Aims & Scope

Power Electronics and Drives (PEAD) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal which aims to publish original scientific papers (research and survey papers) on new theoretical developments, novel applications, and case studies regarding advances in power electronics and electrical drive systems. Articles published in our journal cover full scope of power electronics and its applications in electrical drives, renewable energy systems and mechatronic systems. The published articles deal with the following subjects: power electronic converters; intelligent control in power electronics and drives; state variable estimation for AC and DC drives; diagnostics in power electronics and drive systems; fault-tolerant control strategies in power electronic converters and drives; industrial drives, renewable energy systems and smart grid technologies; power consumption and energy efficiency of converter-fed drives; electrical machines modeling, simulations and analysis; motion control, mechatronics; education issues in power electronics and drives; other related topics.
