Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
With the recent appearance of wide band gap (WBG) devices, ultrafast switching for a high power density of the power converter is possible. These advancements in semiconductor devices are driving enhanced technologies and approaches for resonant converters and dual active bridge converters to provide more high efficiency and high density.
In areas such as wireless power transfer, power supply, and/or solid state transformer, in particular, where spatial separation or electrical isolation must be implemented simultaneously, these improvements are critical to improving system performance.
This Special Issue will cover this promising and dynamic field of research and development. Innovative papers on advanced topology, simulation, modeling, and control enhancement of a load resonant converter or dual active bridge (DAB) Converter are welcome in this special area. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:- Novel power electronic topologies;
- Modeling, analysis, and design of converter and/or control;
- SiC/GaN-based high frequency operation;
- Resonant network or transformer design, tuning, and optimization;
- High efficiency design and control;
- Applied technololgy to wireless power transfer (WPT) systems or DC–DC conversion with electrical isolation.

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.
