Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building a new-type power system dominated by new energy sources serves as the core pathway to facilitating a clean and low-carbon energy transition, covering the complete energy chain from renewable power generation to end-use electrification. As universal interfaces for precise control and efficient conversion of electrical energy, power electronic converters play a decisive role in overall system efficiency and stability. Specifically, on the generation end, high-performance control of new energy systems such as photovoltaic inverters, wind power converters, and variable-speed pumped storage units is the foundation for maximizing energy harvesting and ensuring grid-compatible integration. On the consumption end, the performance core of electric drive systems represented by electric vehicles lies in the collaborative design of the motor and controller to improve the system power density, efficiency and dynamic response, forming the key technical foundation for energy-side electrification. Consequently, research on system modeling methodologies for power converters, along with the exploration of their coordinated control and stability analysis across diverse application scenarios, holds critical importance for enhancing the operational performance and intelligence of new energy systems.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest research to this Special Issue, which aims to share the latest developments in electric machine systems and power converters in new energy systems.
This Special Issue aims to showcase advanced research on machine systems and power converters, focusing on innovative modeling, control strategies, and system integration. The topic aligns perfectly with the journal's focus on machines, power electronics and renewable energy.
