Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The profound changes in electric energy generation and the strong requirements introduced by the rise in electric mobility are leading to previously unencountered challenges in areas such as energy storage, renewable energy source integration, the incorporation of innovative energy storage systems, and the design of fast-charging stations for battery electric vehicles. As a result, novel strategies and approaches must be explored.
Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are a promising class of converter topologies that can perform multiple conversions concurrently, showing great redundancy and multiple degrees of freedom in their control structure. In the past 10 years, multiple solutions involving MMCs have been proposed, including spacing from motor drives, storage system integration, and photovoltaic (PV) system integration.
Researchers and experts in the field are encouraged to submit their original research contributions, survey papers, or tutorials for review in this Special Issue. The topics of interest include, but are not confined to, the following:
- New modular multilevel converters topologies;
- Storage integration by means of MMCs;
- Integration of PV systems with MMCs;
- Hydrogen generation using MMCs;
- Fast charging stations for electric vehicles based on MMCs;
- Modulation techniques;
- Control techniques for converter balancing;
- Innovative motor drives.

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.
