Advanced Technologies in Power Electronics and Electric Drives

Dear Colleagues,

Power electronics systems dominate the world market, with broad applications from cellphones to electric vehicles and home appliances. Advances in power electronics are playing a crucial role in battling climate issues and helping nations to achieve a more efficient and greener environment.

One essential branch of power electronics that impacts every aspect of our lives is electric drives. With the rapid emergence of power electronics and control techniques, more advanced electric motor drives are now replacing older motor drives to gain better performance, efficiency, and reliability.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality contributions that highlight emerging power converter topologies, and address recent techniques in robust and reliable power electronics converters and motor control methods. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Power electronic devices (silicon and wide bandgap);
• Power conversion designs, modulation, and control;
• Reliability of power electronics;
• Modeling and control of components, converters, and systems;
• High power/voltage power conversion;
• Electric drive systems;
• Sensorless methods for electric drives;
• Electric machines and drives for transportation electrification;
• Power electronics for hybrid and electric vehicles.
