Stability Analysis and Optimal Operation in Power Electronic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Power electronics technology has become increasingly adopted in power, energy, and communication systems over recent decades, enhancing efficiency, power density, controllability, flexibility, and power quality. Unlike traditional energy conversion systems based on electric machines, power electronic converters introduce complex control dynamics that often lead to stability issues across wide frequency ranges and timescales, which is a critical challenge in power electronic systems. Addressing this challenge demands improved stability, reliability, and intelligence in power electronic technology.

Recently, power oscillations and disruptions have been increasingly reported in power electronic systems, ranging from AC/DC microgrids, distribution networks, high-voltage direct-current transmission systems, data centers, electric railways, and shipboard power systems. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to report the technical challenges and recent advances in the stability and optimal operation of power electronic systems.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

(1) Advanced modeling methods for power electronic systems.

(2) Small-signal stability analysis of power electronic systems.

(3) Large-signal stability analysis of power electronic systems.

(4) Stability enhancement and power quality improvement for power electronic systems.

(5) Optimal design methods for power electronic converters and systems.

(6) Advanced control strategies of power electronic converters and systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
