AC and DC Power Grids System Technologies: Analysis, Control and Practical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, AC and DC power grids and renewable energy issues in many countries have necessitated increases in the proportion of renewable energy capacity in power systems and a reduction in the dependence on thermal power generation following the rise of environmental awareness. However, the rapid increase in the penetration of intermittent renewable energy and various power generation combination will impact the existing power systems; it is essential to consider the latest advanced technologies with artificial intelligence for AC and DC power grids and renewable energy systems to realize the energy transition. To overcome the challenges mentioned above and allow renewable energy to integrate safely into the power systems, the proposed issue needs state-of-the-art research in AI-related technologies for power systems and must be considered to enhance the safe operation of the system and increase the flexibility of AC and DC power grids.

This issue deals with new technologies for artificial intelligence and advanced technologies for power systems and renewable energy systems, including state-of-the-art research in AC and DC power grids, renewable energy technologies, artificial intelligence, high power DC/DC converters, power electronics converters, fault detection and diagnostics, intelligent power systems and grids, power and energy systems, AI-based methods, sensor-based control, battery energy storage system, vehicle-to-grid, and grid-to-vehicle. These studies are established to improve the strength of power and renewable systems.

In this issue, we sincerely invite the submission of original research results regarding artificial intelligence and advanced power and renewable energy systems technologies. Potential topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the following:

• AC and DC Power Grids
• High Power DC/DC Converters
• Multi-terminal HVDC Converter Control and Protection
• DC Technology at Medium and Low Voltage
• Strategies for AC and DC Fault Ride-Through
• Other Converter Topologies
• Smart Grids
• Renewable Energy Technologies
• Photovoltaic and Wind Energy Technologies
• Fault Detection and Diagnostics
• AI-based Methods
• Sensor-based Control
• Big Data and Machine Learning
• Intelligent Control and Applications
• Battery Energy Storage System
• Power Electronics and Motor Control Technology for Vehicles
• Energy Saving Technology for Building and Air Conditioning
• Other Related Technologies and Applications
