Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics converters and electric motor drives are indispensable parts of modern life, present in a wide range of modern applications due to their higher efficiency and better performance. New power converters, as well as new electric motor topologies, have been proposed in recent decades to fulfill critical roles in several applications. Therefore, considerable research has been devoted to new control methods for these crucial systems. Conventional linearized control methods were studied at first; however, as the dynamic behavior of power electronics systems are rich in nonlinear characteristics, more sophisticated nonlinear control techniques have since been proposed to enhance the systems’ performance and stability. This Special Issue will focus on new control techniques for power electronics converters and electric motor drives in practical applications. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions for review for publication in this Special Issue.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Linear and nonlinear control of three-phase and multiphase motor drive systems;
- Linear and nonlinear control of power electronics converters;
- New modulation techniques for power converters and electric 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
