Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic (EM) modeling is a powerful tool that supports the design of novel power electronics systems (PES) used in a wide range of electrical engineering applications. Commonly investigated aspects are related with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues. EM simulations effectively extract quantities that are difficult to evaluate experimentally, such as parasitic inductances, capacitances, and equivalent resistance. This capability enables the use of coupled electromagnetic-circuit models for the design optimization of PES before manufacturing.
An open problem, of great interest for the design of PES, concerns the evaluation of EM losses, e.g., winding losses and core losses. Magnetic components, such as inductors and transformers, are fundamental in power converters and have a significant impact on design. This aspect remains a challenge in view of reducing the overall dimensions of future PES. Finally, thermal modeling plays a crucial role and is closely connected to these considerations.
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the importance of EM analysis for PES modeling. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate cutting-edge research and advancements in this field. We invite submissions on a variety of topics related to EM modeling for PES.
Topics of interest include but, are not limited to, the following:
- Numerical methods such as the finite element method (FEM) and integral equation method (IEM);
- EM macromodeling;
- Thermal modeling;
- Parameters extraction (R, L, C) for the synthesis of equivalent electric circuits;
- EM losses modeling;
- Inductors and transformers.

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.
