Many forms of powered electronics can convert and control electricity: electrical drives and generators; renewable energy systems; energy storage systems; smart cities and grids; power systems; transport (vehicles, aircraft, ships, and others); industrial, medical, military, telecommunications, and consumable devices, and home apparatus.

“Power Electronics” Section is devoted to publishing original research and state-of-the-art review papers on the emerging technologies and trends in this field, including the components, circuits, design, modeling, simulation, control, implementation, testing, and analysis of power electronics and their applications.

As they are of an open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full text of all of the articles published in our journal. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2022 below.
