Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energies have become a core and essential part of current and future grids thanks to power electronics converters, which enable this wide spread of renewable energy systems and ease their integration into DC or AC grids. Power electronics topologies designed for renewable energy integration are designed to be compact, cost less and exhibit high efficiency to satisfy consumer desire. However, several barriers still stand in the way of massive implementation of this technology, and the associated enabling developments are becoming of paramount importance. These include size optimization, cost, efficiency, flexibility, fault tolerant, protection, and advanced interaction with the grid.
This Special Issue aims to encourage researchers to share new developments and potential solutions addressing the aforementioned and other related topics aiming to make the most out of these emerging technologies.

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.
