Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interest in the efficient usage of renewable energy, together with the development of highly efficient power electronic converters, has created new interest in the topic of photovoltaic (PV) and battery converters. Nevertheless, highly efficient battery converters and battery management systems are also important for the electric vehicle sector. Smart battery management systems have also attracted interest for their promising role in improving the performance and life cycle of batteries in autonomous PV systems and electric vehicles. The control of PV and/or battery converters by application of modern artificial-intelligence-based techniques and systems is another topic of increasing importance.
Innovative solutions need to be evaluated and developed to allow new efficiency and intelligence levels in PV systems, battery management systems, and battery converters for electric vehicles. These new solutions are expected to increase the availability, convenience, and performance of the abovementioned systems. Papers focused on battery converters for electric vehicles, battery management systems, and power converters for PV and battery systems at all scales (from microgrid scale to battery storage in large-scale electrical systems) are welcome).

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.
