Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past decade, renewable energy sources have experienced remarkable advancements. Projections indicate that by 2040, renewable energy technologies will supply approximately half of the world's total energy demands.

Power electronics stand as a cornerstone in the ongoing energy transition, playing an integral role across diverse applications, including electric transportation, renewable energy sources, electric grid management, motor drives, and more. In an industry characterized by stringent demands for reliability, scalability, and efficiency, power converters face important challenges as they pave the way toward a more sustainable future.

This Special Issue's focus is centered on, though not restricted to, the following key research domains:

1. Renewable Energy Systems:
Exploring novel technologies, algorithms, and applications tailored for harnessing energy from sources like solar, wind, marine, and other renewable resources.

2. Renewable Energy Conversion:
Development of novel power converters, control systems, and applications tailored to the efficient utilization of renewable energy sources.

3. Power Converter Advancements:
Developing new converter topologies, control strategies, and modulation systems.


4. Technologies for Renewable Energy Integration:
Advancements in generation, transmission, and distribution systems to seamlessly integrate renewable energy into the existing infrastructure.

5. Emerging Applications of Power Converters:
Exploring the uncharted territories of power electronics in emerging technologies such as electromobility, hydrogen energy, smart grids, and beyond.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
