Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Demands of power conversion systems in high power applications are constantly changing, and research areas are evolving toward a wide range of voltage and power. The main challenge lies in developing high power converters and their controls in industrial and transportation applications, such as high voltage DC transmission, reactive power compensation, rail traction systems, rail interties, rail power conditioners, renewable energy conversion, variable frequency drives, medium voltage motor drives, ship propulsion systems, and heavy-duty electric vehicles. These converters must be more efficient, reliable, and fault-tolerant to enable secure and high-quality operation while reducing maintenance and overall costs.
This Special Issue is intended to bring together innovative developments and future trends in power converter technologies and advanced control methods in high power applications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- high-power converter topologies
- advanced control schemes
- advanced multilevel converters
- modular multilevel converters
- model predictive control schemes
- pulse width modulation schemes
- fault-tolerant converter topologies
- fault-tolerant control strategies
- high voltage dc transmission
- reliability of high-power converters
- medium voltage motor drives
- ship propulsion systems
- railway systems
- renewable energy systems

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.
