Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is welcoming submissions for a Special Issue of Energies entitled "Electro-Thermal Modelling, Aging and Lifetime Estimation of Power Electronics Circuits".
Power devices are employed in various industrial applications, including energy transfer (grid, wind), industrial applications (rail, photovoltaic systems) and civil equipments (electric vehicles, battery chargers, home appliance). Power circuit reliability may be affected by these devices’ high switching frequency, causing strong thermal fluctuations. Therefore, conducting an electro-thermal analysis is essential in order to enhance their reliability and to ensure their continuous operation. The device aging phenomenon is taken into consideration for lifetime estimation and degradation analysis.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power electronics applications;
Electro-thermal simulation strategy and analysis;
Active thermal control methods to improve reliability.

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.

Title: Reliability analysis of power electronic system in renewable energy systems
Authors: Authors' Ahmed Darwish；Felician Campean
Affiliation: Lancaster University and University of Bradford
Abstract: Abstract : The paper presents a performance analysis of the power electronic converters employed in photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy systems with battery energy storage (BES). Power electronic converters are becoming more important thanks to the advancement in semiconductor technologies and are being employed in different applications such as renewable energy systems, motor/drive applications, electric vehicles, chargers, biomedical systems, and many others. In parallel with the high penetration of power electronics in the different engineering systems, the need for robust and reliable power electronic converters is increasing significantly. The paper studies the reliability of main component the power electronic converters in the context of PV energy sources with BES systems.
