A Mass Adoption of Power Electronics in Wind Power System

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of renewable energy sources such as wind power, driven by the necessity of sustainable and clean energy. Wind power has emerged as a major contributor to the global energy mix, with the potential to play a significant role in satisfying the growing energy demand worldwide. In order to harness the full potential of wind power, power electronics technology has become an essential component of wind energy systems.

This Special Issue of the MDPI journal Electronics seeks to showcase recent research advances in the field of power electronics in wind power systems. The focus of this Special Issue is on innovative power electronics solutions that enable efficient and reliable wind power generation, while addressing the unique challenges that are associated with wind energy conversion. We invite authors to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that highlight recent advances in power electronics for wind power systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Power electronics for wind turbines, including power converters, control strategies, and protection systems;
• Integration of wind power systems with the electric grid, including grid connection and control strategies;
• Power electronics solutions for offshore wind power systems, including floating wind turbines, subsea cables, and offshore wind farm control;
• Innovative power electronics technologies for wind energy storage, including batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels;
• Reliability and fault tolerance of power electronics in wind power systems.

The manuscripts submitted to this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and the accepted papers will be published online as soon as they are accepted. We encourage researchers and practitioners working in the field of power electronics and wind power to submit their original research to this Special Issue. This will be an excellent opportunity to showcase your work to a global audience and contribute to advancements in the field.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
