Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The current energy transition to a sustainable society has propelled the rapid development of novel technologies, such as electric vehicles, fast-charging stations, more efficient renewable energy systems, large-capacity storage energy systems, etc. All these technologies rely on power electronics converters, which have imposed new challenges in terms of topology, design, and control. To solve the current problems and efficiently support the energy transition, innovative topologies, modelling, and control techniques have been proposed and discussed in the literature.

In this context, we would like to invite all potential authors to publish the results of their research in a Special Issue of the journal Energies, entitled “Power Converters: Modeling, Control, and Applications in Power Electronics”. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, those described in the keywords.

This study proposes a novel double closed-loop robust control strategy based on a power switching affine model of three-phase voltage source converters (VSCs). The aim is to overcome the challenges posed by inaccurate mathematical models, complex controller configurations, indirect switching control, and performance degradation under circuit parameters uncertainty or load variation in conventional methods. These conventional methods rely on linearization models, duty ratio regulation, and pulse width modulation (PWM) technologies. The contributions of work are the following: (1) A two-dimensional (2D) power switching affine model is constructed without any approximation or averaging. (2) The proposed approach achieves direct switching control of three-phase VSCs, eliminating the need for complex rotation coordinate transformation, PWM, and phase locking loop (PLL), which are utilized in traditional control methods. (3) The rigor of the system stability analysis is enhanced based on the 2D power switching model compared to the existing three-dimensional (3D) current switching model. (4) A simple control structure with only two control parameters is employed to address circuit parameter uncertainties. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method is validated through simulation and experimental comparison results. Full article
