Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global energy transition, driven by large-scale renewable integration, modernized grid infrastructure, and the electrification of transportation, is placing increasing demands on grid-tied power converters for higher efficiency, greater reliability, and improved grid-forming and grid-following capabilities under diverse operating conditions.
This Special Issue, “Advances in Modulation, Control and Applications of Grid-Connected Power Converters”, aims to bring together cutting-edge research on advanced modulation methods, intelligent control strategies, and innovative applications that push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and reliability in next generation power electronics conversion systems.
The collection emphasizes cross-cutting innovations spanning renewable integration, grid-integrated energy storage systems, solid-state transformers, electric vehicle charging infrastructures, industrial automation, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technologies, and other emerging grid solutions.
We welcome contributions covering, but not limited to, the following: novel modulation methods and advanced control techniques for reliability enhancement, stability and transient performance improvement, harmonic suppression, efficiency enhancement, optimal switching pattern design, battery and capacitor lifetime management, and fault ride-through capability enhancement. Advancements in system integration architectures and real-world hardware implementations, as well as the integration of wide-bandgap devices and their associated control challenges, are also encouraged.
By bridging the gap between academic research and industrial deployment, this Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange insights, share innovative ideas, and explore emerging trends shaping the future of grid-connected power conversion systems.
We warmly invite original research papers, reviews, and case studies from academia, research institutes, and industry.
