Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Sustainability will be focused on the current and future role of electronic power converters applied to renewable energy systems. Global energy demand will continue to grow at a considerable rate in the coming years. In this scenario, we are facing the challenge of continuing to produce energy and to support global growth while at the same time driving an energy transition towards non-fossil-based generation systems. Meeting this challenge will undoubtedly require the participation of renewable energies in any of its forms. In this energy scenario, power electronics becomes a strategic technology to achieve a high introduction of renewable energies, ensuring the sustainability of energy growth. The objectives of this Special Issue are aimed at the treatment of topologies, structures, and control systems of electronic power converters focused on the production, distribution, and efficient consumption of electrical energy produced from renewable sources.
The Guest Editors invite you to introduce original proposals for this Special Issue in Sustainability, on the theme of applications of electronic power converters in renewable energy equipment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced topologies of electronic power converters applied to renewable energy systems.
- Advanced control techniques for electronic power converters in renewable energy sources.
- Techniques for controlling the injection of energy into the grid from renewable energy sources.
- Application of power electronics based storage devices for renewable energy resources.
- Faults and diagnosis systems in power converters applied to renewable energy systems.
- Real-time simulation of renewable energy generation systems.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
