Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Power electronics systems dominate the world market, with broad applications from cellphones to electric vehicles and home appliances. Advances in power electronics are playing a crucial role in battling climate issues and helping nations to achieve a more efficient and greener environment.

One essential branch of power electronics that impacts every aspect of our lives is electric drives. With the rapid emergence of power electronics and control techniques, more advanced electric motor drives are now replacing older motor drives to gain better performance, efficiency, and reliability.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality contributions that highlight emerging power converter topologies, and address recent techniques in robust and reliable power electronics converters and motor control methods. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Power electronic devices (silicon and wide bandgap);
  • Power conversion designs, modulation, and control;
  • Reliability of power electronics;
  • Modeling and control of components, converters, and systems;
  • High power/voltage power conversion;
  • Electric drive systems;
  • Sensorless methods for electric drives;
  • Electric machines and drives for transportation electrification;
  • Power electronics for hybrid and electric vehicles.

To reduce the current harmonics on the input side of a multi-pulse rectifier, this paper proposes a low harmonic current source series multi-pulse rectifier based on an auxiliary passive injection circuit at the DC side. The rectifier only needs to add an auxiliary passive injection circuit on the DC side of the series 12-pulse rectifier, which can change its AC input voltage from 12-step waves to 24-step waves. We analyzed the working mode of the rectifier, optimized the optimal turn ratio of the injection transformer from the perspective of minimizing the total harmonic distortion (THD) value of the input voltage on the AC side, and analyzed the diode open circuit fault in the auxiliary passive injection circuit. Test verification shows that, after using the passive harmonic injection circuit, the THD value of the input voltage of the AC side of the rectifier is reduced from 14.03% to 4.86%. The THD value of the input current is reduced from 5.30% to 2.16%. The input power factor has been increased from 98.86% to 99.83%, and the power quality has been improved. Full article

Multilevel inverters, known for their low switching loss and suitability for medium- to high-power applications, often create a heavy computational overhead for the controller. This paper addresses the aforementioned limitation by presenting a novel approach to Direct Model Predictive Control (DMPC) for a grid-tied 289-level ladder multilevel inverter (LMLI). The primary objective is to achieve perfect inverter current control without enumeration. The proposed control method provides a single best solution without complete exploration of the search space. This generalized method can be applied to any multilevel inverter (MLI), enabling them to be used in the grid-tied mode without the computational burden due to a large number of switching states. The DMPC of LMLI with 289-level output and corresponding 289 control inputs, utilizes a discrete model to predict the future state of the state variable. In order to alleviate the enumeration burden, virtual sectors on a linear scale are introduced, and a general formula is provided to identify the single best state among the 289 states, reducing the time required to find the best optimal state per sampling period. Moreover, the proposed control scheme is independent of objective evaluation. Full article
