Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent dynamic development in the area of power electronics has driven continuous progress in all supporting and associated technologies. This includes not only advances in measurement techniques and control algorithms but also innovations in the design, modeling, and verification methods of power electronic systems. As these systems become increasingly complex and widely deployed, the need for robust evaluation methodologies grows accordingly.
Traditionally, the assessment of reliability, performance, and disturbance tolerance has relied on simulations and experimental validation. However, with the increasing integration of power electronics into safety-critical applications—such as renewable energy systems, electric transportation, and smart grids—these evaluation methods must evolve toward more formal, precise, and scalable approaches. In this context, there is a clear and growing demand for advanced verification techniques that can ensure safe, reliable, and precise operation of power electronic systems under a wide range of conditions and uncertainties. These techniques may include formal verification, model-based design, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and hybrid approaches that combine analytical rigor with practical testing.
This Special Issue is now open for submissions and welcomes original research articles and reviews addressing advanced design, testing, and verification methods in power electronics systems. It calls for cutting-edge contributions to fundamental theoretical research, as well as application-based research.
This Special Issue covers, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Advanced modeling techniques for power electronics.
- Artificial intelligence in testing and verification.
- Control algorithm verification and validation.
- Digital twins for power electronics validation.
- Formal methods in power electronics.
- Hardware-in-the-loop testing.
- Model-based design and validation.
- Parameter identification and estimation methods in power electronics.
- Reliability in power electronics.
- Safety-critical power electronics applications.
- Scalable methods for system-level verification.
- Simulation-based evaluation.
- Testing and certification of power electronics.
- Verification of power electronic systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
