Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The history of power electronics is both extensive and rich. At the inception of the 20th century, it surfaced with the presentation of a rectifier that transforms high-voltage alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Currently, power electronics play a pivotal role in renewable energy systems, and for the transition from centralized to decentralized distribution systems, they are essential components. PV and wind are the main renewable energy resources. The PV Europe Solar Technology and Applications data show that global PV installation has increased up to 50% in 2023 and will reach 351 GW. Meanwhile, the worldwide installation of wind turbines is going to increase to 906 GW by the end of 2023. The handling of all these is performed by power electronics technology. Consequently, the demand for designing and modelling dependable and cost-effective power electronics devices and their control systems is high.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight and address recent breakthroughs in the modelling, design, application, and control of power electronics for smart grids, off-grid and grid-connected renewable energy systems, etc.
The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Power electronics applications in power systems;
- Power converter design and applications;
- Filter design and applications for power converters;
- Control techniques for power converters;
- Smart grids;
- AC, DC, and hybrid microgrids;
- High voltage direct current (HVDC);
- Distributed generation, fuel cells, and renewable energy systems;
- Electric drivers and applications;
- Renewable energy, including wind, solar, and wave, etc.;
- Power electronics for electrical vehicle charging stations.

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.
