Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The fast growth of distributed generation systems (DGSs) and smart grids (SGs), including the increasing number of renewable energy sources (RES), active loads, and energy storages, requires the development of high-performance power electronics converters. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on emerging grid-connected power electronic topologies, control, and applications. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- advanced grid-connected converters (e.g., WBG 2-level converters, cell-based multilevel grid converters);
- advanced modulation and control schemes;
- modeling and implementation of converters and control;
- grid filters, including inductive components, filter design, and active damping;
- parallel connected grid converters;
- special problems at weak grids and/or small (island) grids;
- solid state transformers/smart transformers; and
- active filters, active rectifiers, FACTS, Statcom, etc.

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.
