Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Energies Special Issue on “Conversion and Generation from Renewable Energies”.
This Special Issue is focused on systems that can generate and supply electricity from renewable energies.
Renewable energies are becoming more and more popular because they can fulfill power and energy demands at the local level with zero emissions and reduced environmental impact. Many features, such as efficiency, miniaturization of power converters, and control strategies, are fundamental to address sustainability, climate, and energy supply challenges.
Scenarios considering distributed power generation based on renewables, storages, and smart systems are increasingly being studied to solve problems, such as the varying dynamics, nonlinearities, and uncertainties. Impacts, problems, and advantages of these scenarios must be properly determined with advanced simulations, experimental tests, and real case studies.
The architectures of these scenarios are possible through the progressive evolutions of generators (including storages), and power converters based on the development of new technologies and solutions. For this, many challenges must be faced.
For example, the use of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), to produce power devices is revolutionizing power electronics converters. Due to their features, these devices are valuable for power converter efficiency, power density, reliability, and cost. Even if WBG devices have already been employed in some commercial and industrial products, further applications are expected soon. However, they still present design challenges (gate drive, gate protection, EMI suppression, converter controls, packaging, layout, power and signal integrity, etc.) arising from operation with high switching frequencies, high voltages, and high junction temperatures.
This Special Issue intends to report the latest progress in these important areas.

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.
