribute to improved efficiency, sustainability, reliability, reusability, and the smooth integration of renewable energy sources into power systems.
Achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 is not sufficient; yet, renewable energy and electronics for energy conversion are critical elements for energy transmission and decarbonization. Furthermore, the problems of e-waste must be tackled, and electronic design must take them into account. Renewable energy sources and integration must be investigated for their great influence on environmental issues. Many features, such as efficiency and control strategies, are critical for addressing sustainability and energy supply, demand, and storage challenges.
Case studies relating to smart grids with distributed renewable energy generation and storage are increasingly numerous and the points addressed are wide-ranging, covering topics from non-linearities and uncertainties to fluctuating dynamics. The impacts, challenges, and advantages of these concepts must be carefully identified through advanced simulations, experimental tests, and real-world case studies.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome and research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Smart grids;
- Renewable energy systems and sources (RESSs);
- New trends and technologies for RESSs and power converters;
- Power devices and circuits;
- Control techniques for converters and systems;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning for power applications;
- Reliability and maintenance;
- Safety and security;
- Modelling and simulation of power converters and their components;
- Applied technologies for electrical storage;
- Evaluation of environmental impacts.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
