Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern power systems face unprecedented challenges due to the integration of renewable energy sources, distributed generation, and cyber–physical interdependencies. Ensuring reliability and safety amid evolving grid dynamics demands innovative solutions. This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research on measures to fortify power system resilience and security. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  1. Advanced control algorithms (e.g., adaptive, predictive, or AI-driven controllers) for fault mitigation and stability enhancement.
  2. Novel topologies to optimize redundancy, fault tolerance, and self-healing capabilities.
  3. Resilience analysis frameworks integrating cybersecurity, physical safeguards, and risk assessment.
  4. Data-driven approaches for real-time anomaly detection and adaptive protection schemes.
  5. Case studies on grid-hardening strategies for extreme weather or supply-demand imbalances.

We welcome theoretical advancements, computational models, and simulation or experimental validations that bridge academic research and industry applications. Submissions addressing interdisciplinary challenges are encouraged. This Special Issue aims to compile transformative insights to guide policymakers, utilities, and researchers in building robust, secure, and sustainable power systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Capacitor voltage imbalance among submodules in energy storage modular multilevel converters (MMCs) can lead to current distortion, power oscillations, and even system instability. Traditional voltage control strategies, inherited from non-storage MMCs, offer limited regulation capabilities and are insufficient to address the complex balancing requirements across phases, arms, and submodules in distributed Energy-Storage MMCs (ES-MMC). This paper proposes a self-synchronized common-mode current strategy to achieve capacitor voltage rebalancing in Carrier Phase-Shifted PWM (CPS-PWM) modulated ES-MMCs. The proposed method establishes both phase-level and arm-level power rebalancing pathways by utilizing the common-mode current in the upper and lower arms. Specifically, the DC component of the common-mode current is employed to regulate common-mode power between the arms, while the fundamental-frequency component, through its interaction with the fundamental modulation voltage, is used to adjust differential-mode power. By coordinating these two power components within each phase, the method enables effective capacitor voltage rebalancing among submodules in the presence of power imbalance caused by a nonuniform distributed energy storage converter. A comprehensive analysis of differential- and common-mode voltage regulation under CPS-PWM is presented. The corresponding control algorithm is developed to inject adaptive common-mode voltage based on capacitor voltage deviations, thereby inducing self-synchronized balancing currents. Simulation and experimental results verify that the proposed strategy significantly improves power distribution uniformity and reduces capacitor voltage deviations under various load and disturbance conditions.
