IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics
Special Issue on Design and Validation Methodologies for Power Electronics Components and Systems

In the emerging and fast-evolved applications such as renewables, energy storage, power grid and electrified transportations, 
power electronics converters are imposed with growing size and power capacity, reducing price per kW, more complicated 
control functions, and more complex working conditions. Under this scenario, it is essential to accurately evaluate more aspects 
and details of performance metrics with high confidence level, not only for the metrics of efficiency and power density, but also 
for the metrics of temperature, insulation, stability, and reliability. This paradigm shift calls for more advanced methods for the 
design and validation of power electronics components/systems, by means of FEM/HiL simulation, multi-physics/multitimescales modelling, mission profile emulation, design automation, and artificial intelligence, etc.. On the other hand, the 
design targets are not only limited to power semiconductors, but also for the passive components, software, test bench and 
extensive part of power electronics-related systems. This special issue serves to foster and collect new research achievements 
within the scope of advanced design and validation methods in the field of power electronics. Please find the attached call for paper.

All submissions should be made through Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jestpe-ieee. The cover page should 
be clearly marked with “Special Issue on Design and Validation Methodologies for Power Electronics Components and Systems” and 
the appropriate manuscript type should be selected when uploading the submission. Manuscripts submitted for this special issue will 
be handled by the guest editorial board outlined below. For more information on special issues and electronic submissions, please go 
to http://www.ieee-pels.org/publications/jestpe. Note: The core of JESTPE is power electronics, to be accepted, papers must include 
relevant contents in this area, and experimental verification is compulsory, otherwise papers will be considered out of scope.
