Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The electrical industry is experiencing a 4th revolution due to ICT, the IoT, renewables, and power electronics. New technologies are driving generation, transmission, and distribution sectors, as well as the final use of electric energy toward new goals with the tri-lemma: decarbonization, digitization, and decentralization.

This revolution is improving the efficiency of the electricity sector, raising global income levels and improving quality of life.

In this context, this Special Issue, entitled “Innovative Solutions for the Electrical Industry”, encourages authors to submit original research papers on the following topics:

  • Equipment protection and service continuity during faults in industrial sites;
  • Safety and security in transmission and distribution;
  • Active filters for improving power quality;
  • DC microgrids;
  • Static converter-based energy systems;
  • Power electronics solutions for enhancing the conversion efficiency of RES-based distributed generators;
  • Internet of Things in the electricity sector;
  • Internet of Safety: innovative solutions for protecting persons against hazards from electricity;
  • Aggregation of distributed flexibility and ancillary services;
  • Electromagnetic compatibility and reliability in power systems.

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.

This paper proposes and verifies a complete design flow of miniaturizing a coil antenna and widening its impedance bandwidth for near-field application, such as NFC, RFID and WPT. The proposed scheme based on mature electronic element matching technology is interpreted in detail by two equivalent circuit models in theory. For convenience, only the series equivalent circuit and its matching circuit are respectively established in the circuit simulator ADS and ANSYS HFSS to assess the scheme proposed from two aspects. The parallel equivalent circuit can be optimized by a similar approach. Then, a WPT system is established in HFSS to further verify the feasibility of miniaturization. Finally, the dimension of the coil antenna can be reduced by about 70%, and its impedance bandwidth can be increased by approximately 40% after two electronic modules are integrated. Full article
