Power Electronic Devices and Components

Power Electronic Devices and Components (PEDC) is an open-access journal specifically focusing on power-electronic devices and components, including materials, fabrication, design, characterization, and applications. On top of that, PEDC aims at being a timely and powerful tool to create a new synergy between the power-device- and the power-electronics community. The coverage of the journal includes the following topics: Active power components: design and fabrication process, physics and characterization, FEM- and compact modeling, packaging and related issues, failure mechanisms, and reliability, extreme conditions, emerging power devices; Passive power components: capacitors, inductors and transformers, printed circuit boards, fuses, and ancillary components; Related topics in the field of power components: gate drivers and disruptive applications, e.g. 10 kV and higher, energy harvesting, condition monitoring, and EMI in power electronics. PEDC publishes Research Papers, describing significant advances and completed work. Review Papers are welcome to report on important and developing topics of general interest. Practical papers reporting case studies and specific application domains are particularly encouraged. All contributions are subject to rigorous peer review by leading experts in the field. Special issues devoted to emerging topics and premium international conferences should be proposed to the Editors-in-Chief for consideration.
