Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Greetings from the Special Issue Editor.
I am inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject of “Energy Efficiency in Electric Motors, Drives, Power Converters and Related Systems Ⅱ”, which is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue. Today, there is growing attention focused on increasing the use of renewable energy to guarantee sustainable growth all over the world. In the short term, however, even more interesting results can be obtained by increasing energy efficiency. As an example, the European Union has set itself a 20% energy savings target by 2020, which is roughly equivalent to turning off a few hundred power stations. Today, 20% of all final energy consumption in the EU is in the form of electrical energy, but this is predicted to grow significantly over the next few decades. Given this scenario, but considering also that electric motors in industrial applications consume 35%–40% of the generated electrical energy worldwide, power electronics is a key enabling technology allowing the efficient generation, use, and distribution of electrical energy and the implementation of energy saving applications at reasonable costs, also leading to the huge diffusion of electrical motor drives.
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. Papers are solicited which cover aspects of energy efficiency, including the following topics and any other relevant topics that may not be directly specified.
- High efficiency electric machines and electrical drives;
- High efficiency power converters: topologies, modulation and control;
- Wide bandgap power electronic devices and applications;
- Renewable energy systems;
- Grids, smart grids, and utility applications;
- Electrical energy storage systems;
- Energy conversion systems for information technology;
- Energy efficiency for residential, commercial and industrial applications;
- Wireless power transfer;
- Systems for electrical propulsion and transportation electrification;
- Electric and hybrid vehicles;
- Highly efficient components for energy conversion.

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.
