Smart Energy Systems Based on Next-Generation Power Electronic Devices
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe manuscript can be accepted and a major revision is required. The comments are listed as follow.
1, In the introduction, section 1, two many paragraph is only one sentence, please carefully revise this issue to satisfy the research article format. Similar issue in section 2, section 3 and section 4.
2. For keyword, it is better to provide the full name of AI.
3. The main text should be carefully revised and refined including the grammar error and spelling errors. For example, "In Figure. 1 shows……“。
4. The author should carefully check the abbreviation in the abstract and main text. Generally, the abbreviation should be given for the first time. For example, artificial intelligence has appeared many times in the section 1, and why the abbreviation is given in section 4.
5. For Figure 5, it is better change the Figures to table, because the number of publication in correction, meeting abstract is too much small. For Figure 4 and Figure 5, the meaning of y-axis should be provided.
6. The format of reference should be carefully checked.
Comments on the Quality of English Language
The English should be carefully revised.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsLine 165 In this section a sentence needs to be added suggesting that WBS costs are expected to rapidly reduce as adoption and volume production increase following a Moore’s Law dependency.
The background gridding of Figure 1 is not clear – at least in the copy that this reviewer printed using a high-resolution printer.
Line 206+ and Line 237+
Comments pointing out that ‘meminductor and memcapacitor are just beginning to be explored and hold much promise’ needs to be added. The authors present material on both in a manner that makes these technologies appear ready for use – which is not the case.
Section 5, Line 491+
Modular and scalable power electronic systems are much further along than the authors discuss.
SYNCRIS (syncris.com) has developed and is already shipping modular and scalable microgrid technology based on modular and scalable inverters and storage combined with being agnostic to input power sources. These systems have the following attributes:
· Modular and scalable SYSTEMS are already being shipped to customers
· Inverters are modular and scalable from kW to MW
· They utilize near instantaneous (synchronization in microseconds) hardware based self-synchronization technology
· Modules are hot-pluggable
· Modules enable polyphase systems (single phase, 2-phase, 3-phase, polyphase)
A section on discrete control, model predictive control, and hardware in the loop should be added to the section expounding the use of AI

To Reviewer 2:
Thank you for your review and valuable remarks.
- Line 165 In this section a sentence needs to be added suggesting that WBS costs are expected to rapidly reduce as adoption and volume production increase following a Moore’s Law dependency.
- Thank you very much for your recommendation! Text with a similar meaning has been added in the manuscript..
- The background gridding of Figure 1 is not clear – at least in the copy that this reviewer printed using a high-resolution printer.
- Thank you very much for your comment. The background grid of the figure is enhanced and highlighted.
- Line 206+ and Line 237+
Comments pointing out that ‘meminductor and memcapacitor are just beginning to be explored and hold much promise’ needs to be added. The authors present material on both in a manner that makes these technologies appear ready for use – which is not the case.
- Thank you very much for your recommendation! Added text with similar content. In this aspect, it was also my idea to include them in the review, because they are still expected to come into use.
- 4. Modular and scalable power electronic systems are much further along than the authors discuss.
SYNCRIS (syncris.com) has developed and is already shipping modular and scalable microgrid technology based on modular and scalable inverters and storage combined with being agnostic to input power sources. These systems have the following attributes:

- They utilize near instantaneous (synchronization in microseconds) hardware based self-synchronization technology
- Modules are hot-pluggable
- Modules enable polyphase systems (single phase, 2-phase, 3-phase, polyphase).
- Thank you very much for your recommendation! Added text with your suggested description. I chose to feature the multi-port ultra-fast charge station because it's a highly sought after solution, but your add-on is very helpful!
- A section on discrete control, model predictive control, and hardware in the loop should be added to the section expounding the use of AI".
- Thank you very much. Necessary corrections have been made.
