Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global shift toward smarter and cleaner energy systems creates new opportunities and challenges in electrical engineering and mechatronics. Applications such as electric vehicles, industrial automation, modern robotics, and renewable energy technologies rely on a strong partnership between power electronics and mechatronic design. Achieving high efficiency, fast response, and reliable operation depends on the extent to which these two fields are integrated.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances that have brought these areas closer together. We welcome contributions that present new ideas, practical solutions, experimental work, or innovative methods that help bridge the gap between power conversion, sensing, actuation, and intelligent controls. Studies demonstrating real-world applications, system integration, and performance improvement are especially encouraged.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Technologies 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 1800 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.
