Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric power converters are ubiquitous in numerous fields such as power systems, distributed energy resources (DERs), electric vehicles (EVs), urban air mobility (UAM), more electric aircraft (MEA), solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines, and energy storage, to name but a few. Power converters are a significant component, affecting system reliability, safety, energy efficiency, and cost. Unprecedented demand for clean energy combined with challenging net-zero emissions targets is transforming the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electrical energy as we know it. These transformations present exciting opportunities for developing advanced power conversion systems, capable of new and improved performances.
This Special Issue focuses on new insight and trends that will transform how electric power is made, delivered, and consumed. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Power converter topologies, modulation, and control;
- Bidirectional power converters;
- Power converters in smart grids;
- Current source converters;
- Bidirectional battery chargers;
- Uninterrupted power supplies;
- Integration of distributed energy resources;
- Wireless power transfer;
- Wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors for power converters;
- Power quality conditioners;
- Modulation and control methods;
- Active and hybrid filters;
- Performance analysis and loss models.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics 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). 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.
