Emerging Power Electronics Technologies for Power Systems and Machine Drives

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of "Emerging Power Electronics Technologies for Power Systems and Machine Drives". Power Electronic technologies are found in wide range of power systems and machine drives. The application areas of power electronics are small and/or large capacities for electric circuits, e.g., high-voltage DC transmission systems, large capacity energy storage systems, electric vehicles, power conditioners for photovoltaic systems, ship and train traction systems, etc. The applications of power electronic circuits are now increasing throughout various aspects of our lives.

This Special Issue will focus on emerging power electronic topologies, and applications for power systems and motor drives. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• High voltage DC transmission systems;
• Novel renewable energy converter/inverter systems;
• Virtual synchronous generator;
• Electrical machines, drives, systems and applications;
• New topologies for high voltage inverter/converter;
• New applications for power electronics;
• Power electronics in smart grid;
• AC/DC converters and inverters;
• Control and optimization of power electronic circuit;
• Distributed generation for power electronics;
• Recent traction systems for vehicles, trains and ships;
• Demand side electrification and management of power electronics

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.
